Lady Denok

The Lady Denok offers a truly memorable way to explore the untouched islands and incredible marine life of Indonesia. You can dive with manta rays, kayak through turquoise lagoons, and laze around on secluded beaches. This 28 metre liveaboard was hand-built in 2016 by the master boat builders of the Konjo tribe in Sulawesi; although a modern yacht, she has the bygone charm of a traditional phinisi.

Up to a maximum of 12 guests per cruise can choose from 7 spacious en-suite cabins with hot running water, air-con and sea-view portholes. These include 2 cabins for solo travellers, and an upper deck Master cabin. The experienced crew of 12 includes a cruise director, certified dive guide and in-house chef. Your safety, comfort and enjoyment is their utmost priority. The galley serves delicious, buffet-style Western and Asian meals in the indoor dining area, and there is a sundeck with daybeds overlooking the ocean. Starlink satellite internet is available on a 'free to use' basis, and there is a TV and video library in the lounge.

Diving operations make use of 2 dive tenders (7.5 and 6.5m long) to visit the sites of Raja Ampat, Komodo and the Forgotten Islands. Divers are split in to small groups of 4, according to their abilities. Nitrox is available. There is a kit up area with shower and bathroom, and a dedicated room for charging cameras, etc. Dive equipment (which is checked before each cruise), snorkels, sea kayaks and paddleboards are available onboard. Snorkellers will be accompanied by one of the crew as a guide and a speed boat will always follow closely.

Lady Denok is elegant in every way but don’t underestimate her power. She has a Yanmar 350 HP engine and is powered by 2 x 33 KVA Yanmar generators. The owners take pride in this well-maintained boat that is a safe and comfortable temporary home for both guests and crew. If you are ready to cruise what is considered the global epicenter of marine biodiversity, the Lady Denok is ready to give you an unforgettable liveaboard experience of adventure as you come and live a slice of heaven in the pristine islands of the Indonesian archipelago.
