Wonderful experience!
My first liveaboard experience couldn’t have been better! From start to finish, everything exceeded my expectations. The boat was comfortable and well maintained, the crew was outstanding, and every detail was taken care of with professionalism and a genuine smile. A special thanks to Ricky, whose leadership made the whole trip run seamlessly and created such a welcoming atmosphere on board. The diving was simply spectacular. Every dive site offered something unique, with incredible marine life, beautiful reefs, and unforgettable underwater moments. It was truly an experience I’ll always remember. If you’re thinking about diving in Komodo, I highly recommend Situju Cruise. It was the perfect introduction to liveaboard diving, and I can’t wait to come back for another trip

Dive - eat - rest. Repeat.
Wonderful experience aboard the Situju 7. The dive masters were very knowledgeable. It was only us and another couple on the boat - so really felt exclusive. Saw a lot of great animals. Food & service were good. We had some issues with the dingy, but those didn't affect us too bad. The dive masters could've been a bit more engaging and excited, but it was mostly just dive, eat, rest, and repeat.

Good Mix of Diving and Cruising
We had an amazing time on the Situju7. The diving was as good as expected, with mostly healthy reefs and incredibly diverse marine life. Also, two excellent manta dives and plenty of sharks. This is a very laid-back experience with fewer dives than many liveaboards (just 2-3 per day) but lots of time to relax on the boat and enjoy the scenery. Snacks and beer on the top deck for sunset was a daily ritual and there were just enough excursions to mix things up a bit (Piaynemo viewpoint, a beach, snorkelling, lagoon trip). It isn't a luxurious boat but it was still very comfortable (A/C and showers in every room) and excellent value compared to many of the trips in this area.

Great Crew and Spacious
The Raja Ampat tour on Situju was a great trip overall. The crew and dive masters were excellent- Vighy ran the boat and dive planning very well, Ricky was knowledgeable and friendly with all the guests and Manu’s local expertise combined to make a fantastic dive team. The boat crew are all super helpful and good was filling. While the Situju 7 is a little less luxurious than some of the other operators, the small number of guests relative to the size of the boat makes for a comfortable experience above deck. Our trip was great value for money and I would go again with Situju on another trip.

So happy we chose situju7!
We did the 6N/7D liveaboard in Raja Ampat, and it was absolutely incredible. We were a little nervous as we're fairly newly certified divers but we felt safe and taken care of with Vhigy and Manu and all the dive spots were magical. The reefs in Raja Ampat are so alive with so so many fish, mantas, sharks, and macro life. The food was really great, crew super friendly and accommodating. We really enjoyed the Bali suite with plenty of windows and amazing sunsets from our huge private deck. The excursions were also so much fun - to the Piaynemo viewpoint, jellyfish lagoon, and to see the red birds of paradise. The only caveat is that they didn't always follow the schedule they told us and communications could've been a bit clearer but that didn't really impact our positive experience.

Incredible Diving, Great Crew – Some Comfort Trade-Offs
Here’s your revised 4-star review: ⸻ We recently did a 7-day liveaboard trip in Raja Ampat on the Situju 7, and overall it was a great experience with a few notable downsides. First, the positives: the diving was absolutely incredible. Raja Ampat truly lives up to its reputation, with stunning reefs, amazing marine life, and unforgettable dive sites. The crew was fantastic – very friendly, attentive, and always doing their best to make everyone feel comfortable. The food on board was also a big highlight: delicious, varied, and more than enough throughout the trip. That said, there are some areas that need improvement. The condition of the cabins was not ideal – there was a noticeable smell of diesel and sewage, which made it less comfortable than expected. We also encountered a few cockroaches on board, which shouldn’t happen at this price point. Additionally, the generator noise was quite loud and could be heard 24/7, which made it harder to fully relax, especially at night. Overall, despite these issues, we had an amazing time thanks to the world-class diving, great crew, and excellent food. With some improvements to maintenance, cleanliness, and noise levels, this could easily be a 5-star experience.

Great diving with a good group of people. Boat has a few issues
Overall a really good diving week aboard Situju7, with a lovely group of people. Raja Ampat really delivered on its promises thanks to good dive guides, especially Manu who made every effort to find multiple pygmy seashorses and other tiny critters. Diving gear was adequate. Food was okay and the boat was clean though we had smells of diesel fumes in our room (Sumba) on several nights and the AC was a bit tempremental and not that cold.

