Highlights
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.

Beautiful experience & great diving!
It was one of the best few days! We really enjoyed the helpfulness of the crew. It was truly an eat, dive & sleep experience. We saw manta rays, eagle rays, sharks, plenty of turtles, and a beautiful healthy coral reef.

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!

Incredible experience on Jaya
I spent a week on Jaya, it was amazing! I was lucky as there was only 10 out 14 people in this trip which allowed me having a room to myself. Not sure if Id feel the same way if i had to share the room with another person as they are quite tiny. I also loved the food overall great diversity and taste.. the cook even prepared a bday cake on my bday on board. Lastly, the dive crew was super nice, attentive and knowledgeable. They gave us briefings with all the details and helped out whenever we had questions. Rest of the participants were also at similar levels in their diving journeys which made it somehow easier to connect, but also everyone was social and so we played bunch of games and socialised in between dives. Two relatively negative feedback: one is regarding the route. We circled around a very small area in the end, and some of the sites felt like were chosen just to fit enough dives in this small area. There could be a little more diversity in diving sites including wrecks, caves, or other parts of Raja Ampat - regardless of that, what we could observe was incredible including Manta Rays and reef sharks. The second feedback is about charges and fees.. you will need to pay approx 20-25% of the boat cost on board due to gear rental (most of it not included in the original cost), entry fees for marine park, harbour parking cost etc. It felt like some of this cost should have been included in the price but this practice may not be unique to Jaya.. just be aware when you make your finance planning.

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.
