Absolutely the most spacious liveaboard I’ve ever experienced—definitely designed by divers, for divers! The crew was beyond excellent in every area!

The presentations from the cruise directors were very informative and interesting. I also really enjoyed the videos shown between dives and in the evenings

This was my last trip—after 20 years, I’ve decided to close the chapter on my diving experience. I greatly appreciated how flexible and accommodating you were with my food restrictions. Muchas gracias, terima kasih :)

I have been on several Arenui trips and always happy to be back!

I cannot think of a single way to improve the experience—long life to Arenui and its  crew! This was my first liveaboard experience, and I was amazed by the adventure. Two words for the food: quality and abundance. As a snorkeler, I never felt that the crew put me apart, and the staff were always smiling. I had a good feeling of what Indonesia has to offer, and it was great. Many thanks!

I hope many people get the chance to experience the Arenui Boutique Liveaboard—this is not goodbye, but au revoir! The diving was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. It’s not just a boat, it’s a five-star floating hotel. Generous portions, many thanks to Chef Mario! Fahmi asked me to say he’s the best dive master—and you know what? He is! And on top, a fabulous entertainer

An experience of a lifetime—we truly feel like family with the staff! We felt loved and cared for on a whole new level. WOW—I didn’t expect this much service, attention, and care. I absolutely loved the scents of the clothes, shampoos, and towels—I’ve never experienced anything like this. The diving was beautiful, with a passionate, generous, and devoted crew. Chef was amazing, and I will miss the kindness and love from the entire team. I know I’ll cry when I leave!

It was a last-minute decision, and I don’t regret the incredible trip! Thanks to everyone—everybody was exceptional, always with a smile :) Special wow to the chef team, and the snorkeling team was wonderful as well!

Very nice liveaboard—the best I’ve ever done!! Everything was perfect. Mario is the best chef ever!! The information sessions with Natalia and Alex were great, and Fahmi was awesome! Diving in Alor was perfect, what a beautiful country!

Arenui was our first liveaboard—and now we’re spoiled! The shower products were wonderful, and Chef Mario is amazing. Kadek was great, Dino is the man, and Arief is an absolute delight—so, so sweet!

The boat was beyond excellent! We really appreciated the option to choose half portions of both dinner entrée. Loved the lunch desserts, and also the lighter dessert options with dinner. The entire crew was exemplary! Tiau is the best dive master we’ve ever had, and the cruise director was fantastic. We especially loved the special treatment on the dive deck and tenders! Overall—loved, loved, loved the trip! We would definitely do it again!

Food and staff were everything! All the staff made us feel so welcome—like friends and family. The level of service is truly top-notch and unmatched by any other liveaboard! Thank you to everyone who made our stay so enjoyable and memorable. The food was beautifully presented with nice flavors!

Loved the diving—beautiful Indonesia! The boat very comfortable and roomy.  The crew was focused and making sure we had a great time and we did!! Chef Mario and his team were magical in the kitchen!

Thank you to the Captain and especially the crew, they are amazing and so special!

verything was superb! The cruise director was informative and kind, and honestly, the entire crew was first-rate. Most greeted passengers by name, and everyone was so friendly—they always made me feel welcome. Mario and his team’s selection of food, variety, and presentation were fabulous! Hope to see you again soon!

Enjoyed the all-wood boat—stable and smooth riding. Great service with lots of help from a fun crew  who are enthusiastic about their jobs. The farewell party was a blast! The diving was everything we hoped for—and more

This is our fourth trip to Indonesia, and the Arenui is by far the best of the best! We won’t be sailing on any other boat from now on and will highly recommend it to others. It couldn’t have been better—bravo! The experience truly exceeded our expectations.

This is a beautiful boat, and the crew made it incredibly comfortable and relaxing. It was a special trip for us, and this was the perfect boat with the perfect crew. The food was wonderful, and the crew was top-notch! We also loved the diversity of coral species

We've been on seven liveaboards before, and this one had the best food by far. The boat was fantastic, and the staff were outstanding. Every dive was excellent and as effortless as diving can be. The massage staff were amazing. No complaints at all!

The boat is absolutely beautiful, and I loved all the personal touches and decorations. Everything was both practical and useful. The cooking crew was amazing, offering so many alternative vegetarian options! Everyone was incredibly friendly, helpful, and always ready to assist. The crew is 5 stars!! I felt safe and well-guided throughout the trip. It was my first time in Indonesia, and I will definitely be back. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

Excellent vessel overall! Thank you for the extensive vegetarian menu and effort.

Lucky was an excellent dive guide, especially when it came to helping photographers. For dives, the red fins were very helpful. The boat itself was outstanding, offering great storage in the rooms and convenient charging areas

I'm already looking forward to returning in the future, this was the best trip ever! The crew was absolutely amazing, and I really appreciate all the accommodations made for vegetarians!

The entire crew was courteous and a pleasure to be around. It was nice to have a divemaster assigned to only 4 or 5 dives. Chef Mario and his kitchen team were fantastic!

Super duper crew and an awesome ship. The most comfortable liveaboard we’ve stayed on.

I loved it so much I want to make it an annual trip. Best dive trip I’ve ever been on. Incredible service! I’ve never had such an easy, carefree trip. So nice to have someone help pull off wetsuits, rinse & hang them & take care of our gear. Dive masters & cruise directors awesome. Jose’s talks added so much to the top. I could look at a reef and know what I was seeing. Really enhanced the experience. Everything was superb. Loved the opportunity to see so many sites and look forward to more trips on Arenui. Kai & Jose are incredible assets to the crew and to our trip. Loved the rapport and camaraderie of the crew. Service across the boat was super!’

Room was beautiful & comfortable. Food and beverages: Always plentiful & excellent. The Arenui’s best asset is the cohesive crew. Everything functions seamlessly. The crew was especially kind the few days I was feeling ill . Always amazing. Great divemasters.

All excellent. This was an amazing experience and by far one of the best trips I have ever had. The crew and staff was amazing. I’m looking forward to coming back and diving with you all again!

All crew were wonderful. Food and beverage: All excellent....wonderful choices & presentation. Thank you for the special attention for birthdays. From the moment we stepped on board, special treatment abounded. Our names were all known to the crew by end of the day.

This was everything I hoped it would be! Loved the whole set up. Very well thought out and planned perfectly. The crew/staff was excellent! Thank you for everything