An unforgettable liveaboard experience with incredible diving, a wonderful crew, great food, and a beautiful atmosphere that already has us planning our next trip.
Overall, the experience was truly wonderful and memorable. We had an amazing group onboard, from the crew members to the other passengers, which made the trip even more special. The dive sites were absolutely beautiful, and the dive guides were fantastic. They were incredibly skilled at spotting interesting marine life (and some of the smallest nudibranchs I've ever seen!). The food was also much better than expected, with plenty of variety and options for different tastes and dietary preferences. There was usually a vegetarian option along with two additional protein choices at each meal. If I could change one small thing, I would have loved a bit more water pressure in the shower. But honestly, when you’re living on a beautiful boat in such a picturesque location, it’s hard to complain about much at all. My husband and I are already talking about booking another liveaboard trip, and we would absolutely choose this same boat again to explore Raja Ampat.

Top live aboard I've sailed with
Such a wonderful time. Ito and Vigi were phenomenal. I had our 6ur old with us and the crew was so accommodating. We didn't and would never ask anyone watch him so we swapped dives so we could stay with him. That said, the crew would still play with him and even let him steer the small dingy during our snorkeling. I hope I get to sail with them again in the future. 1000/10 recommend.

Great experience
First of all, it should be said that it was our first liveaboard liveaboard and therefore we cannot compare. Overall, we liked it very much. The boat was really nice. We were able to sleep well in our bed below deck. The food was great, I got delicious vegetarian alternatives on request. The highlight was of course the diving and we explored great dive spots and were always in the best hands of the guides. The equipment (we borrowed everything except masks) was also good.Small adjustments to the daily routines / spots were also possible in consultation between guides and group. The crew was very nice overall (even though only the 3 guides spoke English) and the trips to lagoons and islands were a great change.

Very disappointing and poor value for money
We expected this liveaboard to be one of the highlights of our trip to Indonesia. Unfortunately, it became our biggest disappointment, and we decided to leave before the trip ended. At this price point, we expected a completely different standard. Our Premium Cabin had no curtains, so we woke around 5:30 every morning. The bed linen was old and heavily stained, the balcony cushions extremely worn, and the water pressure was so poor that we simply could not wash our hair. There was also considerable noise from the generator, something other reviewers have mentioned as well. The poor maintenance became even more obvious during heavy rain. Rusty pipes leaked water directly over our bed, while several other cabins were seriously flooded. Some guests returned to completely wet beds and soaked suitcases. The food was equally disappointing. Lunch and dinner were generally the same basic selection: overcooked white rice, some unidentifiable fried food, boiled vegetables and dry chicken or kebab-like meat. I genuinely wish I had taken a photo to upload with this review. We eat at good restaurants regularly and know good food, and in our opinion this was closer to the level of spaghetti with ketchup than what you would expect on a premium-priced liveaboard. Another important point for anyone considering this trip: do not assume that being on a liveaboard means you will travel further, reach more remote areas or see more than you can on day trips. In reality, we were sailing around the same waters and visiting the same general areas as the day-trip boats – just at a much slower pace. We actually felt we had a greater advantage staying at Komodo Resort. Because the resort is located on an island much further out, you already have a head start compared with the boats travelling all the way from Labuan Bajo each morning. For us, this felt more advantageous than being on the liveaboard. And we experienced considerably more on our resort day trips. We visited Komodo Island and saw Komodo dragons, visited Pink Beach and Padar Island, and spent several hours swimming with approximately 14–20 manta rays. On the liveaboard, Pink Beach and Padar Island were skipped despite being included in the advertised itinerary, and they were unable to find manta rays. We were told it was not manta season, which was difficult to understand considering we had just spent hours swimming with them and have around 20 GoPro videos of those encounters. We understand that weather and sea conditions can require itinerary changes. However, the programme we actually received was far from the one we believed we had purchased, something other reviewers have also pointed out. One genuine positive was our snorkeling guide, who was excellent – knowledgeable, enthusiastic and exceptionally good at spotting marine life. Having a dedicated snorkeling guide was a great concept. Ultimately, the biggest problem is value for money. Before the liveaboard, we stayed at Komodo Resort and Katamaran Hotel for approximately one-third of the daily price, with excellent accommodation, much better food and day trips where we actually experienced more. Had the liveaboard cost half, or one-third, of what we paid, our assessment would have been very different. At the price charged, however, the standard simply did not come close to our expectations. What we expected to be the highlight of our Indonesia trip became its biggest disappointment. We hope this review can help other travellers make an informed decision before spending such a significant amount of money and potentially ending up as disappointed as we were.

Underwater wow, but above water average
The underwater world of Raja Ampat is beautiful, the water is clear & warm and the marine life is glorious. The live aboard idea is great, but the reality is noisier, dirtier and less tantalising than we’d hoped. Everything was adequate and nothing was extraordinary. The crew did their best with the basic provisions and training provided and were (for the most part) friendly and helpful.

The father a daughter who had the on-deck cabin really struggled with diesel fumes and smoke from the generators coming into their cabin.
