Highlights
Bajak is a newly renovated boat that evokes a pirate-like atmosphere while offering modern comforts for 14 guests. The living space consists of 4 air-conditioned cabins: 1 master cabin with a double bed and an en-suite bathroom, and 3 shared cabins with 4 bunk beds and 2 shared bathrooms. Made mostly from ironwood and teakwood salvaged from decommissioned boats, the Bajak operates as a liveaboard boat in the beautiful setting of the Komodo National Park and offers access to one of the richest marine environments in the world, including stunning coral reefs, seagrass beds, seamounts, pinnacles, dramatic walls, overhangs, semi-enclosed bays, and Komodo Dragons.
The exterior features a spacious, shaded deck ideal for dive preparation, as well as an unshaded rooftop equipped with comfortable bean bags and sun mattresses, perfect for tanning and relaxation. The dining table is set right in the open galley. Additionally, there is a furnished, undercover space perfect for relaxing and staying cool.
The itineraries can be set to meet everyone’s picture of a perfect holiday. Complementary to diving are surfing, sailing, and stand-up paddleboarding. Guided walks on the local islands are also possible, offering opportunities to see the Komodo dragon. Komodo offers some of the best diving in the world, with dive sites such as Manta Point, Batu Balong, and Batu Tiga. The reserve is teeming with diversity. Dugongs, manta rays, white-tip reef sharks, and hawksbill turtles are just a few residents. There is also the option to do your advanced diving course on-site.

Great diving, the boat itself extremely rustic
We have had many highlights above and under water in the 4 days. Manta rays without end, hammerheads, gray sharks and much more in the macro area. The corals are a dream. On Komodo we saw a lot of yellow-cheeked cockatoos besides the monitor lizards.

Intimacy and cute
I recently joined a liveaboard trip in Komodo with Bajak, and honestly it became one of my favorite dive trips so far. If you’re looking for a warm, authentic liveaboard experience rather than a luxury cruise, Bajak is a perfect choice.

Great trip through Komodo
Great trip on Bajak, great guides making sure diving is safe but if wanted also challenging and catering to all different experience levels. Amazing dive sites. Great food and snacks on the boat and super kind and helpful staff. Absolutely loved the trip and would do it again. Rooms are, as shown in pictures. A bit small but beds are comfortable, AC works well.

Amazing live aboard experience
I did my advance course on the cruise and had the most amazing experience. The dives were challenging, but I had detailed explanation and felt fully supported! Staff in general made me feel like Family for the four days on the sea. Super yummy snacks and variety of food as well. The boat was just the perfect size for the group and had some cool and comfy chilling spaces.

These were 4 days to never forget.
It was a great experience. We were very lucky with our very nice co-guests and with the great crew. The diving was very professionally guided, with honest descriptions of what challenges to expect. Fantastic food. Perfect and secure care for getting back safely after diving or snorkling, the gear, the tanks, the boat, the cleaning. We noticed a hard working crew with a great sense of humor and much care for each other and for us. And we had so much fun, we laughed a lot playing games and joking about everything.

Transformative trip; extraordinary marine environment, fabulous friendly people -
A transformative experience. The most beautiful environment above and below the water; more fish than I have ever seen before, amazing coral reefs; multiple viewings of the magnificent manta rays and the most friendly, enthusiastic and helpful dive masters and crew you could possibly want. Not to mention the mix of international guests who were all delightful. A total treat. Scuba Republic run a highly professional, safe, affordable and enjoyable diving experience. I had 3 nights/4 days on board Bajak around the Komodo Islands and although I am relatively new to diving with still a lot to learn, and confidence to build, all my needs and concerns were taken care of moment by moment. My dive master was there for me all the way. If the dive was going to be too challenging for me, I would either snorkel or relax on the deck and enjoy the scenery instead. Yunus, the dive director, was not only extremely experienced but a bundle of laughs too. Takim the chef kept us so well fed - it was impossible to resist his delicious food.. the captain knew his boat and the islands, Bajak was well built and comfortable. To my surprise there was even wifi! I was both the granny of the trip – 20-30 yrs older than all the other guests,(!) and the baby in terms of diving experience and I have no hesitation in thoroughly recommending this trip to anyone who is after a unique underwater experience in one of the most beautiful unspoilt areas of the world.

Great dive spots and fantastic crew!
I had a great time on the Bajak liveaboard with the Scuba Republic crew! The dives were amazing - we saw manta on three different dives, and the marine life and reefs were some of the best I've seen, with really good visibility. The dive guides were fantastic - they made sure we had a lot of fun, whilst also checking in to ensure we were confident on some of the more challenging dives. Thank you to our dive guide Yunus and the full team on Bajak - I'd definitely recommend this trip for anyone wanting to explore Komodo!
