Accommodates: 18 guests and 24 crew

Dewi Nusantara is a schooner-style yacht that harkens back to the golden age of maritime exploration. The cabins, decks, and lounge areas are sleek and classy, with gleaming surfaces of finished wood. She’s a bigger, heavier ship, so she handles the ocean with incredible grace and stability.

Damai I

Style: Phinisi (traditional Indonesian sailing vessel)

Accommodates: 14 guests and 19 crew

What’s unique about this Phinisi-style vessel is the schooner-style stern, which stands tall over the water and gives you exceptional ocean views. With a smaller number of passengers than the average Indonesian liveaboard, you’re really able to unwind in this cozy space that’s infused with traditional maritime flavor.

Damai I carries two dive tenders and features large dive stations, a camera room with individual workspaces, and charging stations for each photographer.

Like her sister vessel, Damai II features a broad sundeck with beautiful ocean views, and her interior spaces are imbued with exquisite wood paneling that’s both traditional and luxurious. She’s slightly larger than her sister and features more lounging space and a blissful spa treatment area.

Damai II features a larger camera room than her sister vessel (it’s wide enough to accommodate very hefty camera rigs) and she carries two dive tenders.

Almost identical to her sister, the Blue Manta.

Mermaid II

Style: Modern Steel Yacht

Length: 104 feet

Mermaid II is a smaller-size yacht that benefits from having an intimate feel — it’s a great vessel for smaller or close-knit groups. The salon, dining room, and lounge areas are cozy and well-furnished, with a great menu and attentive staff.

Since the yacht is smaller and easily maneuverable, you’re able to dive directly off the Mermaid II — there’s no need for dive tenders, and two dive ladders make for an easy exit. The dive deck has plenty of rinse tanks, camera tables, and storage compartments for your gear.

Voyages: Bali, Nusa Tenggara, Banda Sea, Raja Ampat, North Sulawesi

Samambaia

Style: Phinisi (traditional Indonesian sailing vessel)

Length: 137 feet

Accommodates: 14 guests and 22 crew

Samambaia is a beautiful vessel, with the shape, sails, and style that evokes both luxury and local elegance. On many liveaboards, the “sailing vibe” is often lost in the modern creature comforts, but this ship delivers both the creature comforts and an atmosphere of adventure.

Samambaia carries two dive tenders and there’s an indoor camera room. The yacht has a memorable dive deck; it’s like you’re gearing up on the deck of a pirate ship.
