Birthplace of Ta'Talasa BIRA - Uncharted Origins

This was the best liveaboard I’ve ever experienced. Stepping onto the boat felt like entering a luxurious world of excitement, adventure, relaxation and fun. Rob and Patrick care deeply about every detail, and it shows in the boat, the crew and the diving. The boat itself is astonishing — powered mainly by solar, with spacious cabins and ensuite bathrooms that feel more like a 5‑star hotel than a dive boat. Rob and Patrick planned every dive with care, provided excellent equipment, and offered t...

What an unforgettable holiday in Raja Ampat with Uncharted Cruises! 10 days of diving with so many surprises provided by the lovely crew of this beautiful boat. The diving and scenery in Raja Ampat is unique but the crew, boat, food and experience provided by Uncharted was off the scale. We all came away thinking it was exceptional value for money. Nothing was too much trouble and we were made to feel very special. The attention to detail and thought that had gone into our adventure was amazing....

Es war eine fantastische Exkursion in die wunderbare Inselwelt von Pulau und West Papua mit dem traditionellen indonesischen Zweimaster. Die Thalassa bot uns ein luxuriöses Ambiente, das sicherlich seinesgleichen sucht. Umgeben von Luxus genossen wir die Inselwelt dieser einmaligen Region, haben mit Booten Exkursionen in Strand und Wasserwelten unternommen und waren von wundervoller, unberührter Natur umgeben. Auch unter Wasser zeigte sich beim Schnorcheln die Fisch- und Korallenwelt in ihrer ga...

Hands down one of the best liveaboard experiences I’ve ever had! 🌊🤿 The crew were exceptional—warm, professional, and always going above and beyond to make sure everyone was happy and comfortable. Safety was clearly a top priority at all times, with thorough briefings, well-maintained equipment ( x deep wings and apex regulators ) , and a crew that was attentive both above and below the water. « Ta’Talasa» itself is incredibly comfortable, with cozy cabins and plenty of space to relax between di...

Thalassa is a very nice Phinisi Indonesian boat built in a pirate version. Every day, fantastic Indonesian food is cooked with lots of love. The crew is lovely and helps you with everything. The land tours and local people in the villages between the diving give you a real Indonesia cultere trip! The diving is stunning, there's a big variety of live, corals and landscapes. I did the Banda crossing, which included hammerheads grey and silvertip sharks at different dive sites. Healthy coral reefs...

We had a cruise on Thalassa with a group of experienced divers and instructors, all well-versed in the dive sites of the Indonesian Archipelago. But this wasn’t your usual cruise. Thanks to the deep local knowledge and adventurous spirit of the dive and deck teams, our goal was clear: exploration, to venture into rarely visited areas between Sulawesi and Flores and seek out uncharted dive sites. And Thalassa delivered beyond expectations. From reading nautical charts with precision, climbing th...

We were a group of 7 on the first Uncharted Crossing trip from Bira, South Sulawesi to Labuan Bajo, Komodo. As a Cruise Director myself on a luxury cruise, I have to say the service was top-notch — especially the attention to detail from the Stewardess, who were quick and thoughtful with every request. The Cruise Director onboard worked closely with the Captain and the rest of the crew to ensure we reached each destination on time, and the itinerary planning was spot-on. The boat itself was exc...

TRIP OF A LIFETIME!! It's hard to know where to start with my praise 😅 The boat itself (Thalassa 42) was magnificent and I love the pirate vibes with the gorgeous black sails. The attention to detail from the woodwork to the facilities was next level. Everything was so beautifully polished, I ran my hands over the wooden surfaces everywhere I went. There's a natural flow on the boat between the various living spaces - so you very rarely bump into people in passageways (which makes it feel even ...

I did a trip with Uncharted Cruises, on their boat Thalassa 42, in May 2025. We left from Bira, South Sulawesi and went all the way down to Komodo National Park, and it was probably the best holidays of my life, just incredible, wish I could do this non stop. First of all their boat is incredible, I’m 1.80m and usually on boats I have to be careful about bumping my head, but not on this boat, not a single place where I need to be careful, even in the cabins, which are massive by the way. Big dou...

We went on a 6 nights trip with Uncharted in March. Mind blown! Would recommend it for those looking for that little bit more in their liveaboard. The team tailored the trip and gave helpful feedback. The boat crew were really friendly (and good musicians!) and most importantly the food was the best I’ve ever had on a liveaborad. The boat is stunning, build with comfort and safety in mind. The owners seem to have a real sense of tradition & spared no expense on creating a beautiful feel and ...

Wow. What an experience. I have done many dive livaboard trips over the years, but this one was unlike any other. Firstly, Thalassa is more than a well designed functional dive boat. It is a work of art and so beautiful. When the black sails are out it is breathtaking. Sailing into a beautiful sunset with strings of uninhabited islands in all directions sitting on a comfy chair the top deck with a cold beer after a great days diving will live long in my memory. The beauty of the boat is a perfec...

Unsere 12 Tage auf der brandneuen Phinisi-Yacht Thalassa mit Uncharted Cruises waren einfach unbeschreiblich – eine perfekte Mischung aus Tauchen, Luxus und Abenteuer. Das von Robert selbst geplante Schiff ist perfekt, auch im Vergleich zu anderen Schiffen die wir gesehen haben. Unglaublich für mich, dass dies an einem Strand in 2 Jahren Handarbeit gebaut wurde! Die Kabinen mit Roomservice, Klimaanlage und privatem Badezimmern sind wunderschön. Wir haben uns das alles etwas rustikaler vorgestell...

Ich war vom 09.01.25 bis 21.01.25 zusammen mit 7 Freunden an Bord der Thalassa von Uncharted Cruises. Wir hatten eine geniale Zeit. Das Schiff ist brandneu, geschmackvoll eingerichtet und einfach wunderschön gemacht. Ich hatte noch nie so schöne Kabinen auf einem Liveaboard. (War schon öfter in Raja Ampat im Tauchurlaub).Das Essen ist sehr authentisch und von hoher Qualität und Geschmack. Die Crew ist feundlich, aufmerksam und gut geschult. Die Tauchgänge mit Engel, Robert und Patrick waren die ...
