Mutiara Laut Liveaboards
Sailing Indonesia's Best Dive Sites in Timeless Elegance
The Boat
Few vessels capture the magic of the Indonesian archipelago quite like Mutiara Laut. Her name means "Pearl of the Sea" — a fitting tribute to a boat built in the traditional Indonesian phinisi style, hand-crafted from ironwood, yet fitted out with the comfort and safety standards modern divers expect.
A 46-meter schooner yacht with elegant twin masts and wide teak decks, she offers seven luxurious cabins and expansive indoor and outdoor spaces, blending timeless craftsmanship with modern comfort.

Indonesia is home to the richest marine biodiversity on Earth, and Mutiara Laut is designed to bring that world within easy reach without sacrificing comfort. Think polished teak decks, spacious air-conditioned cabins, a dive deck built for ease of entry and exit, and a crew whose hospitality is as warm as the tropical water below.
Her team is known for thoughtful, well-organized briefings and expert site knowledge — guiding guests confidently through some of Indonesia's most dynamic dive conditions, from strong currents to big pelagic encounters.
