Highlights
The beautiful Mari liveaboard is a traditional Indonesian phinisi offering year-round diving trips in Raja Ampat, the Banda Sea, and Komodo National Park. Constructed entirely of ironwood and teak, the 30m Mari was refurbished in 2016 to offer modern furnishings and ample onboard space. She caters to a maximum of 14 guests in 7 cabins, ensuring a more personal experience and plenty of room to relax. There are 3 Deluxe and 4 Superior cabins, each offering individually controlled AC, storage space, and private bathrooms. All cabins are on the main deck, so they are bright and well-ventilated. Common areas include the open-air lounge, bar, and 2 sun decks with loungers. The recent addition of a highly-trained chef onboard means that a wide variety of fresh, healthy, and delicious cuisine will satisfy hungry divers. The al-fresco dining table is the perfect place to enjoy a hearty meal surrounded by stunning Indonesian scenery.
The Mari explores the best of Indonesia's dive sites to offer exciting year-round adventures. Divers can explore Komodo National Park on 4, 5, and 10-night trips from July to October. Divers can expect thrilling diving in the national park at world-famous dive sites such as Manta Alley, Castle Rock, and Crystal Rock, diving with manta rays, sharks, and huge schools of fish. In October, the boat moves to Raja Ampat via Flores & the Maluku until April. Explore one of the most diverse marine environments in the world, with the chance to see everything from pygmy sea-horses to whales. The spacious dive deck with gear storage and individual rinse tanks, large dive tender for getting to and from the dive sites, and the recent addition of nitrox availability ensure a comfortable dive liveaboard.

Amazing trip with lots of color and current
The Mari cruise is amazing. The staff are great and the boat is clean with plenty of outdoor seating. The vessel is able to moor close to many of the dive sites that the trip on the tenders is minutes only. The allow for plenty of time in the water and accommodate requests quickly. The dives themselves were colorful with plenty of wildlife.

40 minutes Manta show under the wather. The food on the ship was very nice. The Dive Master used GPS to find the best diving places. About one Dive Master for four divers.

Amazing Trip 7D/6N Raja Ampat
We had a really nice trip in March 2019. The trip was exactly like the description. The crew was so helpful and friendly. There was a lot of good food at any time. Before every dive there was a good briefing and the divemasters have a lot of experience. We were 11 guests divided into 3 dive groups. We saw the walking sharks, Mantas, a lot of macros and so much more! We really can recommend to dive with Mari in Raja Ampat.

We absolutely loved it!
We just got back from a Misool trip and loved every minute of it! 🤩 The dive sites were spectacular and the cruise director Ungke chose the best sites for us. We also had special requests and he was able to accommodate them all. All the dive guides were wonderful as well, from spotting the tiniest seahorses underwater to helping us above water (especially when jumping off the boat deck into some nice current). Literally everyone on board was friendly and always helpful with whatever we needed - the Mari crew was top notch!! The boat layout itself is very clean and spacious, with lots of space in the cabins and dive deck for all our dive and camera gear. We also appreciated boarding early when we arrived in Sorong, we had our welcome drinks not even 2 ours after the flight landed. 😋 We are already planning our next trip on the Mari!

Adventure Trip
It was a fantastic and long trip… great crew… they gave me a single room without much extra charge, which fine…It was a very rewarding adventure, the boat is rustic but has charms and is well maintained…The food supply was a bit on the scarce side (set menus, no buffet style, sometimes i went to bed a bit hungry- I had a kilo of peanuts as backup that was worth it)Otherwise great spirits on bord, enthusiastic divers , adventurous trip!Loved it
