The 30m Ilike is a beautiful phinisi built in Bira - the famous boat building village in South Sulawesi. Completely renovated in 2016 to become a dive liveaboard, this sleek vessel, built to cater to discerning divers, combines the style of a traditional sailing boat with the luxury of a modern yacht. Featuring a spacious dive deck, two tenders and nitrox, Ilike ticks all the boxes for those seeking convenient diving across Indonesia’s top destinations. Every itinerary also includes memorable land-based experiences - from guided treks in search of Komodo dragons, to secluded beaches and adventures in the Forgotten Islands, Ilike and its superb team offer a fantastic, all-round holiday.
The exclusive Ilike offers year-round trips across the Indonesian archipelago to guests with a minimum of 75 dives. Itineraries cover world-famous destinations across this island nation, including Raja Ampat, the Forgotten Islands, Alor, Triton Bay and Komodo National Park. Voyages vary from short, five-night trips to longer 13-night escapes - plenty of time to explore Indonesia’s renowned and remote diving regions.

Between dives, the expansive sun deck fitted with loungers and hammocks is the place to be, and the perfect place to catch the spectacular sunsets with a refreshing beer, cocktail or glass of wine in hand.
