    Sea Safari 6 phinisi under sail in Indonesia

    Sea Safari 6

    Thirty published routes including Lucipara and the Forgotten Islands, wider than anything else here

    Cruising Areas

    Raja Ampat

    Raja Ampat is the core of the schedule, out of Sorong, and it splits two ways: Central and North on six to ten-night trips, or the southern run down to Misool on eight and nine-night itineraries. Misool is the harder trip to book on most boats and appears repeatedly here. Expect walls, caverns, drift diving and the full spread of manta, shark and macro life.

    Komodo

    Komodo runs mid-year out of Labuan Bajo on five to seven-night trips. The dive list is the advanced end of the park rather than the postcard version: Castle Rock and Crystal Rock at Gili Lawa Laut, Batu Bolong, Tatawa Kecil, and in the south Cannibal Rock, Yellow Wall, Torpedo Alley and Manta Alley. The Komodo dragon land visit is built into the itinerary.

    Banda Sea

    Out of Ambon, typically seven nights, with separate itineraries running down to Lucipara in the Forgotten Islands. These are remote, low-traffic reefs and the reason the boat carries a 10,000 litre-a-day watermaker. Crossings between Ambon and Sorong or Ambon and Alor also appear on the calendar as diveable repositioning legs.

    Alor

    Alor appears on crossings between Ambon and Labuan Bajo. Colder upwellings, sharper macro and villages along the strait that see very few boats. April to November is the window; September is the month for mola mola.

    Who This Suits

    Suits: divers chasing itinerary variety and remote destinations at a mid-range price. Thirty published routes including Misool, Lucipara and the Forgotten Islands is a far wider spread than the charter boats in this collection offer, and the per-night cost is roughly a third of theirs.

    Worth knowing: the cabin fit-out is better than the price band suggests, with a TV, safe, fridge and bathtub in every room, and the dive setup is properly equipped with ENOS beacons for every diver, nitrox, DIN adaptors and two speedboats.

    Less suited to: anyone wanting a luxury charter feel. She was built in 1999, the saloon is open-air rather than air-conditioned, and reviewers describe her as well maintained but showing her age. The exclusion list is also long, so budget the park fees and extras on top of the headline rate.

    About This Vessel

    Sea Safari 6 is a 36-metre dive phinisi carrying 20 guests in 10 ensuite cabins with a crew of 20. It operates scheduled expeditions through Komodo, Raja Ampat, Misool, the Banda Sea and Alor, generally lasting five to ten nights. The vessel was built from ulin in Batulicin in 1999–2000 and carries a 10,000-litre-per-day watermaker for remote crossings.

    The cabin plan is evenly divided into five pairs: two Upper Deck Double Cabins, two Upper Deck Twin Cabins, two Middle Deck Double Cabins, two Lower Deck Double Cabins and two Lower Deck Twin Cabins. Each cabin sleeps two and includes air conditioning, a private bathroom with bathtub and shower, fan, television, safe, hair dryer and refrigerator.

    Current 2026 pricing for the shortest listed Komodo itinerary is US$2,350 per person in a lower-deck cabin for six days and five nights. The mandatory fuel, transfer and entrance-fee bundle is US$35 per person per night, bringing the normalized minimum to US$2,525 per person. Upper and middle-deck cabins on the same trip start at US$2,550 before the mandatory fee. A three-night private charter is listed from US$4,920 per night; at full 20-guest capacity, including the same mandatory nightly fee, the normalized total is US$16,860.

    Sea Safari 6 is equipped for expedition diving with ENOS diver beacons, available nitrox, a dedicated dive platform, freshwater deck showers, camera work areas and separate rinse tanks. The base trip includes accommodation, meals, snacks, drinking water, tea and coffee, the scheduled diving package, land excursions, naturalist and snorkeling guides, paddleboards, towels and toiletries. Alcohol, soft drinks, nitrox, equipment rental, laundry, Wi-Fi, dive insurance and gratuities are extra.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      How many itineraries does Sea Safari 6 run?

      Thirty are published, covering Komodo, Central and North Raja Ampat, Misool, the Banda Sea, Lucipara and Alor, plus diveable crossings between Sorong, Ambon, Alor and Labuan Bajo. Trips run five to ten nights.

      What is in the cabins?

      All ten have a private bathroom with hot and cold shower and a bathtub, air conditioning, a fan, a TV, wifi, a hair dryer, a safe and a refrigerator. Four are on the upper deck, two on the middle deck and four deluxe cabins below.

      Is nitrox available?

      Yes, 32 per cent EAN, charged as an extra rather than included. DIN adaptors are on board, and every diver is issued an ENOS locator beacon. A nitrox certification course runs around USD 250.

      Are marine park fees included?

      No. Park fees are a required extra at roughly USD 25 to 35 per day, paid separately. The fuel surcharge and VAT, however, are already inside the trip price.

      Can I charter the whole boat?

      Yes, at USD 4,920 per night. The operator applies a minimum of half the boat capacity on charters, so in practice a private booking starts around ten guests.
