Sailing around some of the best dive sites in the world, KLM Sea Safari VI offers its guests affordable luxury Indonesia liveaboard diving cruises. Depending on the month, Sea Safari VI takes divers to Raja Ampat, Lembeh Borneo or The Banda Sea 7D/6N cruises, but there are some longer and shorter trips available, too.
Although the boat has classic looks, it is actually quite new. Built using Ulin wood in 2000, this Phinisi Schooner is 35m in length and 9.5m wide. Guests can enjoy modern luxuries which they come to expect on a diving cruise, but still have the atmosphere and feeling of a traditional yacht. There are two motorized tender dinghies to send & retrieve divers, and to transfer guests to the remote tropical beaches.
There are four decks on Sea Safari VI, three of which are air-conditioned. The top deck is for sun worshippers, and those who want to enjoy the sea breeze while looking out for marine life, such as jumping dolphins. The upper deck has four cabins - two twin & two double. This is also where the shaded outdoor bar/lounge is located, which is the most popular communal area on the boat. The middle deck is home to the air-conditioned lounge and dining area, the kitchen/galley, and two double-bed cabins. Lower down, there are four more guest cabins – twin & double. All cabins on Sea Safari VI are air conditioned and have private en suite bathrooms.
Comfort and convenience come from the professional and friendly service in beautifully-appointed surroundings. Cabins are well equipped and in communal areas there’s space to move around, socialize or find some privacy. Safety is guaranteed by the professional crew and safety features, including navigation, communication, auxiliary motors, tender dinghies, and life vests.
