Private phinisi liveaboard · Komodo · Raja AmpatAndamari

Andamari is the flagship of Escape Liveaboard, a Labuan Bajo company that has offered private phinisi charters since 2017. She was handcrafted from ironwood and teak and launched in May 2019. She is 30 metres long and 7.95 metres in the beam, cruising at eight to ten knots on a Mitsubishi 8DC11 engine, and carries 4,000 litres of water, a Garmin GPS, marine and VHF radios, a life raft and a speedboat.

She has three decks and six cabins for twelve overnight guests, or 25 on a day trip. Two master cabins on the upper deck face the sea and have private balconies; four cabins on the lower deck have bunk-style double beds. Every cabin is air-conditioned, with a private bathroom and hot shower, and a crew of eight runs the boat, with a chef on board and a bean-bag lounge on the upper deck.

She is chartered only privately, as a whole boat, and her operator names Komodo National Park, Raja Ampat and Alor among her routes. On board are canoes and paddleboards, snorkelling gear, scuba tanks and a compressor, Starlink internet, a sun deck and rooftop area, indoor and outdoor dining rooms and karaoke, with free-flow tea and coffee, fruit and snacks.
