The boat is small and cozy, but there is still room for everyone. It was wonderful that there were just 10 of us instead of 12. The crew was kind and helpful, and the cruise director, Guillaume, offered great briefings. The food was extremely tasty and there was a lot of it, with vegetarian alternatives (but don’t expect what you see in their ads). We felt like we were in good hands. The diving in the middle and south of Raja Ampat was amazing. Raja Laut is a wooden boat, and the generators run throughout the while, so if you are a light sleeper, you should bring earplugs. We would have liked to see the boat under canvas, but we appreciate that this would have made the trip longer and less diving. We had a great time overall and strongly recommend the boat.
