Mari is a traditional Indonesian phinisi liveaboard designed for dive-focused journeys across Indonesia’s most biodiverse marine regions. The boat operates year-round in destinations including Raja Ampat, Triton Bay, Banda Sea, Forgotten Islands, Halmahera, Komodo, Flores, Alor, Maluku, Bali, and Sulawesi. Its core appeal is simple: small-group diving, generous shared spaces, experienced guiding, and access to remote underwater landscapes in the Coral Triangle.
Mari is a wooden Indonesian phinisi built for liveaboard dive travel across remote Indonesian waters. The boat combines classic maritime character with practical comfort, giving divers space to prepare, rest, dine, and enjoy the views between dives. Its concept is built around low guest numbers, comfort, and personal service, making it especially suitable for divers who prefer a more intimate liveaboard atmosphere.
Life onboard Mari is relaxed and social, with open-air dining, panoramic lounge areas, sun decks, and sunset-friendly deck spaces. Meals are described as fresh, healthy, and varied, with dining designed around the rhythm of dive days and scenic cruising through Indonesia’s islands.
Mari is best suited to certified divers seeking multi-day exploration in remote marine regions. Trips typically focus on underwater encounters, reef systems, pelagic life, macro subjects, and occasional cultural or island visits. Non-divers and families may also enjoy the boat’s spacious layout and scenic routes, but the main travel style remains dive-led expedition cruising.
Mari cruises through some of Indonesia’s richest marine areas, including Raja Ampat, Triton Bay, Banda Sea, Forgotten Islands, Halmahera, Komodo, Alor, and Maluku. These regions sit within the Coral Triangle, known for exceptional coral diversity, reef fish, turtles, manta rays, reef sharks, pygmy seahorses, whale sharks, and large schools of fish.
