Get to know the Calico Jack team - About Us and our Journey.

Calico Jack Charter’s Fleet

We finished building our first boat, the Calico Jack, in 2014. Since then, we have been cruising the waters of the Indonesian archipelago, offering our guests a full range of diving and exploration cruises.

Over the years Calico Jack has become a bit of a legend within the Liveaboard industry, combining safe professionalism, with a relaxed family approach to our cruises.
Leading upto the Pandemic we had already made plans to purchase a second complimentary vessel and to expand our operations.

The legacy of Calico Jack, lead inevitably to adopting the name ‘Anne Bonny’ as his historical lover and partner to his exploits and adventures.

We intend the Anne Bonny to be our more luxurious boutique ship, hosting honeymoons, friends and family, also perfectly designed for accommodating higher-end retreats.

In the future, we plan to add Mary Read to the fleet. She will be our more adventurous vessel, dedicated to research & filming expeditions, upmarket surfing & diving trips and the exploration of unchartered territories.

The Team

The Characters that make up and create the spirit of Calico Jack are diverse and hail from Australia, the UK, France, Russia and of course, Indonesia.

All are dedicated to the Ocean and delivering a great experience for our guests.
Whether diving, snorkelling, free diving, surfing, yoga retreats, wilderness-trekking, bird-watching or a family adventure cruise, the crew revel in personalising cruises for their guests and ensuring an unforgettable experience.

Alongside our team of very experienced Instructors, dive masters and cruise directors, there are further crew members onboard, including 2 captains, 2 engineers, chefs, stewards and dive guides.

Each crew member has been well-trained to ensure their skills and performance meet the high standards of operation. Most of the crew have vast experience working on other liveaboards within the region and stay as long-term team members.

The crew revel in getting to know each guest personally, ensuring all individual needs are catered for whilst instilling their sense of adventure and sharing their enthusiasm and ambitions to create and live out the adventures they individually and collectively adore.
