Akomo Isseki is a 27m long Phinisi-style ‘ketch cutter’, a traditional Indonesian sailing vessel. Hand-crafted from the tropical hardwoods of the forests of Kendari, this ironwood-keeled liveaboard is a celebration of timber!

A maximum of only 8 guests can enjoy the local charm of this Komodo and Raja Ampat liveaboard crewed by 8 staff, meaning all guests on board will receive plenty of personalised service. You can relax in your cabin, in the air-conditioned dining room/saloon area or on the sundeck. The saloon is a good place to unwind, enjoy a beer or soft drink, browse the reading library, or listen to music. You may also, upon request, set up the laptop and TV projector and enjoy a movie or some newly shot underwater footage. If you prefer to be outside you can chill on sun seats on the sundeck, either enjoying the cool of the shaded area or soak up some rays in the tropical sunshine.

When it is dive time you will gear up and prepare your tanks on the spacious dive deck. There are some 20 tanks on board, individual dive stations, and central wooden storage boxes for all your bits and pieces. There is a 6m dive tender for those dives which cannot be done from the dive platform of the mother ship.

Meals are usually enjoyed in the indoor dining area and consist of a variety of freshly-cooked Indonesian and western meals. Fresh bread, freshly caught seafood and beach barbecues all feature among the culinary experiences of a trip on Akomo Isseki. This Indonesian liveaboard, popular among young and budget-conscious travellers, also features kayaking and wake-boarding.
