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.

Peaceful in paradise.
The diving was great, but the crew really made this an unforgettable experience. I would name the stand out crew, but really they were all amazing.

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!

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.

We would book the Queenesia again in a heartbeat.
The crew did everything to make it possible for us to have a perfect stay. The selection of diving spots, the guiding under water, the service on board were a dream. The ship is very nice and you have a large covered outdoor area where you can be protected from rain and sun. The food was typical Indonesian cuisine and very tasty and rich. The cabins are basic but have air conditioning. We were able to go on nice hikes on the islands and even do a bit of fishing in the evening.

Excellent!
We thoroughly enjoyed this liveboard. The friendly atmosphere and the crew made us feel special and very safe. The dive guide, Za, is excellent and very attentive, and so was the dive master, Bretske. Vivi overviewed the trip with great professionality and a great sense of humor. We all loved the food selection that Richard cooked for us. Komodo Islands are wonderful for diving, of course, but are also a special place to visit on land. Wonderful sunsets and an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended!

Great Liveaboard
*Disclaimer - We were upgraded to a larger boat due to maintenance on the boat we booked (but that's already a great indication of the outstanding service this company provided)* It was my first live aboard and I will for sure do another one! Staff and dive guides were outstanding. There was so much food and tea or hot chocolate served after every dive. The dive guides knew the sites super well and were flexible to requests to go early, do a day dive instead of night dive, etc. Overall a 5 star experience and I would highly recommend this company to other divers.

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
