There are not many liveaboards which can boast such a rich and varied history as the 39m SY Adelaar. Originally built in Holland over 100 years ago she has sailed throughout Scandinavia, the Baltic, the Mediterranean and the Caribbean. The log book from this period is featured in a museum and Adelaar has the honour of winning the New Zealand Tall Ships Race. When you step on board this boat you know there is history beneath your feet, however this is now a stylish liveaboard, updated with top class modern amenities and stately decor.

Your Komodo trip begins in Bali, eliminating additional internal flights. The competent crew will attend to the 8 guests' every need during your diving cruise. Most importantly, they have sailed these waters for over 2 decades and can recommend the best diving spots to accommodate all divers' experience levels. During your dives you will have the added comfort of having your own Nautilus LifeLine, after your dives the hot water showers on the dive deck are very convenient.

The renovations have resulted in a magnificent schooner with teak panelling, high ceilings and marble en-suite bathrooms. The Adelaar has 3 different cabin types. All are spacious and will meet every expectation, including entertainment that is streamed directly into your cabin. You will have 3,000 movies and 30,000 songs to choose from! You can post photos of your incredible Komodo diving trip on your social media accounts via the free Wi-Fi internet when the liveaboard is in range.

After your night dive, order a special cocktail from bar and witness the magical sunsets while your gourmet meal is prepared by the trained chef. During your Komodo diving trip you will dine under the stars and in the air conditioned saloon. Below decks there is an additional seating area for playing games, browsing the library, or attending to your camera gear.

This is certainly a unique liveaboard where memories will be made to last you a lifetime, or until you return for a second adventure aboard the S/Y Adelaar.

Customer reviews:

"The boat was very nice. Beautifully outfitted, great crew, very attentive. Nice features like expresso machine, hot drinks of varied types after each dive. High energy crew. Very quiet to sleep in. A boat that is best for couples really, the beds are laid out so that sharing with a stranger would be odd and potentially uncomfortable. Lots of room to spread out on board. Good shade. Hot water for showers, like, actually hot!
The divemasters who have lived and worked on this boat for the past 2 years are very experienced and obviously qualified divers, however we found their personalities abrasive. They frequently made jokes about how much they dislike Americans, made jokes about Asian and Chinese guests, and often brought up politics. We were a group of 3 American and have never been greeted with such hostility by a host or someone who is supposed to be welcoming us and having fun. We spoke with them about it after a few days and it did stop but it really set a bad taste. The divemasters also seemed to be annoyed with us frequently. Most requests were met with an eye roll or seemed like we were being trouble.
The diving itself was nothing short of stunning - reefs, fish, critters, and pelagics. 10/10 beautiful. The day trip on Banda Island to see the culture was also a really nice bonus for this trip, we felt like we had a really well rounded experience.
All in all, Adelaar is a great boat, great crew, nice food that can be catered to allergies, and amazing diving. But the divemasters attitudes should be adjusted to be more friendly.
Dive The World provided quick responses and patience with my million questions. I was high maintenance on this booking because we were scrambling to rebook after our original boat cancelled, and was trying to organize 4 people to make a new plan together at the last minute. Phew! Pulled it off with your help, thanks for being so responsive and helpful. I recommend you guys to everyone, you are amazing. " - Chelsea Trinka, United States, 3 November 2023 ...
