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
Amazing live aboard. I strongly recommend to do it with Mari if you are looking for a really nice experience. All the crew is warm and very kind. The food is great every time and the dice masters really know where to take you. One of the best experiences I have had in my life.

Best crew ever for an amazing dive adventure
Everything was well organized from outside showers on deck to the snacks and the hot ginger tea after the nightdives and the excursions, not to forget the daily cleaning of the cabins. Very knowledgable dive guides for all the difference dive sites, with time for photo sessions under water in the search of the pygmea seahorses etc. Good rental equipment, Air and Nitrox, secure dive procedures. Food was very good and plenty as well. I would dive with Ungke and his crew again anytime. But best of all was the friendly atmosphere on board, smiles and laughter and a good time

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

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 crew, great ship and Raja Ampat delivered great diving...
I was on Mari before and kept a nice souvenir from 7 years ago. The souvenir was confirmed and the crew is different but still absolutely perfect.

Top value for money
We took an 11 day trip to Misool and Dampier. The crew and dive guides led by Ungcke were very friendly and absolutely professional. There were no errors – and if there were, we didn't notice them. The food was also superb. If you order in advance, you get very good vegetarian or vegan food (you get an extra portion of almost every normal dish). Only our cabin (No. 7) was really very very small. On normal days we were able to dive four times (31 dives in 11 days) and visited all known dive sites. We would book our next trip to Raja Ampat with Mari again:)
