Excellent and cozy trip
The trip was great and we had fewer than expected divers on the trip which actually made it more cozy and we got to know each other very well. New friends were made!

Jakare’ was a dive trip of a lifetime!
Dive trip of a lifetime following the lead of our crew director, Audrey and dive master, Sahril. They were very well organized getting us ready for up to 30 dives in 12 days. Special highlight was being visited by a whale shark and hanging out with the manta rays. With only 10 passengers total we have tremendous service from all of the crew and food was amazing. Come hungry because the chef serves lots of food all day! Left the boat with new friends and amazing memories.

Fabulous time on the Jakaré
We had a fabulous 12 days in the Raja Ampat area on the Jakaré liveaboard. We were warmly welcomed by the cruise & dive manager, the incredible Audrey. The crew was amazing, lead by Captain Thalib. They were all helpful, cheerful, adept at all they do--and delightful musicians, as well. The enthusiastic "hello, hello hello!" greeting everytime we returned to the boat from a dive or excursion never got old. Food was delicious and plentiful, and our individual tastes or food needs were met with pleasure. My wife and I booked the lovely cabin at the back and enjoyed views off the stern. We were some of the least experienced divers, and Audrey helped us out by making available, at a good price, a private dive master. Stefan really helped make our dive experiences safe and enjoyable. We loved the Misool area, especially. Can't say enough about how hard Audrey works, and how enjoyable she made our vacation. She's an amazing young woman, and because of her love for diving, we can't wait to explore more dive adventures. In the end, I'd like to give a shout out to Mael at Liveaboard.com who tirelessly answered all our questions, made sure we submitted all required information on time, and suggested to us the private dive master. She was great to work with.

Wonderful trip, amazing crew!
Jakaré is a beautiful boat and Audrey and her crew work tirelessly to ensure everyone has a wonderful time. The rooms and en-suites are large with hot showers 🥳. There’s AC at night and during the day fans to keep you cool. I started my day with coffee and toast before the first dive and there was always a pot of fresh coffee waiting for me. Breakfast after the first dive was substantial, choice of eggs, noodles or rice, fresh fruit etc. Lunch was also substantial with 4 large plates of various meat, fish and vegetarian dishes (all were very good). Dinner a 3 course affair with salad, main and dessert. In short the food was plentiful and really good. And there was a delicious cake everyday at 3ish. Diving was in small groups and despite going to Komodo in high season (July) we generally had the dive sites to ourselves, or there was one other group which was easily avoided. The diving was wonderful and Audrey and crew clearly know the dive sites really well. I absolutely loved my time on Jakaré and would definitely go again! If you’re over 60 you’ll need a signed medical form from a hyperbaric doctor.

Can’t complain about a thing
1. Well organised itinerary. Always entertaining but not exhausting. They have everything for everyone: divers or none divers. 2. High quality food with good variety. Chef and sous-chef were well trained in a French restaurant in Jakarta, and they were so passionate about their food! 3. Very beautiful phinisi. Spacious and beautifully designed rooms and areas for relaxation and mingling. 4. Amazing attention to details. For example the crew washed our shoes after trekking, they always help hang l our clothes and towels and fold them when dry. 5. Wonderful guests that we’ve met on Jakare. Always a bonus to know new and lovely people on a journey.

Unforgettable 12 Days in Raja Ampat
With this boat you are in a slightly "higher" price category, but it is definitely worth it. The crew, the food, the boat itself, the service, the guide, etc. are all at the highest level. I already have a lot of comparison options but the 12 days on the Jakaré were just perfect from A to Z :-)A very big advantage on this ship are the different possibilities. You always have the choice between diving, snorkeling and shore excursions in between. Our route included Jellyfishlake, various viewpoints, a visit to a fishing village and a beach barbecue. There is also kayak and SUP so that you can enjoy the surroundings yourself. The dive sites are very well coordinated with each other and the wishes of the guests. Due to the small number of guests, the diving is super relaxed and we hardly saw any other divers underwater during 12 days.Thank you very much for the unforgettable time
