Damai II

Liveaboard in Indonesia

4.9 (5 reviews)

Damai II is a 40-meter luxury Phinisi liveaboard built in 2011 by Pak Hadji Baso of Tanjung Bira, South Sulawesi, accommodating 12 guests across 7 cabins with a 9-meter beam. For the 2026/2027 season, the vessel operates 8 to 12-night itineraries across Raja Ampat, Komodo, Halmahera, and Derawan Islands, with a 4:1 guest-to-guide ratio. Single supplement from 30%. Rates starting from USD $608 per person per day.

Damai II is the second vessel built by Pak Hadji Baso for the Dive Damai fleet, constructed in 2011 with a slightly wider 9-meter beam than its sister ship, adding extra deck space and stability. While sharing the same core diving philosophy as Damai I — three dive guides plus one instructor, a 4:1 guest-to-guide ratio, and two custom high-speed tenders — Damai II introduces several enhancements: larger dive stations with wider individual rinse tanks, a more spacious camera room suited for big-rig setups, flat screen TVs pre-loaded with entertainment in every cabin, and satellite Wi-Fi throughout. The vessel also covers a broader seasonal range, including dedicated Kalimantan itineraries not offered on Damai I.

Seven cabins accommodate up to 12 guests on standard departures. Five below-deck cabins each measure approximately 20 sqm with a double bed, separate day bed, en-suite dry and wet zones divided by a glass shower door, desk, wardrobe, air conditioning, and flat screen TV. The two stern staterooms on the main deck each exceed 40 sqm and feature a super-king bed, day beds, two desks, en-suite shower with separate head, and a private deck with loungers. Single supplement is 30% above the double rate on standard cabins, with higher rates applying to the stern staterooms. Three spacious outdoor deck areas include an outdoor dining space, massage and spa treatment area, and generous lounge and sunbathing spaces. As with Damai I, complimentary free-flow beer and a glass of wine with dinner are included throughout the voyage.

Booking FAQ

What is the payment schedule for liveaboard bookings?

Booking is easy - a 25% deposit secures your spot immediately, with the remaining balance due 100 days before departure. If you're booking within 100 days of your trip, full payment is required to confirm your reservation. Popular routes book 6-12 months or even further, so we recommend securing your spot early.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept international bank transfers as well as Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and JCB credit cards (processed securely through third-party payment processors). Most guests prefer bank transfers. Just note that transfers typically take 3-5 business days to process, so please plan accordingly if you're booking close to your departure date.

How does the booking process work?

It's simple and transparent. As authorized agents, we have direct access to operator booking systems—we place holds on available cabins instantly. Once the operator confirms your hold, we'll send you the booking total via email along with payment details based on your preferred method. After payment, your booking is confirmed and you can add guest details through your Coralbound account dashboard. We'll remind you before final payment is due, and you'll be cleared for boarding once the operator has all the details.

Can I book flights through Coralbound?

Absolutely—and this is where we truly stand apart. Our specialized travel partner knows which airlines and routes are most reliable and monitors your flights 24/7. If there's a delay or cancellation, they automatically rebook you—no stress, no missed departures. We're not just booking your liveaboard—we're making sure you actually get there. Simply check the flight coordination box at checkout and we'll handle the rest. Most of our guests choose this option for complete peace of mind.

Can you help with hotel bookings?

Yes! We arrange your pre- and post-trip accommodations for a seamless transition. Our team knows the best hotels near departure ports and coordinates timing with your flights and boat schedule—it's one less thing to worry about. Add hotels during checkout or contact us for recommendations.

Can I extend my trip with other experiences?

Yes! Unlike other liveaboard booking platforms, Coralbound offers curated extension packages through our travel agency partner. Add multi-day cultural or adventure experiences, or extend your stay at world-class diving resorts or luxury beach properties anywhere in Indonesia—not just at your liveaboard destination. Want to combine your liveaboard with a week at a resort in Raja Ampat, explore Bali's temples, or see the dragons in Komodo? If you let us arrange your domestic flights, we can create a seamless itinerary connecting multiple destinations. It's the complete vacation planning you won't find on other liveaboard platforms.
