Highlights
A traditional wooden phinisi built in south Sulawesi, the Queenesia liveaboard was custom-built for fantastic dive and adventure cruises in Komodo National Park. Catering to just 8 guests, the Queenesia creates a feeling of comfort in 3 well-equipped cabins. Each room has storage space, charging ports, individually controlled AC, and private en-suite bathrooms. Flexible bedding configuration, which includes a double cabin, a twin cabin, and a quad cabin, is perfect for a small-group charter of family or friends. The large main-deck area is ideal for relaxing in-between activities, enjoying the sea breeze, or taking in the beautiful sunrise or sunset. The onboard cook freshly prepares food customized to guests' tastes. A range of local vegetables, fruit, fresh fish, and a mix of European-inspired and healthy dishes is served.
With flexible itineraries, cruises combine the perfect balance of diving and non-diving activities. Dive with reef sharks, turtles, and manta rays on one day and hike to beautiful viewpoints, walk along pristine beaches, and enjoy island-hopping the next. The large tender makes getting to and from the dive sites nice and easy, and small groups ensure a stress-free dive experience.
Perfect for individuals, couples, family, and friends, the Queenesia is ready and waiting in Komodo. Book online today.

Excellent dives, simple but comfortable!
If you want to experience excellent diving in Komodo with small dive groups, great dive guides, amazing nature and friendly crew than this is the liveaboard for you! We did 17 amazing dives, one dive we were the only boat there and saw 15 manta rays all to ourselves! We came in late November and the weather had turned for the season so we were unable to dive the north west of the island however the crew changed plans and made sure to give us great dives! Ed is a passionate dive master and excellent finding all sorts of creatures! I am a marine biologist/ big fish nerd and he took time identifying species with me after each dive and working out what I wanted to find next! The boat is simple but has whatever you need, we only had 5 people on board which was stellar. I have food allergies and the cook made sure I always had things to eat. An extra bonus is the two treks you do, we always went at a great time when there were not many other people! If you want a luxurious boat and food this isn't the liveaboard for you, but if you want to live the 'eat, sleep, dive, repeat' moto and see incredible nature, be sure to book this trip!

- The dive guide Ed was incredible, he obviously is super passionate about what he does. He spent time finding all the fish I was looking for and we talked about them before and after each dive!. Price is really great for the service and dives that you get. A mix of amazing dive sites with days that you dive 4 times and also a day with 2 dives and some trekking!.

A magical trip with excellent staff
I cannot say enough great things about this trip. The diving was incredible and the schedule was perfectly planned. But what makes this trip so unforgettable was how the staff went above and beyond in every aspect. Above all, they made sure we were safe and cared for. Our gear was perfect, the briefings were clear, the dive masters ensured our safety as well as our fun. I would not have seen 90% of the things I did without Mr. Edmond guiding us. Edmond and Vicky were such amazing guides and had such a great sense of humor. The rest of the staff was unbelievable, the Ryans, Gaspar, Mr. Chef, Captain, everyone was top tier. They made even mundane things enjoyable and had such enthusiasm and passion. I really cannot say enough great things, because every moment was perfect. And in the end the staff did everything they possibly could to make sure we saw a Manta Ray and on our final dive we did! This trip was magical. I would highly recommend.

Outstanding trip
This has probably been one of my best Liveaboards ever due to an incredible dive guide Ed, spotting almost any little critter one could think of, especially on those five stunning night dives during our trip. Though the boat comfort is basic (we were all aware ahead of booking) this trip has been very memorable due to a very friendly and attentive crew, the meals were great, so was the overall experience with perfect timing for all divesites and both land tours - we were the ONLY guests visiting Komodo Island with it's dragons, any other guests had already left the Island !

Great Liveaboard
*Disclaimer - We were upgraded to a larger boat due to maintenance on the boat we booked (but that's already a great indication of the outstanding service this company provided)* It was my first live aboard and I will for sure do another one! Staff and dive guides were outstanding. There was so much food and tea or hot chocolate served after every dive. The dive guides knew the sites super well and were flexible to requests to go early, do a day dive instead of night dive, etc. Overall a 5 star experience and I would highly recommend this company to other divers.

"Welcomeee baaack"
This boat is as no frill as it gets, it truly encapsulates the saying "eat sleep dive repeat". There is nothing fancy about this boat, but that in itself the the charm of Queenesia. This wooden boat gives vintage feels, the staff onboard were spectacular. From the food service to the dive gear assistance, to a simple cheer wishing us a great dive before every dive and a loud cheer after every dive saying "WELCOME BACK" The housekeeping staff Rayan went out of his way to make sure we were well fed or had a glass of water before our dive or a cup of hot milo/ginger tea after the dive. The dive guides were brilliant. They went out of their way to fulfill our requests to the best of their ability. Highly recommend this boat for anyone who wants to "dive" Komodo.
