As a traditional phinisi, she brings a sailing experience that feels a world away from a modern steel hull — 32.7 metres of timber and rigging, built in 2016, with five cabins and five bathrooms for a nearly 1:1 crew-to-guest ratio.
The dive log reads like a wish list: Manta Point and Manta Alley, Batu Balong, Gili Lawa Darat and Sebayur Kecil, with Raja Ampat, the Dampier Strait and Cenderawasih Bay also on the boat's map. The Labuan Bajo round trip runs five nights with approximately 12 dives in total, and it is open to Open Water divers with no minimum logged dives required. Corals, colourful fish, blue starfish in red and purple, dolphins and whales are your company — and on land, the famous dragon.
Between dives, the shaded dive deck, tenders, rinse hoses and DIN adaptors keep things simple, while air-conditioned seaview cabins with balconies, warm water showers, a library, sun deck and outdoor dining make the surface intervals just as easy. Snorkelling gear is on board, and non-divers are genuinely welcome.
