Description

Boat

EcoXplorer is a mission-driven traditional Indonesian phinisi crafted for exploration, environmental stewardship, and adventure. Built for comfortable expeditions across the remote waters of Papua and Maluku, this wooden vessel features a total length of 31.46 m and a beam of 6.49 m. It perfectly blends classic sailing aesthetics with modern, eco-friendly practices, creating open, breezy spaces that feel both natural and inviting.

EcoXplorer was designed to provide maximum comfort in the middle of the sea while remaining focused on marine protection. Each cabin space, like a room in a floating boutique hotel, is thoughtfully laid out. It embodies the spirit of authentic discovery, freedom, and deep respect for the ocean.

In the spacious indoor lounge and elegant dining room, you will have a great time with your fellow travellers. There is plenty of space for everyone to relax, share stories of the day's dives, and enjoy the panoramic ocean views. You will be served with breakfast, lunch and dinner in this air-conditioned area, making it the perfect setup for a wonderful pastime between dives.

EcoXplorer features an inviting upper deck, an ideal outdoor space for golden hour relaxation where guests can enjoy spectacular sunsets and gentle sea breezes. It is the perfect spot to unwind after a thrilling day of underwater exploration while taking in the remote island scenery.

EcoXplorer offers hearty, varied meal experiences to keep divers energized, blending fresh local ingredients with Indonesian and international flavours served daily in full board style. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are included, and the crew happily caters to dietary preferences when informed in advance. Beverages such as fresh water, juices, tea, and coffee are provided.

For relaxation, guests can lounge on the soft sunbeds on the upper deck or enjoy the quiet, shaded areas around the ship. Every detail is focused on ensuring an unforgettable ecotourism experience without sacrificing comfort.

Diving and water activities are supported by two dedicated 7-meter fiberglass speedboats (tenders) that efficiently shuttle guests to prime dive sites throughout Raja Ampat and the Banda Sea. The main deck provides ample space for dive gear setup, tank storage, and easy preparation for all your underwater adventures.
