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.

Great diving trip on the Mari
The diving trip on the Mari met our expectations all around. The boat and especially our cabin was great - we had enough space. The team took care of us so well, whether it was about the dive trips, our equipment, service, food, drink, we were well taken care of. Of course, the dive trip and the dive sites themselves were great too. We were totally impressed by the coral gardens and the biodiversity. Anytime again!

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.

Perfect liveaboard in Raja Ampat at great value for money
The service and flexibility of the guides and crew were very good. This made the safari on the Mari a great experience. The boat has solid equipment with air conditioning as well as hot showers in every room.There was only Indonesian cuisine for food, but that was okay because there was something for everyone. We would love to come back again!
