About Jaya
23m | 7 CABINS | 8 CREW
The Jaya is our expedition vessel. She moves seasonally between Komodo, Raja Ampat, and long-range expeditions. Built in 1999, she has sailed and ventured the waters of South East Asia with her faithful captain, who has been running the boat since the beginning.
Below deck, 7 cabins can accommodate a total of 14 guests. The 4 twin cabins with two shared bathrooms and 3 double rooms with en-suite bathrooms are each equipped with an AC unit to keep you refreshed and power sockets for charging. All bathrooms provide freshwater showers, shampoo, and soap to keep up with basic hygiene.
Jaya is a very strong and capable boat designed to explore the fantastic world around us. Jaya itself is designed from the keel up to appear as a Phinisi sailing schooner, using traditional methods that have served the Bugis people of South Sulawesi for centuries.
This boat is completely hand-built over the course of eighteen months and looks stunning with her six sails up. The upper deck has plenty of shaded space for lounging, napping, eating, or just enjoying the breath-taking scenery as it quietly passes by. It includes several separate tables with round the edge seating so that you can spread out in the space in between dives.
On the sun deck area, you find beanbags for your afternoon nap, sunbathing, or for star gazing at night. The dive deck is equipped with tank spaces around the edge while the centre provides room to store fins and masks, hanging space for wetsuits, and freshwater containers for torches and cameras.

The Jaya endeavours to hit all the top diving spots in each region to provide a schedule packed with phenomenal diving and breath-taking land visits!

Itineraries
Best of Dampier - 7D/6N
Starting and ending our adventure in Waisai we dive approximately 19 of the most spectacular sites Raja Ampat has to offer. On our way through the Dampier Strait, we explore the reefs around Kri, Arborek, the Fam Islands, Aljui Bay, and Kawe.
Dampier and Misool - 10D/9N
Starting in the Dampier Strait, then move further south to Batanta for some muck diving where you get to admire colourful critters like blue-ringed octopus or flamboyant cuttlefish, continued with 3 days diving around the scattering of islands south-east of Misool.
Komodo Trip - 7D/6N
Komodo Liveaboard is in season now!
Komodo Trekking, Pink Beach, Batu Bolong,
all in one itinerary!
Ambon to Waisai - 11D/10N
Banda Sea has clear waters that make it a comfortable home for large pelagic fish, beautiful reefs, and unspoiled corals bursting with life and Raja Ampat boasts the amazing biodiversity, including whale sharks and mantas.
Maumere-Ambon Expedition - 14D/13N
The expedition starts with muck diving in Maumere and continues with the crossing to the Banda Sea, tracing the perimeter of the mystical Spice Islands. Maumere – Alor – Banda – Ambon is famous for its spectacular coral reefs and marine biodiversity, so we ensure to select the optimal diving locations the area has to offer at that time of the year.
Exploration Trip - 14D/13N
During these trips we will be looking for new dive sites, testing some theories, and trying out new ideas. This is the perfect trip for the experienced Raja diver looking for something new or the diver with a strong sense of adventure and interest in doing things differently.

What our guests are saying
Lucie Aubret (Jaya/Komodo)
It was awesome, thanks again to everyone and a special thanks to Younes who deserves it. He manages very very well. Idea: Movie night would be a perfect after dive activity.
Chase Krause (Jaya/Komodo)
You Guys Rock! Great diving, awesome very knowledgeable guides, tasty food, friendly crew… cold beer! I could really see that everyone loves working on the boat and makes a great team, Cheers to TEAM SEA SQUIRT! :-)
Wyatt Davis (Jaya/Komodo)
My experience on Jaya was unbelievable. The dive guides and crew are all so friendly, welcoming and caring. They clearly love what they do, and it makes for an amazing experience below and above water. I hope to come back soon!
