Trip report on KM Gaia Love to Anambas Islands

[patrickkwk]

KM Gaia Love is a new liveaboard built to sail in mainly Komodo and Raja Ampat. Prior to their maiden trip to Komodo, they did run some local trips (from Singapore/Batam) to Pulau Tioman (Malaysia) and Anambas (Indonesia).

My wife and I together with some folks from Livingseas were lucky to hop on one of their trips to Anambas last weekend. The service on the boat was top-notch. Our first liveaboard experience was with MV Nautica. In comparison, KM Gaia Love is far more spacious, stable and luxurious.

I shall let the video do the talking instead.

Thanks for the report and well produced video.
As a fellow person of residence in Singapore, these short live-aboards have always tempted me but I've never actually just done it! This trip certainly looks worth it though.

And the Gaia looks like a very comfy boat.

Thank you for your kind words. The boat is by far the BEST I have tried so far, not that I have tried others.

You should indeed join the local LOBs. Diverace (another LOB) has been sighting whalesharks at the Anambas Islands (4/5 trips)!
