Highlights
The Ikan Biru can house up to 8 guests. The boat has two guest bathrooms with hot freshwater showers below deck. The onboard chef serves freshly baked bread every morning, which he makes in the fully stocked kitchen. Upon request, the Ikan Biru can cater to specific dietary requests. The spacious upper deck is the perfect place to relax between dives in the daytime. In the evening, it is set up as a comfortable dining area. At night, the comfortable mattresses and bedding make it the perfect spot for guests to keep cool while sleeping under the stars, dreaming of all the incredible wildlife they’ve seen.
Thanks to its one-of-a-kind “hop-on, hop-off” concept, you can board the Ikan Biru for 3-12 nights, allowing you to explore the region as you see fit. Two dayboats are ready to take you to land when you wish to disembark. The Ikan Biru only accepts Advanced Open Water divers, or you can get your AOW certification and other diving courses on board. While aboard the Ikan Biru, you can dive three times a day, sometimes more. This lets you visit the best sites, such as Manta Point and The Cauldron.

Amazing diving, food and atmosphere.
AK, Aphen and the rest of the crew were amazing. It's a small boat limited to 8 guests, which we found very nice and intimate. You sleep on the deck and not in an individual cabin, which, if you don't mind sleeping in an open space with other guests, is really nice and peaceful. The bed was really confortable. Food was amazing! The diving was the best we ever had. Beautiful corals, a lot of action and the currents were really fun!

Best dive experience for solo travelers
This was a fantastic trip and much more enjoyable than the giant lives boards. This is great for solo travelers that don’t need their own room. The food was a nice blend of Indonesia and Western food with a lot of fresh fruit, meat options, and vegetarian options. The dive guides are locals and super friendly and enjoyable as guides and a boat guests. Everyone does a really good job of making your life super easy. Oh, and the dive locations are world class

Amazing and unforgettable
I honestly wonder why the maximum rating is only five stars, because this was a truly flawless trip. I would give it 100 stars if I could. I especially recommend Ikan Biru to solo travellers and couples who enjoy meeting new people. You will find that everyone on board is kind, friendly, and open-hearted. The dive guides were extremely professional and made sure everyone had a great and safe experience. The food was unbelievably good. I genuinely cannot think of a single downside to this boat — not even one. I miss my time on board so much.

Pure happiness on the boat, big thanks to Aplonia, Afhen and the rest of the crew!
I loved our crew, they took such good care of us and made the perfect team. Komodo national park is stunning, so beautiful. The activities were perfectly balanced, active but also time to chill and enjoy. Such a great atmosphere on the boat, I loved every second of it.

Incredible experience for my first liveaboard!
This was my first liveaboard experience and it was incredible! The boat, crew, dive guides, guests, and food all made this a truly memorable and wonderful experience. I would happily do a longer liveaboard with Blue Marlin around Komodo again, the dive sites and whole vibe of the boat, crew, and guests was perfect.
