This is a truly lovely ship with an exceptional crew, delicious food, amazing dive sites, and a great welcoming feel. It’s clear that everyone works crazy hard.

The artistic design of the whole ship is stunning, and the food is truly amazing—so much creativity and absolutely delicious!

Thank you for a great week!

The boat was just as I remembered it from 6 years ago. The staff of Arenui runs like a well-oiled operation—always helpful, cheerful, and full of positive energy. The diving was even better than expected, and the food and service were the best I’ve experienced at any dive resort

The ship is beautiful, the cabins are pretty and comfy, and the food was fantastic—beautifully presented. Arief was the highlight of the trip! Natalia and Alex were awesome, and Fred took great care of us underwater. I loved the diving—so easy, and I didn’t have to lift a finger. What service! This trip was on the higher end of my budget, but absolutely worth it. I truly hope I can come again sometime!

Fantastic charter! Great cabins and food service, Mario and crew are great, the diving was fantastic and even the offie crew were great!

The boat accommodated our every need—it’s well laid out and provides every comfort. Everyone—and I mean everyone—was friendly, professional, and incredibly helpful in every way possible.

Table service and the stewards’ help with dive clothing were truly over the top. Absolutely excellent service in every area, in every way. The diving was spectacular! The briefings were perfect, the dive masters were excellent, and the boat tenders were incredible—no complaints at all. The chef and crew delivered an incredible menu with a wide variety of perfectly cooked meals. We really enjoyed the originality and deliciousness of every dish!

A wonderful, well-built boat. All the crew were incredibly friendly and helpful. I did all the dives—an amazing experience, just as promised and even better! Amazing soups, excellent variety and flavor, well done!

I am 79 years old and have been diving since 1968—and this has been my best diving experience!

I was very impressed with the boat—can’t think of a single way to improve it. The staff were not only highly competent but also seemed to genuinely enjoy their work—fun, courteous, and always helpful. Excellent food and fabulous diving!

The boat was an excellent place to have a vacation. I can only say good things about your staff—they went out of their way to make me feel comfortable, happy, safe, and cared for. The rental equipment was top-notch, and I feel completely satisfied!

For those who haven’t been on the Arenui or a liveaboard before—we’ve had the time of our lives and appreciated every moment. We will be back!

Every person on board has been fantastic, always smiling and incredibly welcoming. You never feel like you’re putting anyone out by asking for something. The boat is beautiful, with amazing attention to detail—you can really tell how much care went into creating it. The variety and choices of food onboard are great for everyone!

Such a beautiful boat—this trip was an absolute delight! I’ve never eaten so well on a vacation, and I’m going to miss the pastrami so much! You are all such gracious hosts—thank you for everything. At first, I wasn’t used to having my kit set up for me, but after seeing your care and expertise, I was able to relax and appreciate it. This was truly a trip of a lifetime. I knew it would be wonderful, but you have all completely exceeded my expectations. Thank you so much for this gift!

Great dive boat with a wonderful crew. Everyone is professional and friendly. Crew works very hard to make sure we have a great experience. Everyone knew my name which was very impressive! Very personable cruise director! Overall had a wonderful time on the boat

Outstanding dive boat—the best I have ever experienced on any dive trip! The food and service during all meals were incredible, with Dino and Arief standing out throughout the trip. The crew was highly professional, service-oriented, friendly, and accommodating. The dive masters were exceptionally professional, extremely safe, and always attentive

Very comfortable and roomy, beautiful woodwork and details. Amazing diving! Loved the dressing and undressing for wetsuits. The staff were the heart of Arenui, delivering friendly and professional service that anticipated your needs before you even articulate them. They truly make you feel at home on the water contributing to the overall experience and enjoyment of the trip

Very good decoration, clean and comfortable, so much food, lots of fresh fruit! Excellent diving! Fahmi was a great spotter, we had a wonderful time, staff, crew, dive masters all great and talented too!

After our first trip with Arenui in 2016, we’ve never done another liveaboard—it’s simply unmatched. We like the diving in Raja Ampat; the variety of sea life and ease of diving are unparalleled. The staff is fantastic, and the food is excellent. Thank you for another unforgettable trip! The remodel of Shinta was wonderful. The food was varied and excellently prepared. As always, everyone was incredibly helpful and willing to answer all questions. The divemasters and cruise directors were very accommodating to individual divers’ needs. Fahmi was extremely entertaining (and helpful!), while Andy was quieter but fantastic at spotting things for us. Good sites!! We’ve never seen so many turtles, wobbegong sharks, and giant mantas on previous trips

This was by far my favorite dive trip! It made my retirement celebration absolutely fabulous. The boat was fantastic, and the camera setup was the best I’ve ever had on a liveaboard!

I had a great experience! As relatively new divers, we learned so much and thoroughly enjoyed the process. It was my husband’s birthday during the trip, and I asked Arief if Mario’s team could write ‘Happy Birthday’ on his dessert plate. This simple request turned into a beautiful birthday cake and the crew singing Happy Birthday. It was absolutely amazing and priceless—thank you for doing that extra effort!! The facilities were incredible, and we were so impressed with the quality and variety of meals. Everyone was friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to help. Andy was a fantastic divemaster who tailored the dives to our interests and had an amazing ability to spot the coolest fish! The Misool area was our favorite—I could have stayed there much longer and thanks for lending the lights after ours fell in the ocean!

Karen and Bob love the Arenui! We have been on this boat 6 times. The Shinta suite is so awesome!

I love vacationing on the Arenui! First, Nat and the staff are such high-quality people—always so attentive and thoughtful with amazing attention to detail. The staff truly goes above and beyond. The diving is always the best in the world! The food was beyond delicious with such great variety, and I really appreciated the half-portion options for smaller appetites and to avoid waste. It gets better each time you’re on the ship! The toilets were always clean, and the beds were perfectly made!

Excellent all the way around. No issues with anything related with the boat or crew, no request to that they would not find a way to accommodate

Thank you!! Everyone is professional, courteous, kind and fun as usual. Special thanks and kudos to Natalia, Alex and Lucky! The food was wonderful and I appreciate the multiple options and ability to accommodate diet restrictions. Safety was paramount and greatly approached and the boat is beautiful as always!

I thoroughly enjoyed the trip and will definitely dive with Arenui again! The destinations were awesome, and great operation overall. The crew was amazingly helpful—I didn’t even have to take off my own fins! The food was amazing, and the boat, along with its amenities, was beautiful throughout

Arenui never fails to exceed my expectations, it’s just as spectacular and beautiful as the first time I boarded her in 2016. Mario is an outstanding chef—the diversity of flavors and quality is unmatched. This is my fourth trip, and it’s just as memorable as the first. The food and selection were exceptional! The teamwork among the crew was fantastic—teamwork truly makes the dream work! I absolutely loved the dives on this cruise, with so much diversity to explore

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

The boat is the best I have ever experienced, the crew go above and beyond. The diving, just WOW. I have already booked my next trip!
