Calico Jack is an Indonesian phinisi liveaboard built for adventurous travellers who want to explore remote marine regions with comfort, character, and expert dive support. The experience blends serious diving, small-group travel, scenic island cruising, warm hospitality, and relaxed life at sea.
Calico Jack is a handcrafted Indonesian phinisi built in Sulawesi, inspired by traditional maritime craftsmanship and adapted for modern expedition cruising. It is designed for long-range voyages through remote Indonesian waters, especially regions known for world-class coral reefs, marine biodiversity, and adventurous dive routes.
Life onboard follows the rhythm of expedition diving: early starts, guided dive briefings, unhurried surface intervals, communal meals, sunset moments, and relaxed evenings at sea. The atmosphere is warm, social, and informal, with chef-prepared Asian fusion and international cuisine, beach BBQ moments, and personal service from an experienced crew.
Calico Jack is best suited to divers, underwater photographers, and adventurous travellers who enjoy remote places. Diving is the main focus, supported by expert dive leadership and small-group logistics. Non-divers can still enjoy snorkeling, kayaking, paddleboarding, island visits, cultural stops, beach time, and relaxed cruising between destinations.
Calico Jack explores some of Indonesia’s richest marine destinations, including Raja Ampat, Komodo, Banda Sea, Triton Bay, and Cenderawasih Bay. These regions are known for biodiversity, coral reefs, manta encounters, whale sharks, pelagic life, historic islands, remote seascapes, and expedition-style diving within the Coral Triangle.
