Led by a man who's been finding new dive sites in eastern Indonesia since 1982, and a rate that covers almost everything from welcome cocktails to unrestricted Starlink WiFi. Seven Seas is now on Coralbound.
This is a platform announcement. If you're here to plan an Indonesia liveaboard trip, start with the Indonesia liveaboard guide.
Seven Seas
Seven Seas has completed more than 300 trips and 100,000 dives since launching, run by Mark Heighes, who first travelled to Indonesia as a dive guide in 1982 and was leading trips across the Banda Sea by the mid-1980s. He's regarded as one of the true pioneers of diving in the region, having found more dive sites in eastern Indonesia than most operators in the business. A crew of 18 runs the boat day to day, including full-time Cruise Director Angel Martin, who has logged more than 6,000 dives across Komodo, Sumbawa, the Banda Sea, the Forgotten Islands, East of Flores, and Raja Ampat.
She's a 40-metre traditional Buginese schooner carrying up to 14 guests across eight staterooms on three decks — reduced from 16 guests following a 2026 dry dock conversion that turned the two smallest cabins from twin bunks into private singles, trading maximum headcount for more accommodation options.
An unusually inclusive rate
The published rate on Seven Seas covers more than most liveaboards bundle in as standard, including:
- Port clearance, national park entry, and village access fees
- Four meals a day plus snacks
- Welcome cocktails, tea, Indonesian coffee, and drinking water
- Beach barbecues
- Unrestricted Starlink WiFi in every cabin and common area
- Return airport transfers
- Speedboat excursions, kayaks, and stand-up paddleboards
- A dedicated dive master, full dive tanks and weights, nitrox, and a 15-litre tank where available
- Laundry and toiletries
Guided tours and beach visits with a formal guide carry a small additional fee; unguided viewpoint walks and village visits don't.
Diving
Up to four dives a day run on standard days — three day dives and a night dive, aside from embarkation, disembarkation, and days spent steaming between regions. Diving is supported by twin compressors, 24 aluminium tanks, and three dive tenders — two twin-engine boats carrying six divers each, plus a smaller single-engine tender for four. Conditions are checked at every site before guests enter the water, a dive safety record the operator takes seriously after a decade and a half of continuous operation.
Cabins
Eight staterooms accommodate up to 14 guests across four double, two twin, and two single configurations. Two double cabins sit on the upper deck with panoramic window views; the remaining six are on the lower deck. All staterooms have king-size beds in the doubles and large single beds in the twins, with en-suite bathrooms offering hot and cold showers, a full-sized WC, and a hairdryer. The main lounge and dining area is air-conditioned with openable windows for natural airflow, alongside a working table for camera preparation and editing.
Where the Seven Seas sails
Itineraries cover Raja Ampat, Komodo, Alor, Triton Bay, the Banda Sea, and the Forgotten Islands, with no fixed itinerary template — routes and destinations are planned around current weather conditions rather than a rigid schedule set months in advance.
