The Sea Safari 7 is a spacious Indonesia Phinisi liveaboard with a length of 37.5m and a beam of 11m. Built of ironwood in the traditional Buginese Phinisi style, this luxury schooner can comfortably accommodate up to 28 divers. It specialises on the incredible Komodo National Park, one of the best dive destinations on the planet, and operates short 5 nights cruises from Labuan Bajo.

All the guest cabins have en-suite bathrooms and are twin or double bed on the main and lower decks. There are plenty of areas you can choose to relax in, and enjoy the high quality furnishings and ambience. You may socialise in the one of the 2 air-conditioned saloons. The main deck saloon has an adjoining spacious dining area that is used at meal times or simply for chatting over a coffee. The upper deck saloon is a lounge area with wooden finishings, comfortable sofas and full entertainment facilities. Above this is the sun deck where you can relax in the open-air Jacuzzi, enjoying a bottle of wine, or work on your tan and observe the spectacular scenery of Komodo and Nusa Tenggara.

The kit up area is well proportioned due to the wide beam of the yacht. All diving operations are conducted from the 2 motorised aluminium dive tenders, and nitrox is provided for enriched air-certified divers. Guests may also make use of the ENOS tracking system to ensure the dive guides always know where to find you in-water. Photographers will appreciate the camera table and on-board computer for image editing. Energetic guests can use the onboard sea kayaks to explore the waters.

There are 14 cabins on Sea Safari 7, each with a private bathroom. There are 4 cabins with windows on the main deck - 2 double bed and 2 twin bed, and 10 cabins with portholes on the lower deck - 4 with double beds and 6 with twin bed cabins.

Day 1
A quick transfer from Labuan Bajo Airport to the harbour, where the tender takes you straight to the Sea Safari 7. The crew will welcome onboard you with a fresh fruit juice and the cruise director will explain the boat features in detail, helping to familiarize you with the liveaboard. A video about diving safety will be shown, before heading to the dive deck where you will be asked to set up your dive gear. Your diving adventure will begin after a delicious lunch, with a check dive in a nearby bay. Dinner is served at sunset. A perfect start of your vacation!

Core Days
There are 4 dives per day on most days, with the first dive usually scheduled at 8 am, the second morning dive at 11 am, then an afternoon dive at 3 pm, with the final one always being a night dive, around 6:30 pm.
Expect great muck diving in the Komodo National Park, with some amazing critters like frogfish and ghost pipefish, zebra crabs, rhinopias, blue ringed octopus and countless coloured nudibranchs with crazy names that you can find in the fish books available onboard. The diving in this area is more than about just macro-life though. At some dive sites the presence of manta rays and dolphins are almost guaranteed! These sites are cleaning stations that the oceanic mantas like to visit very often. The safari won't leave you disappointed, with its grey reef sharks, schools of surgeonfish and snappers, giant trevallies, turtles, barracudas, Spanish dancers and other out-at-night critters, plus excellent soft corals can be seen throughout. It will be a blast of colours and emotions.
Lunch and dinner are buffet style in the indoor restaurant, whilst you can choose from a menu what you want to have for breakfast the following morning. You will have the chance to taste Italian, Japanese, Mexican, Chinese, Thai, and of course Indonesian dishes during the tour. Hot soups start your meal and a dessert ends it. Tea, coffee, and mineral water are free flow. Beer and other alcoholic beverages are available.
Please note that there will be only 2 dives on the last full day of the tour. The afternoon will be spent looking for Komodo dragons on Komodo island, escorted by park rangers.
