Aliikai Liveaboard

Aliikai is a luxury phinisi yacht, meticulously restored and refitted in 2020 by more than a dozen carpenters in the village of Bulukumba, South Sulawesi, blending traditional Indonesian boat-building with a modern luxury interior. She has seven cabins spread across three decks: two stern master suites with private terraces, two king-bed sea-view cabins on the upper deck, two queen-bed cabins on the lower deck, and a bow cabin with a sofa bed, all with ensuite bathrooms and air conditioning. Onboard facilities include an air-conditioned indoor lounge and dining room, an alfresco outdoor dining area, an upper-deck lounge used for yoga by day and an open-air cinema by night, and a fully equipped dive center with camera room and hot shower. A crew of about 12, including an expedition leader and dedicated chef, runs voyages to Raja Ampat, Komodo, Alor and the Banda Sea, combining diving, snorkeling, kayaking, trekking and birdwatching, with private charters and shared cabin bookings both available.
