Highlights
Bajak is a newly renovated boat that brings forth a pirate-like atmosphere while maintaining modern-day comforts for 14 guests. The living space consists of 4 air-conditioned cabins: 1 master cabin with a double bed and an en-suite bathroom, and 3 shared cabins with 4 bunk beds and 2 shared bathrooms. Made mostly from ironwood and teakwood salvaged from decommissioned boats, the Bajak operates as a liveaboard boat in the beautiful setting of the Komodo National Park and offers access to one of the richest marine environments in the world, including stunning coral reefs, seagrass beds, seamounts, pinnacles, dramatic walls, overhangs, semi-enclosed bays, and Komodo Dragons.
The exterior features a spacious, shaded deck ideal for dive preparation, as well as an unshaded rooftop equipped with comfortable bean bags and sun mattresses, perfect for tanning and relaxation. The dining table is set right in the open galley. Additionally, there is a furnished undercover space primed for relaxing and keeping cool.
The itineraries can be set to meet everyone’s picture of a perfect holiday. Complementary to diving are surfing, sailing, snorkeling, and stand-up paddleboarding. Guided walks on the local islands are also possible, allowing one to see the notorious Komodo dragon. Komodo offers some of the best diving in the world, with dive sites such as Manta Point, Batu Balong, and Batu Tiga. The reserve is teeming with diversity. Dugongs, manta rays, white-tip reef sharks, and hawksbill turtles are just a few residents. There is also the option to do your advanced diving course on-site.

Amazing experience
One of the best experiences I’ve ever had. The trip was fantastic, and Komodo National Park is beautiful, both above and below the surface. The organization was flawless, and the company among the best I’ve ever experienced. If I were to return to Komodo, I would have absolutely no doubts about who to trust for diving again. Thank you so much.

Great trip through Komodo
Great trip on Bajak, great guides making sure diving is safe but if wanted also challenging and catering to all different experience levels. Amazing dive sites. Great food and snacks on the boat and super kind and helpful staff. Absolutely loved the trip and would do it again. Rooms are, as shown in pictures. A bit small but beds are comfortable, AC works well.

Best Liveaboard Experience – Scuba Republic Komodo
Just returned from a 4-day liveaboard with Scuba Republic, and I can honestly say it was the best liveaboard I’ve ever been on. From start to finish, everything was smooth, safe, and incredibly well-organized. The crew was exceptional — warm, professional, and always ready to help with a smile. You really feel like you’re in good hands from the moment you step on board. A huge shoutout to my dive guide Engel, who made every dive feel safe, exciting, and special. His knowledge of the dive sites and marine life was impressive — we saw tons of sharks, manta rays, stunning coral gardens, and so much more. The itinerary was perfectly planned, with a great mix of adrenaline-filled dives and relaxed reef exploration. Every dive felt like a highlight. The dive equipment was in excellent condition and perfectly prepared for every single dive — something I really appreciated. The boat was clean, comfortable, with delicious food and plenty of space to relax between dives. 👉 If you’re looking for a liveaboard in Komodo, this is the one to book. It’s simply the best. I’m already dreaming of my next trip with Scuba Republic!

Incredible value, fab diving, helpful crew, lovely boat, tasty food....
This trip surpassed my expectations in every way. I was a little worried to book it as it was such a good price, but I trusted the reviews and I am so beyond pleased that I did. The boat is lovely, it felt like home from the moment we stepped aboard. It is very cute and cosy, but also didn't feel at all cramped, even though my trip was full. There were plenty of places to chill out and either chat, read or just look out to sea and admire the beautiful scenery. The bunk bed was super comfy and felt like I had plenty of room. The diving in Komodo was amazing, I did Raja Ampat last year and would say these dives were more fun and more diverse (maybe slightly less pretty coral formations) The Manta action was out of this world and my dive guide, Robbie, was fab. In fact all the guides were absolutely great. The food was the best I have had on a liveaboard, catering really well to veggies and vegans. All the food was tasty and plentiful. I really cannot say enough good things about this trip and fully intend to come back one day and do it all again!

Intimacy and cute
I recently joined a liveaboard trip in Komodo with Bajak, and honestly it became one of my favorite dive trips so far. If you’re looking for a warm, authentic liveaboard experience rather than a luxury cruise, Bajak is a perfect choice.

Unforgettable Komodo dive adventure.
Sure! Here's a refined version: I recently embarked on a liveaboard trip to Komodo National Park, and it was an unforgettable experience. The journey was filled with exhilarating dives, delicious food, and enjoyable moments on the boat, including games with fellow divers and crew members. Komodo’s dive sites are truly among the best in the world, and having detailed information about each site beforehand is crucial to make the most of every dive. Equally important was the unwavering support of the crew at every step. The combination of these factors made my time on the Bajak an experience well worth it.

Great time at the Bajak liveaboard and Pygmy seahorse!
Just amazing. Can’t recommend it enough. The dive guides did an amazing job. They found just about everything I wanted to see. Helped me spot things and made me feel safe even in strong currents. They handled everything so well. The crew was funny and friendly. They really made sure there were good vibes on the boat. They also helped out so much with the diving gear and made everything run smoothly. I was so worried about the weather since it was rainy season, but we barely got any rain.
