The Seven Seas is a 33 meter, traditionally built Indonesian sailing schooner that has set new standards for luxury adventure charters in Indonesia. Custom-designed to comfortably accommodate up to 16 guests in 8 spacious state rooms with en-suite bathrooms, she is perfect for cruising, island hopping, diving and relaxation. The Seven Seas features the latest diving and safety equipment, 3 speed boats and satellite communication, all of which means that we can sail where we want in comfort and in confidence. This ship and its operations are run by a wonderful Indonesian crew of 14 plus 1 or 2 Western Cruise Directors, all of whom are very experienced, well trained, professional, attentive and safety conscious.
Our team has decades of experience with organizing and implementing adventure cruises both in Indonesia and on the World’s Oceans. We have the vessel and the crew of choice for custom-designed luxury adventure charters – with World Class diving available as one of the optional activities (next to snorkeling, beach activities, sea kayaking, cultural tours, nature hikes, fishing, etc etc). Many successful private charters have been completed on the Seven Seas in recent years, with many hundreds of guests in total, including the wealthy and famous ones who appreciate the adventure in comfort, privacy and safety like no others. Take a look at some of the 417 testimonials on http://www.thesevenseas.net/guestbook/ to learn more from a sample of our guests.
What we promise is a high quality adventure holiday on a spectacular yacht built from the finest Indonesian ironwood. Beautiful and functional teak furniture in the main lounge and cabins, and multiple shaded lounging areas on the upper deck ensure an extremely comfortable cruise. The Seven Seas has twin masts that are rigged with 7 sails in the traditional Buginese Phinisi style. In a stiff breeze she sails with a maximum speed of 5 knots. Alternatively, the 450hp diesel engine ensures she makes her destination, cruising at a comfortable 7 to 9 knots, depending on currents and weather. The Seven Seas is based in Bali, Indonesia, and is fully insured for hull and passengers. Cruise itineraries are possible throughout Indonesia, focusing mostly on the stunning islands and coral reefs of the East.
The rooms, main dining room, and deck areas are all wonderfully arranged. The Seven Seas currently features four double & four twin state rooms in which we can accommodate a maximum of 16 guests. All bedrooms are finished to a high standard and come with king size beds in the doubles and large single beds in the twins. The en-suite bathrooms have powerful hot and cold water showers, hot and cold water wash basins, full sized WC and hairdryer. The main lounge and inside dining areas is fully air-conditioned but all windows can be fully opened to let the breeze through. Two double cabins are situated on the upper deck, commanding panoramic views from the windows. A shaded lounging area aft on the upper deck, as well as shaded lounge beds in front of the wheelhouse are great areas for sunsets and cocktails. The spacious dive deck, multiple compressors, fully equipped dive shops, comfortable speed boats and first rate dive guides promise you a World Class diving experience and 6 double sea kayaks are available for further adventures. The state-of-the-art galley serves mouth-watering buffets & a selection of fine wines to complete the experience.
