About SEQUOIA

Custom-built for Coral Triangle adventures, SEQUOIA is a handcrafted wooden schooner designed to navigate the 18,000 islands of the Indonesian Archipelago with grace and purpose. Ideal for a family escape or a small group seeking deep connection, SEQUOIA offers a rare opportunity to step away from modern distractions and immerse yourself in one of the most biodiverse regions on the planet.

Blending traditional craftsmanship with modern marine technology, SEQUOIA features a low-consumption engine, eco-conscious sanitation systems, and lightweight materials that allow her to glide almost silently through the water. With a shallow draft of just two meters, she accesses secluded coves and pristine beaches that most yachts cannot, inviting you to uncover hidden corners of Indonesia far from the crowds.

On board you can complete your PADI open water diver course and PADI advanced open water diver course within the coral triangle

Inside, SEQUOIA’s three spacious suites, equivalent in comfort to a standard cabin-size yacht charter in Indonesia, are finished in polished hardwoods and soft organic textiles, creating an atmosphere of relaxed luxury. Expansive open and covered decks offer tranquil spaces to reconnect with loved ones, share stories under the stars, or simply absorb the rhythm of the sea.

But SEQUOIA is more than a luxury yacht; it’s a gateway to meaningful exploration. Whether hiking to dormant volcanoes, snorkelling in kaleidoscopic coral gardens, or diving with a certified PADI instructor, you’ll experience the beating heart of the Coral Triangle. Indonesia is the epicentre of this vibrant marine region, often described as the world’s "equator of biodiversity," and SEQUOIA places you right at the center of it.

Each charter is personalised to your group: learn traditional Indonesian tapestry techniques with the onboard seamstress, take part in cooking classes using local ingredients, or let the kids discover a love for marine biology through hands-on learning. This is not over-tourism. It’s not about sitting by the pool on your phone. It’s about participating, in conservation, in culture, and in moments that stay with you.

Guided by a ten-person Indonesian crew, including a cruise director, dive master, and a team with exceptional local knowledge, your journey is immersive and enriching. An experienced chef crafts meals using seasonal, locally sourced ingredients, and offers personalized cookery courses tailored to your tastes. From spotting flying foxes and macaques in lush rainforests to watching the coral glow in technicolor beneath the surface, SEQUOIA offers the kind of voyage that awakens the senses and inspires the soul.

SEQUOIA delivers a timeless experience, a floating home where family bonds deepen, nature teaches, and adventure becomes unforgettable.

Why we love it

SEQUOIA is a rare boutique yacht that blends top-tier safety, sustainability, and immersive ocean exploration. Built in Sulawesi to U.S. Coast Guard standards using marine-grade parts, it’s the only wooden yacht in Southeast Asia to meet these benchmarks. Service is personal and intuitive, with a private chef, dive instructor, and masseur onboard. You can become a certified PADI diver or even train as an instructor, freedive alongside reef “mermaids,” and take part in hands-on experiences like crafting personalized textiles using traditional Indonesian techniques. This is a true sea safari, immersive, cultural, and far off the beaten path; run by an all-Indonesian crew with deep local insight and a strong sustainability ethos.
