Boats and Pros: Exceeding Expectations, a Phinisi Story
The Phinisi exceeded expectations and beyond. The attention to every detail of the trip was amazing. My appreciation for the crew is unmeasurable bc they actually care. Fantastic food and no shortage of meals, saw all the marine things one could hope for, the quarters and boat were very comfortable, the rental gear was top notch and felt I was in good hands the entire trip. You know it’s the best when you don’t want to get off the boat. I hope I get another opportunity to dive with Phinisi and crew again someday. Thanks for the memorable experience! 10/10, A+, 5 stars.

Incredible: everything!
Marco the trip leader is a true professional and he and the rest of the staff bend over backwards to make it your best trip ever. The dive sites were good, avoiding the day trip boats very well. The food was out of this world, and the dorms were very comfy with softer beds and cold AC.

Great time all around.
Everything was wonderful start to finish on this liveaboard. The diving was incredible and all the rest of the time we were spoiled with great food, comfortable facilities, and a really helpful, friendly, crew. It was our very first liveaboard and we felt lucky to have such a wonderful time.

Hands down, incredible trip!
An absolutely phenomenal trip!! The best crew (dive masters and deck crew), the captain, and chefs/housekeeping! The boat was the most beautiful on the ocean and the crew (all sides) were phenomenal. The food and snacks were delicious and never ending - something all of us on board were so happy about! The dive crew and dive deckhands made it so we had to worry about absolutely nothing but the dives! I can honestly say, some of the best 5 days of my life were spent aboard the Phinisi!
