About Vela

Welcome to Vela Liveaboard, your floating home for exploring the incredible waters of Raja Ampat. This 50-meter traditional Phinisi has been completely reimagined for modern comfort, offering 6 beautifully appointed cabins that can host up to 12 guests. Built with Indonesian craftsmanship and equipped with today’s technology, Vela strikes that perfect balance between authentic character and contemporary luxury. Whether you’re planning a diving expedition, a family retreat, or simply want to experience Indonesia’s most pristine marine environment, our boat charter provides the freedom and flexibility to explore at your own pace.

What sets Vela Liveaboard Boat Charter apart is how we’ve thought about every detail of your time on board. We’re not just another boat charter – we’re a carefully curated experience that lets you truly disconnect from the everyday while staying connected to what matters. From sunrise yoga sessions on the sundeck to watching dolphins play in our wake, from world-class diving in Raja Ampat to simply lounging in our chill-out areas, every moment aboard Vela is designed around you. Our 890hp Yanmar engine gives us the power to reach remote locations, while our experienced crew ensures every journey feels effortless and personal.

Facilities

Life aboard Vela Liveaboard means having everything you need right at your fingertips. Our indoor and outdoor dining areas let you enjoy meals wherever suits your mood – whether that’s a sunset dinner on deck or a casual breakfast while watching the morning light hit the water. Entertainment comes in many forms here: catch up on your favorite shows on Samsung OLED TVs, stream movies under the stars with our outdoor cinema setup, or simply enjoy the premium sound quality from our DALI sound bars and Sonance speakers throughout the boat. And yes, we have Starlink satellite internet, so staying in touch with home (or your remote work) is never an issue.

For adventure seekers, Vela Liveaboard Boat Charter is essentially a floating water sports resort. Our diving setup includes 12 complete dive kits, two Bauer compressors, and a Nitrox generator for serious divers exploring Raja Ampat’s legendary sites. But the fun doesn’t stop underwater – we’ve got two Yamaha jet skis, two Seabob F5S underwater scooters, stand-up paddleboards, sea kayaks, waterskis, a wakeboard, and even fishing gear. Our two Zodiac Pro 7 tenders with Mercury 200hp engines make getting to remote beaches and dive sites quick and comfortable. Plus, we’ve set up an outdoor gym area with TRX kits, dumbbells, and yoga mats for those who like to keep up their fitness routine while traveling.
