Aqua Blu

Aqua Blu is the first ever long-range ocean explorer yacht permanently based in East Indonesia. With a grand naval pedigree and the ability to cover vast distances in a short time frame, she is perfectly poised to navigate the region’s expansive seas and provide access to some of the world’s best dive and snorkel sites in the legendary Coral Triangle.

Just under 200 feet long and featuring 14 individually designed suites, the Aqua Blu offers an intimate environment that reflects its history as a former British naval explorer and a private yacht for a European aristocratic family

A 2019 refurbishment by renowned Dutch yacht designer Cor D. Rover brought this refined vessel up to world-class cruising specifications, blending modern luxury with ultimate comfort and safety

Enjoy an innovative menu curated by renowned chef Benjamin Cross which draws inspiration from Indonesia’s fabled spice trade route as well as European and Mediterranean cuisines

Exceptional amenities, including an outdoor workout area and hot tub a stylish lounge bar, and a tranquil spa featuring Balinese massage and aromatherapy, elevate and enhance your time exploring this wild and stunningly beautiful region
