Experience East Indonesia in style aboard Aqua Blu, a beautifully restored 60-meter explorer yacht and the first long-range vessel of its kind permanently based in the region. Originally built as a British naval ship and transformed into a modern luxury yacht with five decks and 15 individually-designed cabins, Aqua Blu seamlessly blends naval heritage with contemporary comfort. Elegant indoor and outdoor social spaces invite you to relax after days of adventure, while innovative cuisine curated by renowned chef Benjamin Cross draws inspiration from Indonesia’s legendary spice trade. Aqua Blu is equipped with advanced stabilizers for smooth sailing and led by expert crew and guides.
While Bali and the Komodo Islands enjoy warm, tropical climates year-round, the seasons shape both the landscapes and experiences.
