Raja Ampat Liveaboard Voyages is the marine exploration division of the Juara Holding Group, a family-owned entity with 15 years of experience in specialized Indonesian tourism. We design private phinisi charters and shared cabin voyages for serious divers seeking to experience Raja Ampat.
The primary advantage of a liveaboard is logistical superiority. A liveaboard moves with you, positioning the vessel directly over the next day's dive locations while you dine or rest.
Logistical Superiority
Land-based resorts are geographically fixed. Our phinisi repositions overnight so you wake anchored over the next dive site — no long boat transfers, no wasted bottom time.
3 to 4 Guided Dives Daily
Including night dives. Complimentary Nitrox (EANx32) for certified divers, 12L aluminum tanks, weights and weight belts — all included in every voyage.
4:1 Diver-to-Guide Ratio
Expert divemaster services led by Dr. Maya Pertiwi (PhD Marine Biology, 4,200+ dives) and Captain Yusuf Hatala with 23 years on these reefs.
Private En-Suite Cabin
Private, air-conditioned cabin with en-suite bathroom. Full board: all meals, snacks and beverages. Round-trip transfers from Sorong (SOQ) airport included.
Recognized Operator
Featured by the Forbes Travel Council and Departures Magazine. Operated under the Juara Holding Group with 15 years in Indonesian tourism.
Three Voyages, One Archipelago
Each itinerary is a starting point — your dive director adjusts dive sites, dive count, and route shifts based on current windows, lunar tides, and species targets.
Field notes from recent voyages — in their own words.
Marcus K., Sydney, Australia
Magic Mountain · December 2023
5.0
"The briefing for Magic Mountain was clinical: descend to 25m, hold the reef hook, and wait. Within five minutes, three oceanic mantas appeared out of the blue, one passing less than two meters overhead."
Sophie L., Paris, France
Phinisi Charter · February 2024
5.0
"Beyond the diving, the service aboard the phinisi was exceptional. The crew anticipated every need, and the food was a highlight — specifically the grilled yellowfin tuna after our final dive at Arborek."
Hiroshi T., Tokyo, Japan
Underwater Photography · November 2023
4.9
"As an underwater photographer, the small guide ratio was critical. His patience and sharp eyes allowed me to get the shot I came for."
