Traditional phinisi experience

The Jaya Phinisi Indonesia offers liveaboard dive trips to Raja Ampat from November to May and Komodo from late June to late September. Raja Ampat itineraries visit some of the best areas in the region, including Arborek Island, Penemu, Kawe, Gam, and Mioskon, with the chance of up to 4 dives per day. In the heart of the Coral Triangle, Raja Ampat should be at the top of any diver's bucket list. Komodo itineraries explore world-class dive sites, and an additional option for Rinca for trekking to see Komodo Dragons. Dive groups are kept small - max 4:1, to ensure everyone gets the best out of their Indonesia liveaboard. The dive deck has space for all divers, plus areas to store fins, masks, and wetsuits. There are also freshwater containers for cameras and torches, and the experienced crew is always on-hand with a smile to help out when needed.

The 23m Jaya caters to 14 guests in 7 cabins on the lower deck. There are 4 twin cabins with 2 shared bathrooms, 2 double ensuite cabins, and 1 double with a single ensuite, all with AC, charging sockets, fresh towels, and bedding. The twin cabins are mixed-gender shared (gender neutral). The upper deck has shaded space for relaxing in-between dives and enjoying the stunning Raja Ampat scenery, and the sun deck is equipped with bean bags.

Join the experienced and friendly crew of the Jaya liveaboard for an unforgettable dive trip to Raja Ampat or Komodo National Park. Book online today.

Go there with your eyes closed!
I loved my stay on the Jaya boat! The staff took care of you, always a kind word, smiling and helpful! Thank you! The boat was great, clean and friendly, cleaning was done daily and once a week for the rooms. There wasn't necessarily a lot of room to sunbathe, but the dining area is perfect for taking naps and very comfortable. The Dive masters are very professional and manage everyone's safety very well underwater, I felt very confident. The rooms are all equipped with air conditioning and sockets to charge our devices.

Coming back asap !!!
Rachel along with Erika are sincere dedicated professionals with a true love for the undersea environment that is infections to their staff and guests . Rajat Ampat speaks for its self ... amazing underseas is an understatement and I have dove in most of the worlds hot spots. On the boat ... food , daily cleaning( I took a day off and witnessed what happens when divers are down , very thorough) assistance to guests diving or not , all very good and I could go on and on... super well run diving machine!!!! Overall Jaya is a good boat but is starting to show signs of required maintenance however as i write this Jaya is heading to a couple months of love in a local boat yard before returning for another season. That being said she is still in fine shape and I would be back tomorrow... For sure my wife and I will be back. Thanks to all the Beautiful People on Jaya in a beautiful place !!!!

Best liveaboard ever
Nothing bad to say about my experience. Erica and Rachel run a tight ship. Everything is well thought out and organized. Every dive was safe and well planned. This is a budget liveaboard in Komodo but honestly I would go with them again because of how enjoyable of an experience it was with everyone on board.

Fantastic experience on Jaya 10/10
I had an incredible experience on Jaya! This is my third liveaboard around this same price range and Jaya was by far the best. The dives, most importantly, were amazing! The dive guides were all wonderful. They were super personable and funny, knowledgeable on the sites and safety oriented. The boat crew was lovely, super happy and positive. Everyone seems to really enjoy their job. I have to mention the food as well - of all the liveaboards I've done, this one had the best food by far. There was great variety, it was always fresh and plentiful. Lastly, the cabins were super cozy with AC, fans and even WiFi onboard. 10/10 experience. I have nothing nevagive to say about this operation.

Amazing experience aboard the Jaya
Spending 7 days aboard the Jaya has been amazing! Not only because of the spectacular landscape and its waters, but also because of the good atmosphere we had on board. Rachel and Erica are great, funny, and approachable. We were lucky enough to do our dives with Eduard, and we really had a great time. He cared a lot about us, he was constantly looking for things and you could tell that he knew the area perfectly.I recommend the experience 100%!

We had an amazing time!
The service provided aboard the Jaya is amazing. All of the crew, the dive masters, etc. are all about taking care of the guests. The boat is well-maintained and has good spaces for relaxing, playing games, etc. The food is absolutely amazing. And of course diving Raja Ampat is a delight and the dive sites were well chosen.

A superb experience!
We had an amazing week on the Jaya. Everything was perfect, the team of dive masters were very professional, passionate and offered us an exceptional quality of diving. The equipment and safety on board and underwater are rigorous, we felt very comfortable throughout our stay. The dive sites are also incredible, the diversity of underwater life is clearly there! The entire crew were very professional and friendly, always ensuring the good atmosphere on the boat. The food is very good, we enjoyed it! The comfort on the boat is basic but still quite up to our expectations. We 100% recommend the Jaya for a Liveaboard in the north of Raja Ampat!
