Tiger Blue

Boat

Tiger Blue is a traditional wooden Phinisi vessel with an ironwood hull and teak decks, 34 meters long, 7.5 meters wide, cruises at 9 knots. It was completed in June 2008 and has just undergone a major refurbishment, adding a new master cabin, chill out area and bar on the main deck.

Tiger Blue has a dining deck with plenty of space at the front of the boat. In addition to the large dining table, the main deck features two double daybeds as well as a chill out area at the rear of the boat.

On the upper deck you can kick back on our sunloungers, taking in the spectacular views whilst enjoying the sunshine and perhaps a good book.

Tiger Blue can be chartered privately or on an individual cabin basis with three core itineraries throughout the year, which can easily be tailored to suit guests' requirements. Perfect for a family adventure, a once in a lifetime trip among friends or a diving and fishing holiday.

Tiger Blue can offer on board guests not only diving activitis but also wakeboarding, waterskiing, kneeboarding, kayaking, snorkelling, hiking, climbing, bird watching, fishing (only outside of the National parks) etc. As it's euipped with 2 sea kayaks, knee boards, wake boards, water skis, fishing gear on board.

Whether soaking up the sun, exploring a nearby island or leaping into the warm waters to dive or snorkel, the Tiger Blue team are there to look after you. At the end of each day, enjoy sunset cocktails either on the sun deck or sitting around a beach bonfire, before dining under a canopy of stars accompanied by tales of the day’s adventures.

Activities

Scuba Diving
Diving with Tiger Blue is a wonderfully civilised experience - The dive master is qualified in PADI, CMAS AND SSI. Whilst it is possible to learn to dive during your stay, for non-divers we offer free discover dive couse, all the dive equipment you will need is on board for using free of charge. And Discovery dives are free of charge too!

Shore Excursions
Venturing on to dry land, the crew will guide you to deserted beaches and through local villages where traditional ways of life remain virtually unchanged. The Natiional Park on the island of Komodo offers the possibility of stalking the infamous Komodo dragon, while the challenge of scaling the steep slopes of the Raja Ampat islands can bring rewards of spectacular panoramic views of the surrounding seascapes.

Water Sports
For those who prefer to explore above rather than under the water, there are two sea kayaks and plenty of snorkeling equipment, with a dedicated snorkeling guide. You can have a go at wakeboarding, waterskiing and knee boarding, and when the boat is outside of the national parks, try to catch some fish for fresh sashimi!

Please note fishing is not permitted in any National Park and motorised watersports are not permitted within Komodo National Park. Alternative locations can be arranged on request.

Surfering
For surfers, we can organise dedicated trips to the best breaks in West Papua from November to March. In June and July, the surf is excellent in Timor, near the Komodo National Park.

Hiking
The grassy slopes of Komodo lend themselves well to one to two hour climbs, ending in spectacular views across the islands and bays. Climb the steep pinnacles of Raja Ampat and you'll be surrounded by lush vegetation and tropical flora. Or hike up a volcano in the Banda islands and maybe spot a deer along the way.

Other Informations

Tiger Blue is available all year round for private charter sailing Raja Ampat, October to March and Komodo, April to September. We recommend a minimum of four nights in Komodo and seven nights in Raja Ampat due to the greater distances involved.
