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.

A simple, no frills liveaboard.
A smooth trip in Komodo NP. Queenesia is a nice boat with lots of room for relaxing and diving alike. The crew were warm & friendly, whilst also being flexible, adapting the itinerary to suit the changing conditions and guest requests. What could’ve made it even better would be a dedicated smoking area, to prevent guests smoking in communal rest areas and more variety with the food.

Great encounters in Komodo and comfortable boat
The trip was great, we were very lucky to see mantas and sharks very close and for a long period of time. We did south Komodo because the north was closed due to the weather in December. Visibility was good. The crew and the other guests made me have an amazing time, we did karaoke at night, snorkel with sharks... The boat is quite big and clean. The rooms are very comfortable. Everything was well organized, also the trekkings.

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!.

Beautiful komodo and fabulous diving experience
A great budget liveaboard. We were well looked after and fed by the crew. The divemasters were very professional and gave thorough briefings before each dive. The cabins were basic but comfortable. The diving was fantastic!

"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.
