Calico Jack is a handcrafted 30-metre Indonesian Phinisi created for small-group expeditions through the country’s most remote archipelagos. Combining traditional Sulawesi boatbuilding with modern operating systems, the vessel offers an intimate and capable platform for exploring destinations such as Raja Ampat, Komodo, and the Banda Sea.
A maximum of ten guests is accommodated in five comfortable cabins and cared for by an experienced crew of ten. The limited capacity allows for personal service, relaxed onboard living, and small dive groups without crowded preparations or transfers.
Calico Jack is equipped for extended journeys away from established ports, with twin engines, onboard water production, and the infrastructure required for long-range operations. Diving facilities include a dedicated dive deck, Nitrox, camera stations, and two tenders providing efficient access to remote sites.
Between dives, guests can enjoy freshly prepared cuisine, unwind in the vessel’s communal areas, and take in Indonesia’s dramatic island scenery. With its expedition capability, attentive service, and focus on serious diving, Calico Jack is well suited to adventurous guests looking for a more personal way to experience Indonesia’s reefs, currents, and rarely visited seas.
