Simply luxurious. That’s the
Pelagian.
She’s exceedingly spacious and elegant, tastefully
decorated, and completely air-conditioned, of course.
On board this unique vessel, you’ll feel as if you’re vacationing
in a spa resort rather than cruising on a dive
liveaboard.

Pelagian was built in Norway,
designed to be an elegant world-ranging, comfortable and
stable motor yacht. Over the years she has been rebuilt,
upgraded and improved many times, most recently at the
start of 2009.

divers to a maximum of 10), loads of deck space,
multiple lounges and dining spaces and tons of space for

work.

Pelagian's cruising route, which includes
exclusive access to the diving sites in the extended
Wakatobi region,
in southeast Sulawesi, is fully-integrated into Wakatobi's award-winning marine conservation and
community development programs.

Pindito |
|
For many divers, the
Pindito has been a favorite since she first set sail back in 1992. She was sheer adventure . . . and although she didn’t offer all of the creature comforts sought by those looking for that exquisite combination of luxury and adventure, she was a great dive boat.
Recent renovations to this beautiful vessel have upgraded her amenities – with en-suite facilities in every cabin – putting her in a comfort class for all.
A 124-foot wood-hull schooner built in the traditional Indonesian fashion, the
Pindito was the first major dive boat to make the waters of
Raja Ampat her home. Her owner/captain,
Edi Frommenwiler says that he followed his instincts in exploring the
Raja Ampat area . . and those instincts were impeccable.
Captain Edi helped to lead the way to opening up the best dive sites in the waters of
West Papua /
Raja Ampat . . . plus the
Moluccas &
Nusa Tenggara . . . and is almost certainly the most experienced captain you can sail with in those areas.
17 Indonesian crewmembers and 3 multi-lingual European Dive Guides will join forces on the
Pindito to make your experience, on board and in these fascinating waters, an unforgettable voyage.
