Magic above and below
A diving holiday unforgettable for me with dives, sometimes a bit challenging, in places as remote as they are beautiful. Splendid pearls set in an emerald sea. Wonderful corals in excellent health, for now, refuge for an indescribable amount of fish.

Wonderful diving holidays on a great boat with a brilliant crew
We were only 9 divers on board, a diving group consisted of 3 guests plus a guide. That was great. The whole crew was super friendly and the food great. We had freshly baked bread every morning.Besides the diving area, which was of course fantastic, it was an all-round relaxed and great trip.

Great experience and fantastic diving!
Went on a 12-day trip from Ambon to Sorong and this was a great way to visit a lot of different dive sites! The diving in Raja Ampat is truly amazing. I can highly recommend this boat and the route.

Wonderful experience with Raja Laut
I had a wonderful experience on Raja Laut. The crews were extremely helpful, they were accurate on daily diving plans, providing clear instructions on each dive, very tentative on security and always fast on responding everyone's needs. The food was tremendous considering the fact that the kitchen was tiny, the chief must have tried all he could to serve the guests with good food. Anyone who would love to enjoy a family vibe for a liveaboard trip, I'd highly recommend raja laut.

Wonderful trip on a boat with a lot of charm and comfort and sumptuous dives. Unforgettable 🥰
Wonderful holiday interlude on a dream shooner. Well appointed and comfortable with family (adults). Unforgettable dives on preserved places where an organization and quotas restrict access for the benefit of the underwater fauna and flora but also of the divers🥰. The crew is very well organized. Everything went smoothly, in a good mood, in complete safety and comfort on wonderful places. Congratulations and thank you all. I recommend and will repeat the experience if possible.

Fantastic trip with a great crew
We joined this liveaboard in May and had an unforgettable trip. The crew was absolutely wonderful — kind, attentive, and always making sure everyone was comfortable and well taken care of. The food was excellent, with fresh, delicious meals that somehow got better every day. The boat was clean, well-organized, and thoughtfully run, making life on board easy and relaxing. Our dive guide was a bit quiet at the beginning and didn’t point out much underwater — it seemed like he expected us to explore and find things on our own. But after we shared some feedback, he became much more engaging and started showing us more marine life, which really elevated the experience. The only small downside is that all cabins are below deck, so you do hear the engine when the boat is moving. But that’s part of the liveaboard experience and easily outweighed by everything else that made the trip so special. Overall, a fantastic adventure — great diving, great people, and memories we’ll never forget!

Lovely boat with little guests
Diving in Komodo on this liveaboard was spectacular. It was clean, spacious (despite its smaller size!) with friendly staff. I wish there was more local food on board as opposed to western food, though
