The boat is structured around multi-day diving and cruising in Raja Ampat and Cendrawasih Bay, with 12 air-conditioned en-suite cabins sleeping up to 26 guests.

Vessel Overview and Specifications

Sea Safari 8 measures 35 metres in length and 10 metres across the beam. She cruises at 5 to 6 knots under the Indonesian flag, a speed profile suited to the longer, station-by-station Raja Ampat and Cendrawasih Bay routes where dive sites are clustered and transit is done overnight. The classification is VVIP within our Raja Ampat fleet, and status is available for booking subject to seasonal schedules.

Cabin Layout for 26 Guests

Guests are accommodated in 12 en-suite cabins with full air-conditioning, across four configurations: Double Bed, Twin Bed, Double Bunk Bed, and Single Bunk Bed. Total capacity is 26, which gives group leaders flexibility to mix couples, dive buddies, and solo travellers on a single charter without compromising privacy or bathroom availability.

Diving Program and Equipment

Dive operations are a core pillar of the Sea Safari 8 experience. Each charter includes a certified Dive Master at a 1 DM per 4 divers ratio, a compressor delivering 3000 psi or 200 bar fills, tanks, weight belts, and the ENOS diver emergency GPS locator. Nitrox (EAN 29 to 32 percent) and rental dive gear are available as paid extras. Jasaraharja public liability insurance is included, and DAN insurance can be arranged on request.

Onboard Facilities and Living Areas

Indoor facilities include a restaurant with ocean views, a well-stocked bar, and a camera station for photographers processing dive and landscape footage. Outside, the sun deck and dive deck are generously sized, and a jacuzzi handles evening downtime. The boat also carries snorkelling gear and kayaks so non-divers have something to do during surface intervals. Meals are served daily as light breakfast, breakfast, lunch, afternoon snacks, and dinner, with free-flow tea, coffee, and water.
