Wellenreng

Six guests, one Phinisi

The Wellenreng is a luxury Phinisi liveaboard built for a small crowd. With just 3 cabins for up to 6 guests, plus a nearly 1:1 crew-to-guest ratio, this is diving without the queue at the dive deck — a 25-metre boat, custom built for diving, that never feels crowded.

Itineraries are tailored across Indonesia, sailing Komodo, the Forgotten Islands, the Banda Sea, Raja Ampat and the Dampier Strait. The 6-night round-trip from Labuan Bajo offers approximately 15 dives across Central and North Komodo, mixing coral gardens, manta cleaning stations and drift dives at high-energy sites like Batu Bolong, Castle Rock and The Cauldron. Expect excellent visibility, dense fish life, reef sharks, trevallies and frequent manta encounters. Advanced Open Water with 30 minimum logged dives is required.

Between dives there are scenic hikes at Padar and Gili Lawa viewpoints, a visit to Pink Beach, and kayaking in remote waters. On board: Nitrox, a shaded diving area, sidemount, a camera station with separate rinse, en-suite bathrooms, aircon cabins, gourmet cuisine, an indoor saloon with a library, an observation deck — and free Starlink internet.
