Shakti is a 32-meter / 105-foot Indonesian Phinisi that accommodates 10 guests in 6 spacious cabins with individually controlled air-conditioning and en-suite bathrooms. The large dive deck is equipped with individual dive stations, so guests can easily fill their tanks and keep their gear connected throughout the trip. With decades of experience sailing in Raja Ampat waters, the crew of 8 is always on hand to make sure the voyage is memorable. The chef uses the freshest local produce, fish, and seafood to prepare meals that are a mix of Western and Asian cuisine. There is also always fresh fruit, juices, and snacks available throughout the day.

Typical itineraries aboard the Shakti last 8-10 days, but guests can combine the North and South Raja Ampat itineraries into a single 14-day legendary voyage. Guests can charter the entire vessel for groups of 10 passengers and request a customized itinerary. The Southern Raja Ampat itinerary includes overnight passages to and from Misool, giving guests ample time to explore the area's many hidden treasures, from secret limestone tie-offs to ancient rock art and jellyfish lakes. The Shakti’s Northern Raja Ampat itinerary features a variety of snorkel and diving sites and is perfect for exploring the area's breathtaking karst scenery, with its secret caves, tie-offs, and hideaways. The Shakti offers specialised diving, snorkeling and free-diving itineraries as well as whale watching, birdwatching, and other trips perfect for adventure.

Wonderful trip on a smaller boat that shows its age

This was a fantastic trip with wonderful people. The crew is fantastic. The diving was great. The food was really good. They even made me a cake for my birthday. 🎂🙂 Visiting empty, remote island beaches and a village were also wonderful. I have no complaints. It was a perfect trip for me. The con of the boat is that the rooms are quite small. I was lucky to have a cabin to myself so it worked out fine, but if I had needed to share it would have been far too cramped. The lower cabins are quite dark and even smaller! That being said, if you have your own cabin it's perfect. I loved this trip.
