Cachalo is a 51m phinisi liveaboard operating across some of Indonesia’s most exciting dive destinations, from the islands of Komodo and Alor, east to the Banda Sea and Raja Ampat. Built from ironwood and teak, the vessel accommodates just 18 guests in nine ocean-view, air-conditioned cabins, with plenty of space to ensure the liveaboard retains a more relaxed setting for longer dive itineraries. Diving is supported by two tenders, and Cachalo offers nitrox, rental equipment and onboard camera facilities, plus itineraries and seasonal crossings that give guests the chance to explore spectacular coral reefs, manta sites, current-swept pinnacles, macro habitats and more. For divers looking to experience Indonesia’s exceptional diving in comfort, Cachalo offers an enticing balance of adventure, atmosphere and refined phinisi charm.
