Best trip ever the fact that the crew go above and beyond even cleaning all your kit at the end of the trip I have never had on any other live aboard. The boat itself is just beautifully detailed with decoration obviously pirate themed! Take to the high seas on calico jack and you will never regret it!

With a special touch that other liveboards don't have
I spent 12 days at the Calico Jack and everything was excellent. The boat is well maintained, the diving teams are in good condition and the staff who are a very good group of people are always very attentive, they are super organized and very cool."J" the course director, is passionate about marine life and at the end of each day he generates a space to share photos of the dives and identify the marine life that each one saw. I detail this because it really gives it a special touch that is not common to see in other liveboards
Recommended for
At the end of each day "J" the course director completes his logbook and invites everyone to participate, generating a very interesting exchange of photos and recognition of sighted species. The crew is an excellent group and they make a very good team, this is reflected in the excellent service they give. The boat and equipment is well maintained.

The guiding was perhaps the best I have experienced, each guide brought a unique skillset and made the dives so much more interesting and fun!. J was a wealth of knowledge sharing time each evening to log dives and recount the creatures we saw during each day..

Amazing trip on Calico Jack
I had an amazing time at Komodo – good condition and quantity of marine life. 6 days flew away in a blink of an eye. The crews on board were so friendly. They made I had the best and most memorable dive experience and always prepared and helped to have a pleasant dive. Food is so good and was cooked fresh on board every day. I took Korean food, but I did not need to eat it. The boat is a unique traditional Indonesian style one. There were very comfortable spaces for rest. Thanks for an amazing, unforgettable diving trip.

A liveaboard you won't soon forget!From start to finish, this trip was an absolute highlight. The food on board was simply fantastic – fresh, varied and lovingly prepared. After each dive, you could look forward to delicious meals or snacks. The crew was very helpful and attentive and the dive guides did a great job. Also the possible activities, such as Love Lagoon, Bird Watching Tour or the Beach Barbecue are definitely recommended. I highly recommend the liveaboard and crew.

Amazing pirate theme Liveaboard in Raja Ampat
The diving in Raja Ampat is obviously top notch, reef manta, wobblegong sharks, cloud of damsels on Melissa’s garden just world-class. But the expeditions of Calico Jack also highlight the amazing geological wonders of karst islands and bird-watching of Papua. Food was good and plenty, dive deck and briefings were well organized. Pirate theme was fun including a jump from the plank with all sails out for beautiful pictures. Crew was super helpful and hospitable, including full gear clean and dry on last day, which is super luxurious in my books. Only downside is the rooms that are pretty small and where you keep pocking yourself on door handles and knocking your head into low ceilings…. Charms of a wooden boat I guess.

Unforgettable experience on Calico Jack
The trip was perfect. The crew was very nice and helpful at every moment. The cabins are small but comfortable. There's a lot of space for the clients on the boat, that it's only for ten people, so you can enjoy a friendly and peaceful atmosphere. The divesites are beautiful and the dive operation is perfect. Five divers with two guides who take care of you. The food was really good and varied. We spent eight great nights there and it was an unforgettable experience.

Very intense experience made possible by friendly staff led by a perfect organisator!
The diving spots, especially in the south in the now catch zones were wonderful, huge fish swarms and the most beautiful coral reefs, unharmed by global warming. The food was delicious, we enjoyed eating, sitting and talking together on the large table. Special thanks to the manager on the boat, to Julie for the perfect organisation and the love to any detail, to the whole very friendly crew, including captain, diving instructors, technician, cook and service staff and last not least to Sam, whose love to chess gave me personally a perfect round-up for the evenings. Worth mentioning also the effort the team did for the barbecue evening on the beach for an unforgettable experience! Highly recommended!
