A truly wonderful boat and crew

The Jakare was absolutely faultless from start to finish. Nicolas the cruise director is incredibly professional, accomodating and enthusiastic always giving brilliant dive briefings before each dive and is clearly extremely liked and respected by the crew. We dived with Manssu who was a dab-hand at finding all the hard-to-find critters in Raja Ampat and clearly absolutely loves what he does which is so important in a divemaster. As for the wizzard in the kitchen Chef Burhan, he really made us such delicious meals 3 times a day which were a very good reason to come up from a dive! However this 35m vessel runs and works as beautifully as it does due to a collective effort by all crew members who were all just a brilliant. This was a 10-day Raja Ampat cruise and culminated in an amazing trek through the jungle to see the Red-bird of paradise which is such a unique experience when visiting this region. Look no further!

Audrey und ihr Team sind hochprofessionell, extrem gut organisiert und super freundlich.

Die ganze Reise war eine Aneinanderreihung von Highlights von Pickup bis Dropoff, mit unglaublich grosser, positiver Energie von Audrey und ihrer Crew durchgeführt und für uns zu einem traumhaften und unvergesslichen Erlebnis arrangiert. Wir wünschen ihnen allen das Allerbeste und hoffen, sie werden für ihre herausragenden Leistungen adäquat vergütet. Vielen herzlichen Dank an Audrey und ihre Crew. F&F

Unvergessliche 12-Tage in Raja Ampat

Bei diesem Boot ist man in einer etwas "höheren" Preiskategorie aber es lohnt sich definitiv. Die Crew, das Essen, das Boot selber, der Service, die Führung, usw. ist alles auf dem aller höchsten Level. Habe doch schon einiges an Vergleichsmöglichkeiten aber die 12 Tage auf der Jakaré waren von A - Z einfach nur perfekt :-) Ein ganz grosser Vorteil auf diesem Schiff sind die verschiedenen Möglichkeiten. Man hat immer die Wahl zwischen Tauchen, Schnorcheln und zwischendurch auch Landausflüge. Bei unserer Route waren da Jellyfishlake, verschiedene Aussichtspunkte, Besuch eines Fischerdorfes und Beach-Barbecue dabei. Auch gibt es Kajak und SUP damit man selber die Umgebung geniessen kann. Die Tauchspots werden sehr gut aufeinander und den Wünschen der Gäste abgestimmt. Aufgrund der kleinen Gästezahl ist das Tauchen super entspannt und wir haben während 12 Tage kaum andere Taucher unter Wasser gesehen. Vielen Dank für die unvergessliche Zeit
