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 Experience
We had a wonderful stay on the Mari. Everything was perfect: the welcome and sense of service of the crew, the quality and choice of the different dive sites, the ownership of the boat and the cabins, very comfortable and finally the quality of the tasty and varied food throughout our stay (congratulations to the chef!). A plus: the offer of land excursions when possible.Note that the crew did not hesitate to turn around so that we could admire a magnificent encounter on our return: a Whale!A big thank you to the whole team for this wonderful stay!

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.

Incredible expirience
Everything was just perfect. The staff at Mary boat is amazing. They are very professional. They are very concerned about safety in the dives. The boat have all the facilities to reach the diving points. They choose the best place to dive and during the night they choose safety places to anchor the boat to have a good sleep experience. The chef made this trip an memorably experience. He did so many wonderful and tasty food that I will miss him a lot. I really recomend to choose this boat and the itinerary in Raja Ampat.

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 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!

Exhilarating!
Been diving ~8 yrs, never seen such density of flora and fauna underwater at any location. This is by far my best diving experience. Ranging from the vast expanse of huge and colorful corals at Melissa's garden, to the Manta cleaning stations at Blue Magic and Manta's Ridge where oceanic mantas literally sneak up on you, and the amazing macro life at Kerou channel - it was truly an amazing trip. Definitely the first of many :)

Lots of small stuff as well (nudibranch, metasepia pfefferi,.....) Holger was a great host.
