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!

Absolutely Great
Of course the diving was the highlight. We saw lots of Wobbegon and reef sharks and spent 2 dives at the manta cleaning station with friendly mantas. We swam with swirling schools of a thousand plus fish. I highly recommend the Mari!

- The staff took care of our every need. We didn’t lift or carry any tanks. The Tender Boats were set up with all our gear and we were helped putting it on and off. The food was great and more than we could eat. The Indonesian boat was homey and comfortable.

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.

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!
