Traditional phinisi experience

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.

Join the experienced and friendly crew of the Jaya liveaboard for an unforgettable dive trip to Raja Ampat or Komodo National Park. Book online today.

11 Days Ambon to Waisai
I loved every Minute of those 11 days on the Liveaboard Jaya. What an awesome and experienced team. Would definitely go again. Just to make sure, bathrooms are shared, unless you have a private one in the cabin. There is no nitrox

5 Star Experience
The staff was absolutely amazing!! So knowledgable and personable, they truly made this an all encompassing experience. The boat itself was awesome, big enough to be comfortable, small enough to keep the trip personal. The diving was phenomenal, great marine life, and beautiful dive sites. We will definitely be back on board the Jaya soon!

Can only recommend it.
In general the whole trip was very well organized/executed. The dive guides were very knowledgeable, friendly and focused on safety. The dive sites they choose were amazing and the evaluation of the conditions (and consecutive briefing) was accurate. I loved the boat itself. It has this less commercial, more authentic look and feel. The price (especially given the area) is very reasonable. I can only recommend this trip.

We had an amazing time!
The service provided aboard the Jaya is amazing. All of the crew, the dive masters, etc. are all about taking care of the guests. The boat is well-maintained and has good spaces for relaxing, playing games, etc. The food is absolutely amazing. And of course diving Raja Ampat is a delight and the dive sites were well chosen.

Most of the divers had been on trips with Jaya before
Fantastic time aboard the Jaya, many of the divers were on their second or third trip with the boat which speaks to how good of an experience it is. Great for experiencing Raja Ampat!
