TL

Solitude Adventurer is a 36-metre aluminium catamaran run by Singapore-based Solitude Liveaboards and Resorts. Built in 2000 as a private yacht, she was completely converted for diving in 2017 and started cruising in late 2018. The operator calls her Indonesia’s only catamaran liveaboard carrying up to 18 guests.

Her main difference from a monohull is the beam: 12 metres across a 36-metre hull. The saloon, decks and cabins are noticeably roomier than on a boat of comparable length, the motion is gentler, and every cabin sits above the waterline — six Deluxe cabins on the upper deck, the stateroom and the quad cabin on the main deck. All of them have large windows; there is not a single porthole on board.

The itineraries cover half of Indonesia. In winter the boat works Raja Ampat and Misool: limestone islets, the coral gardens of the Dampier Strait, mantas, wobbegongs and the endemic Raja Ampat epaulette shark. Spring brings crossings through the Banda Sea to Maumere and Alor — black sand, the currents of the Pantar Strait, macro life. In summer the catamaran stays in Komodo: drift dives on the northern reefs, mantas in the southern bays and a land visit to the dragons on Rinca. Autumn is the Banda Sea, with the volcanic island of Manuk, its sea snakes, seasonal hammerheads and historic Banda Neira.

On board there is an air-conditioned saloon with a massage chair and a library, an open-air dining area, a sun deck, a bar and a barbecue. Photographers get a dedicated area: two rinse tanks for cameras only, air guns, a set-up bench on the dive deck and a digital studio with a computer for editing. Meals are served five times a day, buffet style, with biscuits and instant noodles available around the clock.

Diving is run from two 4.2-metre skiffs, so gear stays on the tenders and the deck never gets crowded. Up to four dives a day including a night dive, one guide per six divers (one per four in Komodo). Three Bauer PE300 compressors, a nitrox membrane station and an EAN 28–30 % blend chosen for a safer maximum operating depth. There are no twin sets and no rebreather support on board.

Alor, the Forgotten Islands and the Banda Sea (Maumere — Ambon)

Twelve nights on one of the most remote routes in Indonesia: from Flores through Alor and the Forgotten Islands into the Banda Sea. The boat crosses areas that see only a handful of liveaboards a year — the reefs of northern Flores, the currents of the Pantar Strait, the seldom-visited islands of East Nusa Tenggara and the volcanic walls of the Banda Sea. The operator publishes no day-by-day plan for this one: the exact sites depend on weather and currents, and the cruise director decides on board. Boarding in Maumere, disembarkation in Ambon.

Crossings between Raja Ampat and Maumere

Once a year the boat leaves her winter base in Raja Ampat for the spring season around Flores, and later sails back through the Banda Sea. These are the longest trips on the schedule — 12 and 14 nights — boarding in Sorong and disembarking in Maumere. Misool, the Banda Islands, the volcanic islands of the Banda Sea and the rarely visited reefs of East Nusa Tenggara all fall along the way. There is no separate day-by-day programme for these crossings.
