Charging stations inside of the main salon but that area was not suitable for camera setup or maintenance. Area adjacent to dive deck exposed to elements at all times and was defined as a "wet" area to include the cabinet storage. |

Good. Diving in the Komodo and Rinca area offers a good range of underwater environments. The boat has lots of space in the salon and in public areas. Some cabins are large but not all. Bad. The boat is advertised as a luxury boat and it is not. The boat's all wood structure makes it very noisy. The toilet/shower area was smelly and moldy. No lighting in cabin over basins or desk. Hot water was not available most of the time. Compressors on front of boat and when running exhaust drifts over the entire boat. Dinghy loading area adjacent to boats engine exhausts. Food is marginal. Hot breakfast cooked hours before served. When an item of food ran out it was not refilled. |
