Traditional Style With Stylish Amenities

Ilike combines the charm of a traditional sailing boat with the comfort of a modern yacht. In 2016, she was converted to a diving liveaboard, maintaining her classic Indonesian character. Between dives you can relax and catch some sun on the exceptionally large top deck lounge area behind the wheelhouse, where you can also enjoy spectacular sunsets sipping a cool drink. You’ll find lots of lounge chairs and there’s a canopy which can be raised when the sun is too intense. But, for relaxing in the shade, there’s also a wonderful exterior lounge at the stern end of the main deck which doubles as an inviting alfresco dining option. Also on the main deck, in the spacious saloon with its open kitchen, you will be able to watch the chefs in action.

The teak interior of the boat gives that classic warm & cozy feeling to the boat … and the windows allow plenty of natural light.

The spacious dive deck at the front of the boat, on the main deck, presents plenty of room for 14 divers. On the lower deck are the 7 welcoming, traditionally-styled cabins.

Delicious Indonesian and international menus are served in the large saloon with its open kitchen or in the outdoor area at the stern. When eating outside, you’ll be awed by magnificent island views and you’ll be well protected from the wind.
