Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“Phenomenal!!! Do yourself a favor, just book now! We’ve never experienced a crew that takes such pride in their craft. The Anne Bonny is a sexy, elegant boutique boat. Our cabin was private & comfortable with plenty of storage. The crew & service exceeded any expectations we could have had. Especially Lolita & Super Sam! Lolita is one of the most professional & thorough dive masters we’ve experienced. She also gave us some great recommendations for the rest of our Indonesia adventures. There’s nothing Super Sam can’t do. The food & drink aboard are worth booking alone! Every course, every meal! Expect to add couple extra Kg to your dive gear. No joke, the food is incredible! I would recommend bringing cash before departing & bringing your own dive gear if possible. Rental gear onboard is in good condition & quality, but I’d prefer comfort & familiarity for more technical dives.”
