## Overview

Cheng Ho commands attention in any anchorage simply by the fact of its scale. At 33.15 meters, constructed from Borneo ironwood — the most durable timber available to Indonesian boatbuilders — this vessel is among the largest in the dive-cruise fleet and carries itself with the unhurried confidence that only genuine mass provides. Up to twenty-six guests are distributed across its layout without the compression that plagues smaller liveaboards, and the Yanmar six-cylinder engine delivers twelve knots of reliable passage even in the confused seas that Komodo's tidal passages generate. The professional crew is scaled to the vessel, not to a budget — sufficient hands to manage diving operations, meal service, and overnight watch without anyone performing two jobs simultaneously. When the Sape Strait builds afternoon swells that test smaller boats, Cheng Ho barely registers them. KomodoExplorer Indonesia recommends Cheng Ho for large groups and serious divers who want a liveaboard experience that the ocean's temperament cannot diminish.
