Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“Sea-ze the day with Carpe Diem! I recently returned from two unforgettable liveaboard trips with Carpe Diem in the stunning waters of Komodo, and I can’t recommend this experience enough! From the moment I boarded the vessel, Cecile and the crew made me feel at home. They were caring, friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive, ensuring that all my needs and those of other guests were met. In addition, Cecile's empathetic, authentic, and accountable approach to leading her crew and hosting her guests are no doubt qualities that make her an inspirational leader at sea! The phinisi itself was beautiful, comfortable, clean and well-equipped, with spacious cabins and plenty of communal areas to relax and socialize. Diving from the liveaboard was a game-changer. Each day was packed with multiple dives at breathtaking sites, ranging from vibrant coral reefs to exhilarating drift dives. Cecile and Agus were exceptional, providing handy tips and ensuring our safety while inviting us to explore the underwater splendour. I encountered an array of marine life, including majestic manta rays, docile reef sharks, shy regal blue tangs, and even a dugong swimming gracefully from a distance. The meals onboard were another highlight. Each meal was a delicious celebration of local and international flavors, and the variety was always in abundance to cater to different dietary preferences. After a day of diving, sharing stories and laughter over a hearty dinner was the perfect way to unwind. What truly sets Carpe Diem apart from the rest is the expertise, drive, agility and individual attention from Cecile and the crew. Each dive brought new experiences, and I loved the convenience of having all my gear prepared and ready to go! Overall, my liveaboard experience with Carpe Diem was a perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, and camaraderie. I returned home with a deeper appreciation for the sea and the crew that went the extra mile to provide top-notch service for all the guests.”
Recommended for: The crew. The dives. The overall service on and off the boat.
