ABOUT THE LIVEABOARD

The beautiful Ilike Indonesia is a traditional phinisi offering year-round trips in the stunning Indonesian archipelago. Itineraries cover dive areas such as Raja Ampat, East Flores, the Forgotten Islands, Alor, Triton Bay, and Komodo National Park and vary from short 5-night trips to longer 13-night trips. Onboard dive facilities include the spacious dive deck at the front of the boat, underwater camera setup and preparation area, 2 dive tenders for pick up and drop off, and nitrox for those certified (extra charge).

Topside, the MSY Ilike liveaboard caters to just 16 guests in 8 cabins. Each cabin has air-conditioning, private en-suite bathrooms, and port holes. Social areas include an indoor seating area and a spacious sundeck with loungers and hammocks – the perfect place to relax in-between dives or unwind with a cocktail at the end of the day whilst enjoying the spectacular Indonesian sunsets. The onboard chef freshly prepares meals – a mix of Indonesian and International cuisine, which will be served in either the salon with an open kitchen or the outdoor seating area protected from the wind.
