Philippines Aggressor II is the newest and largest Aggressor vessel operating in Philippine waters, launched in April 2024. This 42.7-meter steel yacht represents the latest in liveaboard design, accommodating 26 guests across 13 staterooms with a dedicated crew of 15. The four-deck layout includes premium balcony suites on the upper deck and twin staterooms with panoramic windows below. As the flagship of Aggressor’s Philippines operation, the vessel runs 7, 10, and 11-night itineraries to Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park and throughout the Visayas, combining modern amenities with the full-service diving experience the Aggressor fleet is known for.
Staterooms are distributed across two deck levels. Eight twin staterooms on the lower deck feature panoramic windows that flood cabins with natural light. Five balcony suites on the upper deck offer private outdoor space — a rare feature on Philippine liveaboards. All staterooms include private en-suite bathrooms with hot showers, individual climate control, and modern furnishings.
Common areas span multiple decks. The indoor lounge and restaurant provide air-conditioned comfort for meals and evening entertainment. The hot tub and wet bar create a social hub for post-dive relaxation. With 15 crew for 26 guests, service maintains the attentive standard Aggressor is known for.
Meals are served in the restaurant with a mix of Filipino and international cuisine. The galley team prepares fresh dishes throughout the day, accommodating dietary requirements with advance notice.
