Operated by the famous Wakatobi Dive Resort, the Pelagian liveaboard yacht delivers a highly personalized cruise experience with a crew of 12 staff catering to just 10guests. This 115-foot yacht ventures to remote islands that offer a mix of Indonesia’s best, from pristine reefs and coral-covered walls to muck dives full of curiosities. Pelagian offers four room categories: the master suite; the Super lux cabins that of-fer a king bed not pushed up against a wall but with aisles on both sides of the bed for ease and comfort; the Deluxe cabin with two beds and its own private-access stairwell; and the Standard cabin with two twin beds.

In the water, guests dive in groups of no more than five people. Such small dive groups allow for a more personalized experience, with guides offering plenty of attention to each guest so that at every site, you see as many wonders as possible. Pelagian also offers a dedicated camera and photography workspace, allowing more room to spread out, set up gear, recharge batteries and download images. The food is also next level. Meals include options such as tuna sashimi and local curries. Menus showcase a mix of Western favorites and Asian and Indonesian cuisine. Dietary preferences, allergies or restrictions—including vegetarian, veganor gluten-free—are easily accommodated. Every charter runs seven-night cruises of the seldom-visited corners of the Wakatobi Regency. Pelagian can also be booked for private charter, allowing groups to determine their own itinerary for the week, spending more time at sites that they find most entrancing.

On Board Highlight

The impressive master suite spans the width of the boat, occupying the bow of the main deck, and offers unparalleled space and luxury. There is a king size bed for restful sleep, a lounge with a love seat to watch videos on an HD TV or listen to music, a desk to work on a laptop in total privacy, and a spacious bathroom with rain shower. This special cabin, which feels like a hotel suite, is highly prized, booking up to a year in advance.
