KLM ELIYA

KLM Eliya is a 30 x 6.3 meter Phinisi sailing boat that has been lovingly handcrafted by master ship builders. After many hours of research and design we were ready to begin bringing her to life! The master boat builders (arguably the best Phinisi boat builders in the world, from the Sulawesi region) started her from the keel up. The carpentry is exemplary and this purpose built dive vessel has been built with the need of the diver in mind. We have combined traditional Phinisi style shipbuilding with modern comforts and safety.

KLM Eliya was launched at the end of 2023. The boat and crew will ensure you have an unforgettable diving holiday in one of the world’s very best diving destinations - the magical and mystical world of Komodo National Park.

KLM Eliya has been built with one simple thought in mind - world class diving onboard a beautifully crafted, well run, professional live-aboard that will leave you feeling spoiled from the moment you come aboard until the moment you depart.

This phinisi is fitted out with a diving deck with ample space for all of your dive gear as well as camera stations and charging points. There are multiple areas to relax onboard including the sundeck area on the upper deck, the alfresco dining area at the bow of the boat and the covered seating/dining area at the stern, where our bar, with a selection of drinks will be available for your enjoyment.

The four double / twin cabins come equipped with a King size and a single bed, ample storage space for all your luggage needs along with ensuite bathrooms with hot water showers and toilets. The two shared cabins boasting 3 single beds that can either be booked as an individual, to share with two other guests (what better way to meet new lifelong friends when travelling solo?!) or as a twin shared cabin (this can then be shared with one additional solo traveller, or booked for just the two of you- supplement fees will apply). Each cabin is fitted with air-conditioning and plenty of charging points for your electronic items.
