This regular maintenance includes thorough inspections, repairs, and upgrades, ensuring that each vessel not only meets but exceeds safety standards.

Rensje: The Jewel of Our Fleet

Rensje, named affectionately after the mother of the Oceans 5 Gili Air owner, is a prime example of our commitment to maintaining high-quality facilities. Since her arrival on Gili Air in 2009, Rensje has been a symbol of our fleet's resilience and adaptability.

Rensje stands out with her impressive dimensions of 18 meters tall and 3 meters in width. Crafted from the finest Indonesian wood, she embodies both strength and elegance. This boat is a testament to skilled craftsmanship and the rich maritime tradition of Indonesia.

Transformations Over the Years

Over the years, Rensje has undergone several transformations, each aimed at enhancing safety and comfort. Notably, the bamboo outriggers were removed to improve stability and safety. Additionally, the captain's seat was upgraded to ensure better control and comfort during navigation.

Location and Accessibility

All our boats, including Rensje, are conveniently located just in front of Oceans 5 Gili Air. This strategic positioning ensures easy access throughout the day, regardless of the tide. Moreover, their proximity to our dive shop allows our captains to keep a vigilant eye on them, particularly during adverse weather conditions.

Our yearly maintenance routine involves a comprehensive checklist:

  1. Structural Integrity Checks: We rigorously inspect the hull, deck, and other structural components for any signs of wear or damage.

  2. Engine and Mechanical Systems: The engines undergo thorough servicing to ensure they are running optimally. This includes oil changes, filter replacements, and checks on cooling systems.

  3. Safety Equipment: All safety gear, including life jackets, flares, and communication devices, are checked and replaced or upgraded as needed.

  4. Cosmetic Upgrades: We also focus on the aesthetic aspect, ensuring that Rensje retains her charming appearance. This includes varnishing, painting, and other cosmetic repairs.

  5. Comfort Enhancements: We continually look for ways to improve the comfort of our guests. This includes upgrading seating, shading, and onboard amenities.

Commitment to Environmental Sustainability

In maintaining our boats, we also emphasize environmental responsibility. We use eco-friendly materials and practices to minimize our ecological footprint, ensuring that our operations harmoniously coexist with the marine environment.
