Felicia runs shorter trips - 1 to 5 nights around the Komodo National Park and so is ideal for those on a budget or with time constraints. Felicia operates Komodo liveaboard diving charters out of Labuan Bajo and this means that all your time is spent in the park itself without having to dive anywhere en-route.

Felicia is not a fancy boat but it is a well-run and comfortable Phinisi schooner that represents good value-for-money. There is a good sized saloon/dining area which is air-conditioned and also features complimentary internet, television, DVD player and music system for evening entertainment. There is also a sun deck to top up your tan between one incredible Komodo dive and the next. With a maximum of only 12 guests onboard, you won't find yourself fighting for space.

You can choose between double or twin bedded cabins, all located on the lower deck, with air conditioning and private en-suite bathrooms. So if you want to see the best of the Komodo National Park in some comfort, but without having too much cash to blow then Felicia is just the job.

Beyond Komodo, this Indonesia liveaboard operates diving tours around Raja Ampat and the Banda Islands from November to April.

Felicia hosts a maximum of 12 divers in 6 cabins. Of these, 2 are Double cabins and 4 are Twin cabins, all of which are located on the lower deck.

All the cabins have:

Air-conditioning
Portholes
En-suite bathrooms with hot water shower, towels and toiletries
Bathrobe
Bedding
Cabinet, shelves & mirror
24-hour, 220v electricity supply
Fire extinguishers

"We stayed on the Felicia Liveaboard and the service from the crew was excellent. I would rate it a 5 out of 5. The equipment available was not great but it was ok. I needed to rent a wetsuit and they did not have a great variety to choose from. The suit that I ended up choosing was a little bit small but over all was usable.
... The boat crew had someone to meet us at Sorong Airport in the morning to bring us to the boat. We had to wait for a couple of hours for the other guests to arrive but in the meantime the crew helped us to get setup in our cabins and offered us refreshments.
... On the trip itself, the crew looked after all of our needs. They were friendly and very helpful with a good level of English. The food they served was delicious and everyday we ate something different. Overall this was a very good experience and I would strongly consider going on this charter again, not for the comfort of the boat, but because the crew was so good." - Josh Bismanovsky, USA, 14 February 2011 ...
