About Moana
Moana is a beautiful, traditional Indonesian Liveaboard Ship – Phinisi Boat. She is perfectly equipped for cruising, snorkeling and diving Komodo. Join as individual traveler, with friends or as family to see the best of the Komodo National Park above and below water.
Since 2004 Moana offers Komodo diving safaris and thanks to many happy guests we have established an excellent reputation.
Moana is a classic 30m Phinisi Schooner, able to take up to 10 passengers. All cabins have air-conditioning and en suite bathrooms. Built in a traditional style during 2003 and 2004 but equipped with all the comforts of a new boat. She is entirely made from teak and ironwood, which lends a warm and comfortable atmosphere to this beautiful charter yacht.
The upper deck offers a huge amount of space. There is an air-conditioned indoor salon and a lot of deck area to relax. On deck you find a big spacious dining table with romantic indirect lightening. For outdoor lovers we offer blankets to sleep on deck watching the stars.
Purpose built to comfort divers (one of the favorite yacht charter activities), Moana has for many years enjoyed the reputation of being ‘THE LIVE-ABOARD SPECIALIST’ for Komodo National Park.
