Trip of a lifetime I hope to repeat many times!
The crew literally was so fun and friendly, always keeping the vibe super positive! Upon each return to the boat you would be greeted with "Welcome back to the Calico Jack!"

- The crew was so friendly and attentive! Great personalities and many talented musicians.. 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..

Once in a lifetime trip!
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!

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!

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.

Liveaboard of a life time.
The Calico jack is a skillfully handcrafted and stylishly fitted out timber vessel. The rooms, though compact, are very comfortable with twin fans and air-conditioning. If you are very tall, you will quickly learn to bow your head! The carved vaulted ceilings give the feeling of space and there is a small wardrobe, hooks and underbed draws for your gear. Charging shelf and storage behind your pillows,for all your small bits and pieces. A midcharter change of all bedlinen, beach and bath towels was very appreciated. The ensuite is tiny but perfectly doable. It has everything you need. At least you won't slip over in the shower, or fall off the toilet, while underway,the walls will catch you. The communal lounge/meals area is vast. It is where you will take all your meals, dive briefings and relax in your spare time. Spacious enough to separate from the other guests for some alone time. A sun deck up top with bean bags and lounges, is a great way to finish the day with a beer,wine or cocktail in hand. The bar is fully stocked. The diving is amazing,varied and will challenge your skillset. You will leave a better diver than before you came. We saw Manta Rays on 6 out of the first 8 dives in Misool. The coral and marine diversity is the best I've experienced in 37 years of diving. We always felt safe with the dive guides. Their site knowledge and ability to spot even the most camouflaged smallest marine life was incredible. The dive deck is well designed, each guest received their own timber gear box. The crew are magnificent,they take care of all your equipment. You only have to suit up, mask and or camera in hand and they will help you onto the boats in a daisy chain of strong hands. Your gear is waiting,fully set up, fins ready beside it. In reverse, you just take your mask/ camera gear rinse your suit,rinse yourself on the dive deck and go and relax. The food was so much better than I was expecting. The chef and sous chef, are very talented. After just a few days,the crew will know your coffee or tea order, and prepare it the minute you surface for the day. There were always several choices on the table and we never repeated a meal. Cooked breakfasts,family style lunches,homemade snacks in the afternoon ,three course dinners every night. You will not be hungry. The beach BBQ was a truly beautiful experience. The crew went to so much trouble. Lounges,low tables,fairy lights and lanterns. Under a vast starry sky they sang and played guitar. Jay is a very dedicated cruise director, marine biologist and dive guide. His dive briefings are as informative as they are hilarious. Italian by birth, he is very animated in his delivery waving his arms around as he demonstrates the underwater signals for each creature. I laughed every time. Detailed diagrams of each site, what to expect,safety information and expected marine life. I learnt more about biology on this trip than ever before. He even gave up his own down time to review logbook entries and discuss the days sightings. Jay is passionate about protecting the reefs and firm with anyone carelessly damaging it or its inhabitants. You will be matched with divers of a similar skill set and moved around under the watchful eye of jay, if necessary. 'Calico Jack' is my fourth liveaboard and easily the best. They run a very safe, professional comfortable and exciting dive charter. You will not be disappointed,these are incredible memories you'll have forever,save up and go.
