Highlights
Malaillo is a 45-meter (147-foot) phinisi liveaboard accommodating 14 guests across 7 cabins: 3 doubles and 4 twins, all with private en-suite bathrooms, and individually controlled air conditioning. Spread across 3 decks, the cabins offer ample natural light and sea views, with the master suite on the upper deck. Guests can relax in various social spaces, including a cozy indoor lounge, open-air dining areas, and a large sun deck perfect for soaking up the Indonesian sunshine.
Divers benefit from a dedicated dive deck with personal gear stations, refillable tanks, and easy access to dive tenders. There is also a fully equipped, air-conditioned camera room for underwater photography preparation. Between dives, guests enjoy delicious cuisine served in indoor or al fresco dining areas, and unwind on the hammock deck, in the bow’s chill-out zone, or on a sun lounger with a drink in hand.
The Malaillo offers curated itineraries across Indonesia's legendary dive regions, from the manta-filled waters of Komodo to the macro wonderland of Alor, the remote Banda Sea, and the biodiversity hotspot of Raja Ampat. Trips range from 7 to 13 days with up to 33 dives, and often include land excursions such as cultural encounters in Alor or hikes to stunning viewpoints. Expect encounters with hammerhead sharks, manta rays, sea snakes, reef sharks, and even blue whales—plus unforgettable reefscapes, volcanic islands, and rich local heritage above and below the surface.

Malaillo is a ship that can only inspire every diver.
The wooden ship is a dream, the team keeps the boat in good shape. Diving caters to the needs of the guests. You feel fully cared for all around. Fantastic the drinks after each dive, the food wonderful. Hot chocolate after every night dive, what more could you want. The whole team on board treats every guest with friendliness and after a short time on board you feel like you have arrived in a family. Nature and the environment are looked at, no plastic on board. Just perfect. Anytime again Malaillo!!
