The Emperor Raja Laut liveaboard is a schooner of 100 feet that will surprise you with its cruise in Indonesian waters. Built on the model of the traditional 19th-century Baltic trader, this elegant vessel brings classic craftsmanship together with modern comfort. The teak deck is spacious and offers enough room for sunbathing or relaxing in the shade to enjoy stunning landscapes around Komodo, Raja Ampat, and the Banda Islands.

It comfortably caters to 12 guests and has six air-conditioned cabins with en-suite bathrooms, hot showers, and electric toilets. The cabins are made of rich timber, hence offering a cozy and welcoming feel, while headroom is liberal, ranging from 2.05 to 2.15 meters. Three cabins have queen-sized beds, while another three have bunk beds; hence, couples or small groups will find this plethora of options very convenient.

Above, the social areas of the vessel include a large main saloon that boasts comfortable U-shaped seating, a 32" flat-screen TV, and an internet access point. Outside, guests can enjoy al fresco dining on the teak deck under a large awning, with food prepared by the onboard chef to ensure a very relaxed and pleasant dining experience with views out to the open sea.

This liveaboard is equipped with all diving equipment, making it possible to take guests on a journey to the most colored underwater landscapes in Indonesia. Komodo and Raja Ampat dive sites promise a variety of marine life, from colored coral reefs to rare species. Accordingly, those guests who do not want to be limited by diving only can enjoy such options as kayaking, water-skiing, snorkeling, and fishing aboard this vessel, thus having plenty of options for both relaxation and fun.

Guests could also enjoy beach barbecues, cultural visits, and trekking through the islands for some scenic beauty of Indonesia. Be it exploring the rich marine life of the region or the tranquility on the yacht, this is a bar that provides a very special vacation

Raja Ampat 14-21march 2018
Had an amazing week on the boat. Being a girl traveling on my own I could not have felt more comfortable. Everyone working on the boat was absolutely amazing and could not do enough for us. They really went above and beyond. The boat was immaculate and the food was delicious. Being a vegetarian the chef made sure to make me such delicious alternatives to meat. The rooms were cleaned every morning. I had an absolutely wonderful experience and everyone working on the boat really contributed to that! Really looking forward to doing my next liveaboard. Also divebooker were brilliant to book from. They were very prompt and helpful
