Highlights
The Jaya Phinisi Indonesia offers liveaboard dive trips to Raja Ampat from November to May and Komodo from late June to late September. Raja Ampat itineraries visit some of the best areas in the region, including Arborek Island, Penemu, Kawe, Gam, and Mioskon, with the chance of up to 4 dives per day. In the heart of the Coral Triangle, Raja Ampat should be at the top of any diver's bucket list. Komodo itineraries explore world-class dive sites, and an additional option for Rinca for trekking to see Komodo Dragons. Dive groups are kept small - max 4:1, to ensure everyone gets the best out of their Indonesia liveaboard. The dive deck has space for all divers, plus areas to store fins, masks, and wetsuits. There are also freshwater containers for cameras and torches, and the experienced crew is always on-hand with a smile to help out when needed.
The 23m Jaya caters to 14 guests in 7 cabins on the lower deck. There are 4 twin cabins with 2 shared bathrooms, 2 double ensuite cabins, and 1 double with a single ensuite, all with AC, charging sockets, fresh towels, and bedding. The twin cabins are mixed-gender shared (gender neutral). The upper deck has shaded space for relaxing in-between dives and enjoying the stunning Raja Ampat scenery, and the sun deck is equipped with bean bags.

Incredible experience on Jaya
I spent a week on Jaya, it was amazing! I was lucky as there was only 10 out 14 people in this trip which allowed me having a room to myself. Not sure if Id feel the same way if i had to share the room with another person as they are quite tiny. I also loved the food overall great diversity and taste.. the cook even prepared a bday cake on my bday on board. Lastly, the dive crew was super nice, attentive and knowledgeable. They gave us briefings with all the details and helped out whenever we had questions. Rest of the participants were also at similar levels in their diving journeys which made it somehow easier to connect, but also everyone was social and so we played bunch of games and socialised in between dives. Two relatively negative feedback: one is regarding the route. We circled around a very small area in the end, and some of the sites felt like were chosen just to fit enough dives in this small area. There could be a little more diversity in diving sites including wrecks, caves, or other parts of Raja Ampat - regardless of that, what we could observe was incredible including Manta Rays and reef sharks. The second feedback is about charges and fees.. you will need to pay approx 20-25% of the boat cost on board due to gear rental (most of it not included in the original cost), entry fees for marine park, harbour parking cost etc. It felt like some of this cost should have been included in the price but this practice may not be unique to Jaya.. just be aware when you make your finance planning.

Incredible liveaboard experience
Our trip aboard Jaya was absolutely incredible. Coming from a several month trip where we had done several other liveaboards on fancier boats we immediately fell in love with Jaya and it went straight to the top of our list. The diving is unparalleled, the boat has incredible charm and the crew are fantastic. I plan to come back and will be trying to convince friends and family to do the same.

A superb experience!
We had an amazing week on the Jaya. Everything was perfect, the team of dive masters were very professional, passionate and offered us an exceptional quality of diving. The equipment and safety on board and underwater are rigorous, we felt very comfortable throughout our stay. The dive sites are also incredible, the diversity of underwater life is clearly there! The entire crew were very professional and friendly, always ensuring the good atmosphere on the boat. The food is very good, we enjoyed it! The comfort on the boat is basic but still quite up to our expectations. We 100% recommend the Jaya for a Liveaboard in the north of Raja Ampat!

Amazing experience aboard the Jaya
Spending 7 days aboard the Jaya has been amazing! Not only because of the spectacular landscape and its waters, but also because of the good atmosphere we had on board. Rachel and Erica are great, funny, and approachable. We were lucky enough to do our dives with Eduard, and we really had a great time. He cared a lot about us, he was constantly looking for things and you could tell that he knew the area perfectly.I recommend the experience 100%!

Unforgettable week in La Jaya
Very good experience aboard La Jaya. We did about 3/4 dives every day, before each one, one of the instructors dived to assess the sea conditions, which we think is very good for safety. In addition, we do not coincide with other groups of divers at the dive sites. The divemasters are great and made us enjoy all the dives. Special thanks to our divemaster Edward. The food is very good and the boat is kept very clean. The whole crew was very friendly and helped us with everything we needed. We 100% recommend this experience in La Jaya.
