Highlights
A traditional wooden phinisi built in south Sulawesi, the Queenesia liveaboard was custom-built for fantastic dive and adventure cruises in Komodo National Park. Catering to just 8 guests, the Queenesia creates a feeling of comfort in 3 well-equipped cabins. Each room has storage space, charging ports, individually controlled AC, and private en-suite bathrooms. Flexible bedding configuration, which includes a double cabin, a twin cabin, and a quad cabin, is perfect for a small-group charter of family or friends. The large main-deck area is ideal for relaxing in-between activities, enjoying the sea breeze, or taking in the beautiful sunrise or sunset. The onboard cook freshly prepares food customized to guests' tastes. A range of local vegetables, fruit, fresh fish, and a mix of European-inspired and healthy dishes is served.
With flexible itineraries, cruises combine the perfect balance of diving and non-diving activities. Dive with reef sharks, turtles, and manta rays on one day and hike to beautiful viewpoints, walk along pristine beaches, and enjoy island-hopping the next. The large tender makes getting to and from the dive sites nice and easy, and small groups ensure a stress-free dive experience.
Perfect for individuals, couples, family, and friends, the Queenesia is ready and waiting in Komodo. Book online today.

"Welcomeee baaack"
This boat is as no frill as it gets, it truly encapsulates the saying "eat sleep dive repeat". There is nothing fancy about this boat, but that in itself the the charm of Queenesia. This wooden boat gives vintage feels, the staff onboard were spectacular. From the food service to the dive gear assistance, to a simple cheer wishing us a great dive before every dive and a loud cheer after every dive saying "WELCOME BACK" The housekeeping staff Rayan went out of his way to make sure we were well fed or had a glass of water before our dive or a cup of hot milo/ginger tea after the dive. The dive guides were brilliant. They went out of their way to fulfill our requests to the best of their ability. Highly recommend this boat for anyone who wants to "dive" Komodo.

Amazing diving, excellent value
While the boat is not the most comfortable, the diving is excellent and Ed the dive guide was the best we ever had. There is no hot water in the cabin bathroom, but aircon worked fine. During our liveaboard, there were only four guest, us included. If the boat is full, it might get a little cramped. Food was also great. We felt we got amazing value for money, liveaboard is definetely the best way to do Komodo, we had even the popular divesites almost to ourselves, as the boat got there first. We had a crew of 8 who were amazing and so friendly.

great diving, great crew, no frills
this is not a 5 star hotel with 5 star dining. it is great diving with a great dive crew on a budget. accommodations are simple yet comfortable and the food is plentiful but basic. we were lucky to see several manta rays, a couple of dives with sharks and large schools of fish along with many of my favorite nudibranchs. the land excursion to see the Komodo Dragons was great as well.. i was happy to see so much at a cost that was one third the amount charged by some other boats!

Komodo from north to south, to repeat!
Except for one dive that was very rough and with little visibility all the others were very good, special mention to Crystal Rock and Batu Bolong

Great Diving Aboard a No-Frills Boat
My girlfriend and I had a great time on the Queenesia II for a six-day tour of Komodo. The crew was always positive, fun, and friendly, and they always accomodated us as best as they could. The itinerary covered everything you want out of Komodo, including land-based activities like komodo dragon hiking and pink-sand beach. The dive sites were lackluster at times but other times it was some of the best I've experienced. The boat is cozy and charming on deck, although the rooms were sparse at best. But considering how much we paid, overall it was a great value. Shout out to our Cruise Director Ricky, Divemaster Elon, and Gilbert for making it a memorable trip.
