Set sail on an Indonesian adventure aboard the Akomo Isseki liveaboard. A traditional hand-crafted wooden phinisi, she is crewed by the Bugis sailors of South Sulawesi and offers fantastic dive itineraries in Raja Ampat and Komodo National Park. Four naturally ventilated cabins with twin beds accommodate 8 guests on board. Shared bathrooms feature modern facilities and traditional handicrafts.
Social areas include the communal dining area and a large, partially covered sun deck. Enjoy a selection of freshly cooked Indonesian and Western meals, beach BBQs, freshly baked bread, treats, and hot coffee. Days can be spent lounging on the sun deck in between dives, kayaking, snorkeling, and island visits, and unwinding at the end of the day, enjoying an incredible sunset, the sea breeze, and a cold beer with your fellow dive buddies.
The Akomo Isseki phinisi visits dive destinations, including Raja Ampat, Komodo National Park, and the Banda-Ambon crossing. In Komodo, dive at Karang Makassar and get up close with schools of Manta Rays, enjoy a dusk dive at Palau Siaba to watch the beautiful Mandarin fish perform their mating dance ritual, and walk with Dragons on Komodo Island. Raja Ampat itineraries are offered from November to April and are a divers' paradise. Home to some of the most biodiverse diving in the world, marine life encounters can include wobbegong sharks, pygmy seahorses, nudibranchs galore, dugongs, manta rays, and humpback whales. For the more adventurous, the Spice Island Trail from Ambon to Waisai (or reverse) is not to be missed. This is the chance to dive off the beaten track and explore untouched beauty, with the chance to dive with schooling hammerheads.
Whichever itinerary you choose, the passionate dive guides and attentive boat crew will surely deliver an exceptional trip to remember. Book online today.

Experienced crew - a MUST on Komodo
Fantastic dive sites with sharks, manta rays, beautiful corals and countless schools of fish!But above all, the crew and the dive guides (Alex and Ono) were the reason why our trip was so unforgettable. The hospitality and especially the many years of experience in the Komodo National Park has shown itself (Secret Dive spots partly without other boats, and currents perfectly estimated).Our only concern - that a cabin without air conditioning in Indonesia could be a problem - was ultimately unfounded: at night it cools down well, we even slept without a fan and only with the window open.Many thanks to the crew, the good food and the musical evenings, ❤️ we came as guests and disembarked as a family.

Amazing and unforgettable liveaboard.
The week spent onboard the Akomo Isseki has been absolutely fantastic. What I loved the most about this trip were definitely the dive sites and the vibes on the boat. The crew was always smiling and more than happy to help with anything. A special shoutout to Alex and Ono, they have been two fantastic dive guides and I had the pleasure to dive with both of them. I feel so grateful I had to share this experience with my dive buddy Joshua and we are looking forward to join this liveaboard again soon. Thank you!!

It was my first liveaboard and I was skeptical at first, especially because of the good price offer, but the boat has a very efficient team,the cook chef did every goog menu, all dives were spectacula
What's great is that we always see a different landscape every day with different dive sites that the guides know like the back of their hand. Being grateful and living in the moment is the best thing that can happen.

Perfect 11 days on the Akomo Isseki!
Perfect 11 days on the Akomo Isseki. The food was really good. We were also really lucky with the weather despite the rainy season, so that you could relax in the sandbags every day on deck under the awning. The dives were also mega, especially our guide who always spread a good mood. A highlight was also the whole crew, who were always in a good mood and often sang songs with guitar in the evenings. Only in the cabins it was very warm in the evening in the hot weather, there was a small fan for each bed, but it was quite loud. So either take earplugs with you or sleep in the sandbags like I did on deck. Overall, however, the highlight of my Indonesia trip!
