About This Operator
Calico Jack Charters operates two sister phinisi at the same 30-metre length, yet the boats are designed for different buyers. Calico Jack has five cabins for up to 10 guests and runs scheduled dive expeditions as well as private charters. Anne Bonny has three larger, family-shaped cabins for up to nine and is presented by the operator primarily as an intimate private-charter yacht.
The equal hull length makes cabin count the most useful comparison. Calico Jack divides the vessel across more rooms and is the practical choice for divers buying a berth, couples sharing a longer expedition or a private group that needs five cabins. Anne Bonny gives nearly the same overall platform to fewer rooms, including family-friendly bunk arrangements, which suits one family or a close group that values privacy and flexible days over a fixed dive schedule.
Both sail seasonal Indonesian regions including Komodo and Raja Ampat, with additional eastern routes varying by itinerary. The choice is therefore not a simple upgrade from Calico Jack to Anne Bonny. Calico Jack is the expedition and shared-departure side of the fleet; Anne Bonny is the low-density private-charter side. Route, booking format and cabin layout should be chosen together.

Who Should Book
Calico Jack suits experienced or enthusiastic divers who want a scheduled expedition rhythm, more cabin separation and the option to book by the berth. Anne Bonny suits families and close private groups who want three larger cabins, a lower guest density and an itinerary shaped around them.
Both are dive-capable, but the experience is different. A private family should not choose Calico Jack only because it has more rooms, and a solo diver should not assume Anne Bonny sells a single cabin on every date.
How Booking Works
Use the Calico Jack Charters website to identify the vessel, region and dates. Include the number of adults and children, diver certification, desired activities, cabin needs and whether the request is for a scheduled expedition or private charter.
Confirm the exact boat, embarkation port, trip length, dive package, equipment or Nitrox charges, park fees and payment terms in writing before transfer. Anne Bonny also has a dedicated vessel website, but ownership and fleet management remain connected to Calico Jack Charters.
Payment Terms
Deposit, balance and cancellation conditions can vary with vessel, region and charter format. Request the complete terms attached to the specific quotation and verify the payment recipient before transfer.
