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.

Fantastic all around 10 out of 10
A warm, well organized and professional team welcomes you on the Jaya. All you want in a liveaboard you can find with Jaya and their wonderful crew and staff. Special thanks goes to Ed, he is a fantastic dive master and cares about showing you all he can spot on the dive sites, that he knows in and out. The food was excellent 5- star level every single day. The dive sites and routes were well planned. Safety first all the time. Currents were checked before going in and detailed dive briefings I did appreciated a lot. Unforgettable moments when we all saw the bats fly at sunset. Rachel and Erica also helped us plan the perfect Komodo dragon tour, and we were picked up right at the Jaya, with all our big bags beeing transported to the Scuba Republic office in Labuan Bajo. Thanks for all the hard work and organisation in the background. You are the best. I highly recommend the Jaya to anyone looking for a professional liveaboard.

Go there with your eyes closed!
I loved my stay on the Jaya boat! The staff took care of you, always a kind word, smiling and helpful! Thank you! The boat was great, clean and friendly, cleaning was done daily and once a week for the rooms. There wasn't necessarily a lot of room to sunbathe, but the dining area is perfect for taking naps and very comfortable. The Dive masters are very professional and manage everyone's safety very well underwater, I felt very confident. The rooms are all equipped with air conditioning and sockets to charge our devices.

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.

Best liveaboard ever
Nothing bad to say about my experience. Erica and Rachel run a tight ship. Everything is well thought out and organized. Every dive was safe and well planned. This is a budget liveaboard in Komodo but honestly I would go with them again because of how enjoyable of an experience it was with everyone on board.

Just perfect
Simply phenomenal dive guides and crew, and an overall great vibe on board this charming yet perfectly functional old school wooden boat. Good food, esp. breakfasts! Super well-crafted itinerary, including beautiful shore visits. Incredible diving - lots of mantas, sharks, tons of fish, amazing coral. Fun downtime with games, cards, and beer. The perfect holiday, we would happily do it again. And again and again...
