The Raja Ampat Aggressor is a 30m motor yacht with a thick steel double hull construction and distinctive high bow which tours imperiously around the waters of Raja Ampat, Sangalaki, Halmahera and North Sulawesi. Bringing style to these fabulous Indonesian diving destinations, the crew of 14 will attend to the every need of the maximum 16 guests on board. It is a proud member of the worldwide Aggressor Fleet.

This spacious liveaboard has a roomy, air-conditioned saloon and dining area where guests gather in a relaxed atmosphere to dine, socialise, use the book library and to enjoy the nightly entertainment including educational marine presentations, and movies. There is also a guest email service and free Wi-Fi on a 3G connection, but signal availability is quite limited. Alternative relaxation space is on the covered sun deck with comfortable wrap-around cushioned seating, or the romantic foredeck for stargazing and relaxing. There is also a fully-stocked refreshments corner that has an icemaker and refrigerator.

Guests sleep in 8 cabins all with ensuite bathrooms, all located on the main or upper decks, meaning less noise intrusion from the triple-engine room. All cabins have seaview windows apart from the 2 twin bed main deck cabins (they have large double portholes).

It is in the diving facilities that the Raja Ampat Aggressor really excels. There are multiple places where photographers can take care of their equipment and charging batteries, camera assistance, huge rinse tanks, nitrox, lost diver beacons, plus toilets and showers on the dive deck. Divers are greeted by the staff with a warm towel after each dive. The deck also features a 'whale deck' which slopes down to the waterline and allows easy access to the water and to where the 2 Zodiac dinghies are stored when the boat is underway. The Zodiacs are zippy and have boarding ladders.

Other features include a guest massage service, and there are 14 crew members that attend to guest needs. They are proud of their boat and their excellent reputation. So step on board the sturdy Raja Ampat Aggressor liveaboard and enjoy a comfortable dive cruise in the paradise of Indonesia.

Customer reviews:

Customer rating - Excellent
"The staff were friendly, hardworking and professional. They did everything they could to give us a great trip. The Chef was particularly impressive. I am a fussy eater and I ate everything he prepared. He worked hard to give us varied meals since we do not eat fish, seafood, beef or pork. The ship was clean and the A/C and hot water showers were excellent. " - , Canada, 12 December 2017 ...
