Ilike Liveaboard

The ILIKE Liveaboard Indonesia, constructed in 2010 in Sulawesi’s Bira region, pays homage to the local tribe renowned for crafting robust and dependable phinisi boats. These traditional vessels are specially designed for navigating the vast Indonesian archipelago.

ILIKE Liveaboard Features:

ILIKE welcomes a total of 16 guests, offering accommodation in 8 fully air-conditioned cabins, each equipped with an ensuite bathroom featuring a hot water shower, toilet, and sink. Whether enjoying Indonesian or International cuisine, guests can dine in the spacious saloon with an open kitchen or the wind-protected outdoor sitting area at the stern of the boat. The dive deck, among the most spacious on Indonesian liveaboards, allows divers to choose between Air or Nitrox, thanks to the onboard membrane Nitrox compressor. In between dives, guests are invited to soak up the sun on the expansive sun deck, where breathtaking sunsets and refreshing drinks await.

Cruising Experience:

Powered by 2 x 320HP marine engines, ILIKE cruises at an average speed of 9-10 knots across Indonesia, exploring top diving destinations such as Komodo, Alor, Maluku, Banda Sea, Triton Bay, Raja Ampat, and Kalimantan. Rich marine life, vibrant corals, and stunning landscapes promise to etch lasting memories for guests on board the ILIKE Liveaboard. The team eagerly anticipates extending a warm welcome to all adventure enthusiasts!
