The magic of Moanna, Mario, Crew and Komodo
I fell in love with Moanna - very well appointed and proportioned. All parts are aesthetically very pleasing - even the air conditioners are covered with timber- so they blend in. The rooms, deck, diving area - all feel well sized, functional and attractive. It is an incredibly beautiful and a very functional vessel - could not ask for more. Then there is Mario - a very experienced and well seasoned interesting character. He runs a tight ship almost effortlessly. The dive equipment, air compressors, engines and generators are shiny; his knowledge of currents - the right spots to dive in along with his focus on safety just makes you feel that you are in expert hands and don’t need to worry about a thing. Mario and Moanna go together naturally. Then there are the lovely, attentive crew and dive guides. Friendly, competent, nothing is too much trouble - food is great They set up the equipment, guide you on and off the smaller dive boats - which are very comfortable. Everything just seems to happen (including 13 litre cylinders at 200 bar - never less) smoothly and effortlessly - leaving you to relax, enjoy and dive. Finally, there are the magical corals and natural wonders of Komodo. Left me feeling like I was in a dreamworld underwater (I dreamt of corals for days afterwards) Those six days made me feel that all is well with the world If you are reading this review and looking at boats - fearlessly and without doubt book Moanna.

Simply incredible
As soon as we boarded the Moana we knew we had made the right choice. The boat is a beautifully finished Phinisi with extremely comfortable rooms but above all, a huge outside space (more like an outside living room) which was perfect for relaxing either before or after the dives. This is an extremely 'intelligent' boat as the atmosphere is both relaxed and warm and Mario becomes part of the family whilst you are on board. Mario's experience of the waters off Komodo and knowledge of both dive sites and currents was second to none as we were always dropped in at the right place, at the right time and with a good knowledge of the dive site after an extremely comprehensive briefing before each dive. The crew on this boat is a happy one and one can often hear their laughter throughout the day whilst they go about their daily duties and the dive equipment was always perfectly set up and on time for our next underwater adventure. Both my wife and I prefer sail boats and Moana is an extremely comfortable and stable boat on the water. If you prefer Motor boats then this boat might make you change your mind. Before choosing the Moana I had done a lot of research and chose her because of her experience in the Komodo waters, the long standing crew members (most of which have been on this boat for 6-8 years at least which is always a good sign) and of course for the good food reviews. All of this turned out to be true and so this is why we shall be returning on Moana with a larger group of friends in the not so distant future, perhaps to explore the Southern side of the park. A huge thank you to the Moana crew and of course to Mario for making our trip a memorable one and see you soon! I would also like to mention that liveaboard.com have been brilliant and were always available for any questions that we had pre-trip, helping us every step of the way from when we initially booked to when we disembarked.

Fantastic experience on board Moana
Just finished trip on board Moana and had an amazing time. The boat is beautiful and with only 10 guests, is very relaxed. The daily schedule is amended based on the changing currents and conditions to ensure every dive is fun, with so much life to see. The guides are great at spotting all the small things! As vegetarian food can be low point for me on liveaboards but here I was treated to great variety of tasty meals, similar to rest of the guests. Would highly recommend taking a trip on the Moana in Komodo!

Senior Level Dive Trip
This was my sixth liveaboard trip and it has certainly been the best boat so far. The crew is continuously aware of our needs, not being a very large group everything is easier. The food is spectacular and the boat is very comfortable. If this wasn't enough, the diving in Komodo is absolutely spectacular, the best corals I've seen so far.

Unforgettable experience on the best looking boat in Komodo
Mario did an incredible job navigating the crazy weather that we experienced and made sure that we didn’t miss a dive. The crew were incredible and the meals were always a warm welcome after each dive. The guides knew each site like the back of their hand and were great to dive with. The boat itself is a thing of beauty and very well equipped for all kinds of divers.

Experienced Guides = excellent trip
The dive spots are amazing. Diving with some of the more experienced guides in the Komodo park. Moana dives exclusively in Komodo year round, which means they understand the dive sites, currents and tides that only years of experience diving the area brings. The boat is comfortable and well run. The pacing of the diving is great - we had the opportunity of up to 4 dives on a full day - which on a 6 day dive trip was about right. We also got to experience some of the Komodo National park - seeing the dragons, doing a sunset walk, spending time on a remote beach. Perfect liveaboard - dive and cruise.
