Before liveaboards became the norm in Raja Ampat, there was Shakti. Launched in 2000 in Tanah Beru, South Sulawesi — the birthplace of Indonesia’s legendary Phinisi boatbuilders — this pioneering vessel helped map the reefs and islands that now define the region’s reputation. With over 20 years of exploration, Shakti remains the benchmark for intimate dive charters: small, personal, and deeply connected to the sea.
Renovated in 2016 with thoughtful modern touches, she balances authenticity with comfort: six ensuite cabins, seasoned Indonesian crew, and dive operations run by veteran guides who know these waters like home.
The Shakti offers a choice of 6 spacious cabins, each designed to provide a comfortable and relaxing retreat. Each cabin features individually controlled air-conditioning, ensuring a pleasant temperature throughout your stay. The en-suite bathrooms offer privacy and convenience, while 24-hour electricity allows you to easily recharge your devices and enjoy the onboard amenities. Whether you’re seeking a peaceful night’s sleep or simply relaxing between dives, the Shakti’s cabins provide a comfortable and inviting space to unwind and recharge.
Hand-built from tropical hardwoods by the renowned Konjo craftsmen, Shakti carries the true spirit of the Phinisi — graceful under sail yet rugged enough for open-ocean exploration. Measuring 32 metres with a 7-metre beam, she cruises comfortably at 9 knots and is fully equipped for serious diving.
This is a yacht with stories. She has served as a platform for the BBC’s Planet Earth team, hosted marine biologists, and guided countless divers through Raja Ampat’s most secret corners.
