Introduction Shakti

The vessel

Our 32-metre traditional Indonesian phinisi is the most experienced boats in Raja Ampat, offering unparalleled possibilities to discover an Indonesian island paradise. We operate year round in the Raja Ampat area and have more experience and knowledge of these seas than other operators. .

Shakti was launched in 2000 in Tanah Beru, a small village on the Island of Sulawesi, which has a long phinisi boat-building history. It was the first boats in the area and can draw from almost 2 decades of diving and exploring the Raja Ampat waters. The team’s knowledge about the area; its culture, people, mystical stories and marine life is outstanding and unparalleled. In recognition, Shakti has been used by television teams such as the BBC’s Planet Earth team, as a base for producing nature documentaries.
