From the setting to the decor and choice of dishes, we aim to offer you a dining experience unlike any other liveaboard experience.

Our food is plentiful, fresh, and centered on local and flown-in ingredients. Our internationally trained chefs add their own touch of magic, drawing inspiration from local and international cuisine. In addition to mouth-watering buffet spreads, we also offer a-la-carte choices with daily menu changes.

Here’s a quick sample of what recent guests had to say about the food on the Arenui (read more HERE):

 “Food outstanding. Best service than most 5* restaurants in USA.” 17 Feb 2014: Craig, USA

“Rarely does a trip live up to expectations set by the website destination. The Arenui website is a little hard to believe because it makes claims about the diving service and accommodation that seem impossible to achieve.Yet everything presented on the website is in fact true. I can’t imagine another dive boat that can match the Arenui. Food; variety offered meant that we never had to have the same meal twice. Everything produced by the kitchen was to high standard.” 7 Feb 2014: John, USA

“We have had a spectacular adventure with all of you on the Arenui – you have set the bar for liveboards right out of the gate: very high quality. The captain and the crew kept us on course while the chefs made us gain weight. The meals were so delicious and the presentation was ‘wow’ each and every night. Our incredible stewards Anto and Bayu remembered us from the beginning, didn’t mix up orders and made us fell like part of a family.” 16 May 2013: Kathy and Sheldon, USA

“Exceptional experience – truly a trip of a lifetime! The food; Putu and his team are geniuses! The best menu selection we have had in many years!” 26 April 2013: Ryan, USA and Eliza, Brazil

“I cannot return soon enough! The perfect blend of flexible, yet very well run and organised operation. You could tell that each and every person loved their jobs and were like a family. What a wonderful selection of people that truly made a team. The food; like dining in a five star restaurant each night!” 26 April 2013: Barbara, USA

“The food; chefs did a fabulous job: especially dealing with special requests!!” 31 March 2013: Stacy, USA
