A sailing yacht with a true boutique character. Full of charm, it offers a high level of comfort and service while maintaining a relaxed and convivial atmosphere on board.

The highlight is the two owner’s cabins at the rear, both with private balconies. The layout has been thoughtfully designed with a strong focus on space, privacy and comfort. There is ample space to relax, with both indoor and outdoor lounges, indoor and outdoor dining areas, and a generous sky deck, allowing guests to enjoy quiet moments whenever they wish. The crew is outstanding, the service on board is excellent, and the chef and barmaid are exceptional.

What we particularly like about this yacht:

  • Multiple indoor and outdoor areas allowing guests to enjoy private moments at any time
  • Two owner cabins with private balconies
  • Snorkeler- and diver-friendly, with dedicated supervision and equipment

Cruising for 8 days or longer: Central and Northern Raja Ampat … or … Central and Southern Raja Ampat?
 

This yacht offers 8- or 10-day cruises with different focuses.

8-day cruises: Central & North … or … only the South

8 days are usually dedicated to an itinerary in the central and northern regions of Raja Ampat. You visit world class reefs, go ashore to visit local villages, take part in a jungle trek at dawn to try to spot the endemic birds of paradise, discover mangroves and picturesque bays, climb up for the panoramic views of Piaynemo and Wayag, snorkel and dive alongside beautiful manta rays in plankton-rich waters, and spend leisure moments on the idyllic beach setups. A well-rounded experience of all Raja Ampat highlights, either above or below the water.

8 days of cruising can also be fully dedicated to the discovery of the southern region of Raja Ampat. This itinerary places slightly more emphasis on underwater experiences. You explore the Misool Islands, which shelter some of the most beautiful reefs of the archipelago. You snorkel and dive among colorful, dense, and lively coral gardens, with a profusion of gorgonians and soft corals.  There is also a high chance of seeing mantas. Shore excursions usually include a visit to Tomolol Cave, to the fascinating Jellyfish Lake, and to the stunning Love Lake panorama.

10-day cruises: Central & North … or … Central & South

If your schedule allows for a 10-day cruise, you can enjoy an extended itinerary with even more experiences and underwater adventures.

A 10-day cruise in North and Central Raja Ampat follows the same itinerary as above, with additional opportunities to dive and snorkel with manta rays and turtles, and an extra visit to a local village. You will also go on a hiking tour to discover the waterfalls of the Batanta Island.

A 10-day cruise in Central and Southern Raja Ampat is based on the 8-day Southern itinerary above, but you also visit the world-class reefs of the Kri Peninsula and climb to the panoramic viewpoints of Piaynemo Island in the central area.

Snorkeling and diving included. Private cabin with AC: Various categories available. Meals: Full board.
