Indonesia's pioneer Liveaboard experience
DISCOVER PINDITO
With almost 30 years of continuous service, Pindito’s crew are unrivalled in their knowledge and experience of Indonesia’s wonders, both above and below the water.
Launched in the Banda Sea in 1992, Pindito quickly expanded her routes to include Raja Ampat, Komodo, Ambon and Alor. Today, she continues to thrive as a true pioneer, exploring new regions and dive sites while developing and offering itineraries that are both unique and diverse.
Our eight cabins and shared spaces are comfortable and thoughtfully designed, providing a relaxed yet professional environment for all activities. We welcome water lovers of every level and strive to accommodate all kinds of adventure. Diving, snorkelling, whale and bird watching, paddleboarding, and island or cultural visits are just a few of the experiences Pindito offers. Photographers and videographers will also value the spacious, purpose-built camera room.
Lovingly crafted by Swiss owner Edi Frommenwiler, Pindito is meticulously maintained and upholds an impeccable safety record. Ongoing upgrades and improvements ensure she remains at the forefront of her class, with her smooth-riding, stabilised hull continuing to set the standard.
We look forward to welcoming you aboard Pindito in the near future.
Kind regards,
Edi Frommenwiler
Owner, Pindito
Attentive service and safety
Our crew is dedicated to providing the highest level of service and attention, both on board and ashore. When planning each trip, we take into account the weather, local wildlife, as well as your individual skills and interests.
For activities, we ensure you are fully prepared, assisting you in and out of our four Zodiacs, and staying out on the water for as long as you do. We are experienced in safely handling camera equipment and are always ready to help with heavier gear.
All levels of experience are welcome. Whether you prefer to stay close to our eagle-eyed guides or explore independently at the back of the group, we keep our groups small to suit your personal style.
Simple and delicious cuisine
Pindito’s kitchen team carefully plans, shops, and prepares for every trip, with each dish cooked fresh on board. Our chefs serve a wide variety of flavourful dishes, with a focus on both international and, of course, Indonesian cuisine. With two breakfasts, delicious family-style meals, and a constant supply of fresh fruit, nuts, and cookies, you will never go hungry on Pindito. And just wait until you taste our freshly baked traditional Indonesian snacks — simply irresistible!
Please let us know of any dietary requirements in advance, and we will do our very best to accommodate them.
Charming and professional crew
From the moment you arrive, you will be greeted by the warm smiles of our crew – and that is just the beginning. Pindito has a professional team of more than 20, all dedicated to ensuring you enjoy a safe and comfortable voyage throughout your time with us.
Charming, attentive, and always ready to help, some of our crew members have been part of the Pindito family for over 20 years. On board, we’ve created a relaxed and intimate atmosphere that encourages you to unwind and immediately feel at home.

BIODIVERSITY HITS THE HIGH POINT Let us show you around Pindito’s gigantic playground, made up of hundreds (if not thousands!) of dive sites. Edi is one of the real pioneers of Raja Ampat, having not only discovered numerous sites but also must hold some kind of record for the highest amount of dives around here. And still counting! Raja Ampat, which means “4 Kings” lies in the Coral Triangle. The four main islands are Misool, Salawati, Batanta and Waigeo. This expanse of 40,000 square kilometers of marine territory and pristine reefs make these waters a diving haven second to none. Reputed to be the most biodiverse marine habitat on Earth, Raja Ampat is home to many species not found anywhere else. Spectacular, is a word often used to describe this region and is irresistible to divers.
