Frequently Asked Questions About Phinisi Cruises Sea Safari
Where do most sailings embark and disembark?
Phinisi Cruises Sea Safari keeps things streamlined ashore so the focus stays in the water. In Indonesia, departures often leave from Ambon Island, Bitung, Kalabahi, Kendari, Labuan Bajo, Lembeh Strait, Manokwari, Maumere, Monokwari, Port of Alor, Port of Sorong, Pulau Biak, Ternate, and Wangi Wangi and trips typically conclude in Ambon Island, Bitung, Kalabahi, Kendari, Labuan Bajo, Lembeh Strait, Manokwari, Maumere, Port of Alor, Port of Sorong, Ternate, and Wangi Wangi. Routes can shift with the season.
What experience level suits these routes?
The sweet spot is Open Water (or equivalent) with ~20 logged dives. Expect a spectrum from unhurried reef meanders to livelier drifts, all paced so you settle in before the tempo picks up.
What’s the standard guest‑to‑guide ratio under water?
Typically about 4:1, flexed if currents perk up, so briefings land and descents stay unhurried.—a pattern that works well on Indonesia routes out of Ambon Island.

Overall great experience
The vessel is comfortable for life a board for the week. Friendly and helpful crew always willing to take care of the passengers. The cabin was big and comfortable. The beds were side by side rather than bunks, which was a plus. The strap of my mask broke and the crew went above and beyond to fix it, assuring my trip was not ruined. The guides are knowledgeable and they looked after us at all times above and underwater. Food was good, but a little repetitive. The fish dish that was called the catch of the day was served every day, but it was fresh and well cooked. .

This was my first Liveaboard experience and I loved it. The boat is great, well maintained and clean with good cabins. Service was excellent - I felt we were well looked after during our whole stay. I am vegetarian and the crew and chef did a great job of catering to my dietary needs. Overall an excellent trip!
