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.

Fantastic clean new liveaboard
The night dives were amazing and one of the dive guides was really good at pointing out interesting critters. Little side excursions were perfect and Holger was very flexible with taking the small boat to snorkel sites. Crew is good and polite, great with taking care of all your gear.

Paradise above and below the surface.
Everything. This is the second time that we have used this operator once in Komodo and now Raja Ampat. They are so attentive to your needs and wants. Their attention to detail is incredible for example from the first check dive they notice exactly how i like my BCD set up then each time is was perfect for me. The food through out the trip is always off the charts it was mix of local delights and a few western favorites thrown in there (like French Fries or Chips). Our Dive Guide was awesome he was super familiar with dive sites, currents, and read the conditions very well. He was also super knowledgeable when it came to Fish and Creature ID. I highly recommend the Mari and plan to do more trips on the BEAUTIFUL boat in the future.

Great overall experience
The variety in marine life (several species of sharks, manta, lots of fish, sea turtles and more!) was amazing! Although both the staff and the other guests could be more aware of the marine environment when diving. The boat was nice and the food was delicious. Overall great experience!

Super nice dive trip!
Manta Rays, reef sharks, turtles and sooo many fishes!! Land excursions to beautiful view points. Yummy breakfast after the morning dive and always changing varieties of lunch and dinner even for veg. Nice places on the boat to hang out, especially the sun deck. Cabins very clean and comfortable with air con for hit times in the day and hot shower, very nice after a long exhausting dive! Whole schedule in time, Airport transfer no Problem!

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!
