Description

Boat

Amira is a spacious Indonesian liveaboard built in the classic wooden Phinisi style by indigenous craftsmen, blending timeless design with contemporary marine technology and safety systems. With a length of approximately 52 m and a beam of 10 m, the boat offers generous living and social spaces designed for comfort before, between and after dives.

Amira’s cruise speed is typically around 7 knots with a top speed of about 10 knots; these moderate speeds are well-suited to safe and comfortable passage through the Indonesian archipelago.

Amira features a large sun deck of about 140 m² with loungers, bean bags and shaded areas — perfect for relaxing and watching the passing islands and seascapes. The main deck includes a covered lounge and dining area where meals are served (often outside on the front deck weather permitting), plus an indoor lounge with a fish-ID library and briefing lounge for dive plans. On the lower deck lies the dive deck, with ample room for gearing up, individual dive stations, freshwater rinse showers and a dedicated camera room with charging stations and workspace for underwater photography.

Across the boat there are various communal spaces to socialize or unwind, including shaded outdoor areas, indoor seating with TV and entertainment, and both indoor and al fresco dining.

Food onboard reflects a blend of Indonesian and international influences, with meals prepared fresh daily and served buffet-style or plated, accompanied by snacks, coffee, tea and juices throughout the day. Special dietary requests can usually be accommodated with advance notice.
