The Seven Seas

The Seven Seas is one of the finest Phinisi liveaboards in Indonesia. This 35 metre boat is modern, spacious and very comfortable yet is owned and operated by diving experts with many years experience of local seas.

There are a variety of comfortable cabins with private bathrooms and excellent power showers, indoor or outdoor dining, kayaks, and plenty of lounging space. With the full range of luxury facilities there are few better liveaboard vacation options than the Seven Seas. Versatility is also the name of the game with some adjoining cabins which are ideal for families. Or you can reserve a private lounging area if you want that extra bit of exclusivity.

The boat is excellent as a diving liveaboard and the Seven Seas runs a Komodo tour schedule for half of the year, between May and October. The schooner can also be chartered privately. You can book yourself a private group trip for an exploratory cruise and cultural tour to anywhere in this region. Even on a scheduled diving cruise you can expect a few island walks and kayak trips, such as on Komodo Island itself. The Banda Islands, Raja Ampat and Flores are also among the Seven Seas' routes and nitrox is free of charge so you can maximise your bottom time in these amazing destinations. Unusually for an Indonesia liveaboard the port and park fees are included in the price.

Days 2-12
The trips to the east of Flores are fast becoming a favourite cruising destination, both for what is above and below the water's surface. World class muck diving, sheer walls, coral reefs and pinnacles hold a great diversity in marine life. Frogfish, various species of octopus, rhinopias, Spanish mackerel, dogtooth and yellowfin tuna are just a small part of what you are about to see. Even massive blue whales and dolphins frequently visit these waters and can be seen from the liveaboard, if you are lucky.
The underwater topography of Komodo is just as different as the marine life you are about to encounter. Coral reefs, but also pinnacles, swim-throughs, caves, sandy bottoms and a countless variety of soft and hard corals. Warm waters at the northern dive sites, while they become cooler once the tour reaches the southern sites, in the Indian Ocean. Mantas, sharks, turtles, dugongs and dolphins can be seen, but also a lot of macro like tiny seahorses, nudibranchs, toadfish and ghost pipefish.
There is plenty of dive time to master your underwater skills as a photographer and as a diver, with a 2nd morning dive followed by a 3rd afternoon dive, and ending the diving day with an incredible night dive that mainly focuses on macro subjects. There will also be a lot of great food! Buffets form the chef-cooked main meals of the day, combining the best of Asian and Western cuisine and using as much fresh produce as he can find available at local markets, including seafood and meat.
Please note that there are only 2 morning dives on the last full day of the trip. The afternoon is spent relaxing while your dive gear dries out and the boat makes its way back to port. A farewell sunset dinner on the top deck and a party with the crew playing local instruments is the perfect way to end an amazing diving safari.

Day 13
The day that should never arrive: the last taste of Seven Seas breakfast then get ready for your transfer to Labuan Bajo airport.

Days 2-5
The underwater topography of Komodo is just as different as the marine life you are about to encounter. Coral reefs, but also pinnacles, swim-throughs, caves, sandy bottoms and a countless variety of soft and hard corals. Warm waters at the northern dive sites, while they become cooler once the tour reaches the southern sites, in the Indian Ocean. Mantas, sharks, turtles, dugongs and dolphins can be seen, but also a lot of macro like tiny seahorses, nudibranchs, toadfish and ghost pipefish.
Plenty of dive time to master your underwater skills as a photographer and as a diver, with a 2nd morning dive followed by a 3rd afternoon dive, and ending the diving day with an incredible night dive that mainly focuses on macro subjects. During dives there will some island visits, but most important there will be a lot of great food! Buffets form the main meals of the day, as the skilled chef combines the best from the Asian and Western cuisine using as much fresh products as he can find available at local markets, including seafood and meats.
Please note that there are only 2 morning dives on the last full day of the trip. The afternoon is spent searching the Komodo dragons while walking on one of the islands of the incredible Komodo National Park. A farewell sunset dinner on the top deck and a party with the crew playing local instruments is just the perfect way to end an amazing diving safari.

Days 2-7
This is a special itinerary for those interested in oceanic cetaceans (whales and dolphins). Join us as we explore the whale corridors of Eastern Indonesia. The voyage will cover the amazingly diverse and scenic Solor-Alor archipelago, east of Flores. Each day, we will be on the look-out for the tall blows of the mysterious pygmy blue whale. Blue whales are the largest animal that has ever lived on Earth and the Alor region has several deep, narrow passages where we can best spot blue whales on their migration path. The Savu Sea is a regional stronghold too for largest toothed whale, the mighty sperm whale. Other cetacean species we expect to encounter are melonheaded whales, Fraser's dolphins, spinner dolphins, pilot whales, and orcas.
A typical day will consist of 2-morning dives/snorkels followed by the afternoon spent at sea attempting to get close encounters with marine mammals. After the afternoon 'whale patrols', there will opportunities for dusk or night dives. The destination offers world class muck diving, sheer walls, coral reefs and pinnacles that hold a great diversity in marine life. Frogfish, various species of octopus, rhinopias, Spanish mackerel, dogtooth and yellowfin tuna are just a small part of what you are about to see. In addition, we will also add several cultural experiences in traditional and coastal villages along the way. So, there will be an amazing array of experiences throughout the expedition.
The Seven Seas offers the ultimate platform for getting the most out of your time here - you’ll wake up in a new, jaw-dropping destination every morning, spend the day scuba diving, visiting villages, sea kayaking, or just taking in each new panorama from the comfort of the upper deck lounge, before sunset drinks and dinner under the stars. There will also be a lot of great food. Buffets form the chef-cooked main meals of the day, combining the best of Asian and Western cuisine and using as much fresh produce as he can find available at local markets, including seafood and meat.
Note that there are only 2 morning dives on the last full day of the trip. The afternoon is spent relaxing while your dive gear dries out and the boat makes its way back to port. A farewell sunset dinner on the top deck and a party with the crew, playing local instruments, is the perfect way to end an amazing diving safari.

Day 8
The day that should never arrive: the final breakfast, then get ready for your transfer back to Maumere airport.
