Designed by divers, for divers, the charming Neomi liveaboard offers everything needed for a luxury dive cruise in Indonesia. Built in 2018, this phinisi combines modernity with old world Indonesian charm - a modern take on the traditional Bugis sailing boat. Made of teak and ironwood, Neomi boasts lovely wood interiors in its indoor cabins and lounging spaces, along with lavish outdoor decks for soaking up the views. If that wasn’t enough, two Jacuzzis and an elegant sun deck complete the picture of your perfect liveaboard trip.

Photographers will be spoiled on board this vessel, with a well-equipped camera room and nitrox – ideal for hunting rare macro critters, exotic fish species, sharks, mantas and other large pelagics. Dive cruises aboard the Neomi visit some of Indonesia’s most biodiverse destinations, such as Raja Ampat, Ambon, Alor, the Banda Sea and Komodo National Park, while moving with the seasons to offer the best diving conditions throughout the year.

Onboard Neomi

Neomi caters to 22 guests in ten air-conditioned cabins that vary in price and style, with some featuring private balconies. The beautiful main deck has two Jacuzzis and an outdoor seating area perfect for soaking up the ocean views with a post-dive cocktail. Indoors, you’ll find an air-conditioned saloon and restaurant fitted with a 55-inch TV, karaoke machine, fully-stocked bar, espresso machine and a welcoming dining area designed for socialising. Meals include local and international delicacies, and are served buffet-style by the experienced onboard chef. Head to the wide top deck, and you’ll find comfortable loungers for sunbathing or dozing off between dives.
