Mari
Highlight
- Traditional Indonesian-phinisi
- Spacious and Comfortable
- Family friendly
MARI was built by traditional boat builders in South Sulawesi for personal use as a diving live-aboard across Indonesia, using strong ironwood. At 34 meters long, MARI accommodates 14 guests in 7 cabins, making her suitable for families and non-divers. All cabins are bright and well ventilated. With a wide operational range, she serves well for special excursions, filming, or research in remote areas.
We provide you with a spacious and comfortable liveaboard, equipped with modern and reliable technical gear. You’ll be guided by a seasoned Captain and his crew of 10, which includes an onboard technician. Additionally, there are 3-4 skilled Dive Masters and an English-speaking Cruise Director, all managed with care and organization by the German owner.
