A beautiful and very comfortable boat
Everything from start to finish was excellent- from quality of rental equipment to the lovely post dive drinks (juices or teas depending on weather). The crew were super nice and so helpful. Food was plentiful and excellent - bowls of fresh fruit available all the time.

Marvelous diving, friendly and competent crew, pretty boat, and surprisingly good food!
Our nine-night itinerary allowed more diving and relaxation than typical seven-night trips. The boat schedule was good, with dives at 7:00, 11:00, and 15:00. We found many fantastic macro creatures during daytime dives, including pygmy seahorses, and both night dives were outstanding. A few dives had higher current, which challenged some on our boat, and the water was a bit colder in the southern part of Komodo National Park - we were happy to have brought 5 mm wetsuits in addition to our thinner ones. The two land adventures were fun, as were the mealtimes, including special steak night, burger lunch, and hot pot dinner. The best part was the super-friendly and competent crew, especially our dive guide Pablo and the hilarious cruise director Tony. It was absolutely worth it - highly recommended!

Great Liveaboard in Raja Ampat
The Diving in Misool and Central Raja Ampat was world class! We saw a lot of different marine life and very healthy corals. Staff of Raja Laut was amazing and the customer service was great from the start to the end. The boat was really nice and sturdy, even when the seas were rough. Cabins were a bit small but very fuctional. I was lucky and had my own cabin, because the boat wasn't full. Overall incredible liveaboard.

The best boat, the best crew, the best diving
It was too good to be true :) Starting with the overwhelming underwater world and ending with every single detail of the trip - everything was unforgettable. The organization of all processes, timing, and crew coordination was at a superb level. As for the boat, I got a twin cabin all to myself at no extra charge (because there were only 11 guests in total). The cabin was very cozy and clean. Despite Raja Laut being a wooden phinisi, and even though my cabin was next to the engine room (and I’m a light sleeper), it was not too noisy for me. I actually loved having only 11 guests on board. It felt much cozier and friendlier that way - more like one team. The food was amazing: very tasty, with a great variety of choices. I have a meat allergy, and it was never a problem. We had 3 land excursions and 22 dives (+1 bonus dive), including one night dive. Personally, I would have loved even more night dives, because the reef life in Raja Ampat at night is even more fascinating. The only slight challenge was sleeping in the equatorial heat if you’re not comfortable sleeping with the air conditioning on. Overall, I’m very glad I chose the Raja Laut boat and the Emperor Divers team. It was the best trip of my life. Thank you!

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!
