About the Arenui:

The Arenui dive liveaboard is a traditional and magnificent Phinisi, a classic Indonesian wooden sailing vessel, set to explore the majestic underwater world of the Indonesian archipelago. In fact, the Arenui is a work-of-art in itself. Plus, 70% of the wood used to build the Arenui is recycled wood.

Luxuriate in exceptionally spacious cabin, tastefully furnished with exquisite handicrafts from each of the Indonesian provinces. Each cabin, which far surpasses anything one would expect to find on a liveaboard, has a private en-suite bathroom and individually controlled air conditioning. A king-size bed and separate salon area assures our guests' comfort.

We have given the same attention to making our meals extraordinary, from the setting to the décor and choice of dishes. Rather than the typical dive liveaboard buffets, you will be able to choose from our daily a-la-carte menus. We can easily cater to any special dietary needs.

On the Arenui, all amenities, such as a full range of massage and spa treatments, are included with the intent to make you feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible at all times. We believe that this individual service and our personalized touches on board will make your holiday an unforgettable one.

With 22 crew serving a maximum of 16 guests, we aim to make your cruise a truly relaxing and first-class experience!

The whole operation is led by our 2 highly experienced western cruise directors, Jerry and Debbie. Our 3 Indonesian divemasters (Ali, Toby and Wawan) are rated amongst the most knowledgeable in the region.
- Ali was trained for many years by Larry Smith (“the legend” of Indonesian’s diving industry)
- Wawan has spent several years diving Raja Ampat and Komodo
- Toby has an amazing knack for spotting rare critters (famous for being the first to spot the psychedelic frogfish in Ambon Bay)

The Arenui can be your private sanctuary and second home, but one located amidst a constantly changing tropical landscape!
