The best of the best I’ve been on a lot of liveaboards over the years, and I can say without hesitation that this is the best one I’ve ever experienced—and I’m a repeat guest for a reason. From the moment you step onboard, everything is taken care of. The crew runs like a perfectly tuned machine, yet nothing ever feels rushed or impersonal. Every detail—dives, meals, equipment, safety briefings—is handled seamlessly, allowing you to completely relax and focus on enjoying the experience. What really sets this liveaboard apart is the level of personal attention. The staff genuinely care. They remember your preferences, anticipate your needs, and go above and beyond to make sure every guest feels looked after. It strikes that rare balance between high-end service and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Safety is clearly a top priority as well. The dive operations are professional, well-organized, and reassuringly thorough without ever being overbearing. You feel confident and secure on every dive. The diving itself is, of course, outstanding—but it’s the overall experience that keeps bringing me back. Exceptional service, incredible crew, and a level of care that’s hard to find anywhere else. If you’re considering a liveaboard, stop looking. This is the one.

A trip of a lifetime! Our first liveaboard experience on the Adelaar was absolutely unforgettable. We chose it for the small group size (just 8 guests) and focus on advanced diving, and it delivered on every level. The boat is beautiful and comfortable, the crew is exceptional, and Cruise Director Dylan and Co-Director Ann made everything run seamlessly. The food was outstanding—à la carte breakfasts, excellent lunches and dinners, and great snacks between dives. And the diving in Raja Ampat is truly world-class—stunning reefs, incredible biodiversity, and consistently amazing dive sites. If you’re looking for a high-end, small-group liveaboard with top-tier diving and service, Adelaar is hard to beat. Highly recommend.

Adelaar forever Great cruise, friendly staff and team dedicated to give you the best experience possible with attention to details and safety. Everybody goes out of their way to make sure you have a comfortable and relaxed experience. The atmosphere was very friendly and people and staff have a good sense of humour. I also made some good friendships along the way. Had some great dives in Raja Ampat during those 6 days and was very happy with what we saw (mantas, sharks, pygmy seahorses, beautiful corals, lots of fish, turtles) and my stay overall. We were 7 guests. I loved this boat and crew, I will definitely come back for more in Komodo.

Highly Recommend SY Adelaar and the crew were fantastic for a 6 day dive trip over Christmas in Raja Ampat. They didn’t miss a beat; from ensuring all your gear was prepped on the boat ready to go (every time without one issue or something missing the whole trip), to warm ginger tea shots and snacks welcoming you after your dive by Wayhu. Crew were always upbeat and ready to help. Captain Gandi ran the operations very well. The diving programme was well coordinated by Dylan, adapting to conditions and guest needs. They executed each dive with the utmost care as well as keeping it fun! The history make Adelaar even more special to cruise around. She’s a safe, well maintained boat with enough space with only 8 guests to relax solo or enjoy getting together. Would be nice for family or friends wanting to hire the whole boat for themselves.

Unforgettable experience on a luxury liveaboard dive yacht We had a fabulous time on Adelaar, our second time. She is gorgeous, luxurious, comfortable and comes with a superb crew, ready to look after all your needs and wants. We had both divers and snorkels in our group and all were very happy with the experiences. The food was outstanding, with special accommodations for those in our group who are vegetarian. Couldn’t recommend Adelaar enough for an unforgettable adventure.

Great boat and wonderful crew in Indonesia! I recently enjoyed a Kaimana to Ambon itinerary through the Banda Sea on the Adelaar. The diving was great with whale shark, sea snake, and hammerhead encounters along with all the diverse and abundant life that diving in Indonesia has to offer. The Adelaar is a great vessel with lots of character and a perfect number of guests offering more a more personal and catered experience than some of the larger boats. Dylan and the crew are fantastic! They were knowledgeable, accommodating, and made the trip a truly unforgettable experience. From leading the dives, handling all of gear and rinsing wetsuits every time we got out of the water, to great food, clean rooms, and good company - all that was left for the guests to do was enjoy! Looking forward to making it back to Indonesia for another itinerary on the Adelaar!

Fun filled 11 night liveaboard trip from Kaimana to Ambon I spent 11 nights diving from Kaimana to Ambon across the Banda Sea and had a fantastic trip. The boat and the diving were both well organised. Every dive was thoughtfully tailored to what we wanted to see and do with safety a priority throughout, which made each dive relaxed and enjoyable. The cruise director was professional yet fun, keeping us laughing and always doing his best to give us great encounters underwater. The dive guides were very patient with us photographers, and the crew were so attentive I barely had to lift a finger. The cabin and outdoor lounge were very comfortable, making it easy to unwind between dives. Overall, a memorable and well-run trip — I’d very happily sail with them again.

The hammerhead sharks show up... We saw hammerhead sharks about 20 together at 50 meters early in the morning. What a sight! Additionally, an eagle ray and 2 mobulas to top it off. The cruise director and dive master did everything to make this special day a success.

When the crew makes the difference! I had the pleasure of leading two trips for Behind the Mask Travel onboard the Adelaar, from Ambon to Kaimana and from Kaimana to Ambon. Aside from the spectacular diving and encounters we experienced during those days across the Banda Sea, what really made the difference was the INCREDIBLE crew. I cannot thank enough each of the crew members working onboard for their service and fine detail in making you feel at home. Everything onboard is looked after in an amazing way. The food is really good, the rooms are super comfy and clean, the service is excellent, and the way they treat you couldn’t be better. I'd like to give a special thanks to Dylan, the cruise director, for always being very professional while keeping us happy and having the best time! If you want to go diving in Indonesia on a top-quality boat, with a small group of divers and the best service, Adelaar is your way to go!
