Does anyone know about this boat?

I haven't seen too many reviews. We're interested in her because (1) she's big, a catamaran, and my wife has a serious seasickness problem (yes, we've tried all the solutions; (2) they offer 90% refund if you cancel 60 days or more out; and (3) Raja Ampat!

Thanks

Bill

Just looked at their website. Looks a marvelous vessel. But for some people bit short beds.

There are a lot of land based resorts. Any specific region that you would like to dive? I can try to find you a resort near by or you can check out the sites for home stays:

Haha you should have missed a part of the previous Scubaboard litterature...:facepalm:
Unless one of the homestays has 24/7 aircon, an inhouse italian chef, serves red wine (NO white wine ..uh...) and has king size beds, I wouldn't see Bill staying more than 5 minutes in one of those.

Bill, what do you think of homestays?
"I hate them". :tired:
Alright, thank you Bill.

Ho hum, btw Bill : do you remember you have to go to Alor?

if someone asks specifically about a liveaboard, even though someone has issues with seasickness...its a fair bet they are interested in a liveaboard.

ok. Not cool, man. I had work to do this morning and now all I can think about is Raja Ampat and those awesome homestays. Once this stupid pandemic is over, i'm going.
 
Oh yeah I totally get that, Luko. Not being an adherent of white wine, I stand guilty as charged. Not everyone can enjoy Beethoven’s Quartet #15 third movement *all* the time! Sometimes fools need to hear a little Dvorak Op 86 to clear the mind. :clapping:


You know, in America we have a saying: “Fools rush in where angels fear to tread”. :poke: More generally, we have “In matters of taste, there is no dispute”. Check it out, baby! :bounce:

How has your research on this boat come along? We are also looking at it for Raja Ampat, Dec 2021. I haven't found much info or review online.
What's your time frame?
BTW, I am also very prone to seasickness, but just survived a Nautilus Explorer trip to Socorro. So now I am more confident with an LOB in Raja Ampat. We are also looking at doing a few days of diving at a resort there.

Thanks!
