Neomi Cruise

Neomi is a 47.22-metre ironwood phinisi built in 2018 and run out of Sanur by PT Bahari Indonesia Raya. She was designed by divers, and the layout follows from that: a wide dive deck with individual gear stations, a compressor filling to 200 bar with INT/DIN-compatible tanks, nitrox on board, two dedicated camera stations, and two six-metre aluminium tenders on 50 hp Yamahas so groups can be dropped separately.

What separates her from most dive boats of this size is the space above the waterline. Ten cabins spread across three decks take twenty guests. The main deck carries two jacuzzis, each seating four and adjustable hot or cold, plus an outdoor lounge that opens into an air-conditioned restaurant with a 55-inch screen, touch-screen karaoke, espresso machine and three separate chillers for wine, beer and soft drinks. There is a sun deck above and a guest kitchen with a six-door freezer behind the scenes.

Cabins are graded rather than uniform, which is what makes her workable across budgets. Three lower deck cabins sit at the entry rate. Two middle deck and four upper deck cabins add sea views, private balconies and a 32-inch TV. The master cabin on the upper deck has a private balcony, 42-inch Android TV, mini fridge, private water heater and a bathtub. Beds in nine of the ten cabins convert between twin singles and a two-metre double, so couples, friends and families all fit without reshuffling the boat.

Rates are published per person per night and vary by deck, destination and diving package. For the guaranteed 31 August–5 September 2026 Komodo departure, the lowest non-diving berth is USD 2,275 for five nights. Komodo entrance fees add USD 30 per person per day, bringing the known minimum trip cost to USD 2,455 per person for six days. Middle and upper deck berths start at USD 2,555 including the same park fee. The master is USD 4,950 per room before park fees, or USD 5,310 for two guests including six days of park fees. Taxes and service charges are additional because the operator does not publish their amount; private charter pricing is on request.

She works a seasonal loop rather than one home port: Komodo and Sumbawa out of Labuan Bajo mid-year, Alor from Kalabahi in September, Banda and Ambon through October and November, then Fakfak, Triton Bay, Misool and Raja Ampat from Sorong into the new year. Regular berth bookings require six adult passengers; departures marked Guaranteed on the operator schedule require no minimum. If an unguaranteed departure misses the threshold, the operator says it will notify agents sixty days before departure and refund payments in full.
