Sequoia

Sequoia stands out as one of Indonesia's most luxurious, safe, and advanced yachts. Her owner dedicated four years to overseeing every detail of her bespoke construction, resulting in a 26-meter hand-crafted wooden schooner tailored for navigating Indonesia's 18,000-island archipelago.

Sequoia cruises through the biodiverse waters of West Papua, the Molucca, and the Lesser Sunda Islands, where around 1,000 fish species thrive among 500 coral varieties. Whale sharks and manta rays are frequent sights. As a PADI dive center, Sequoia offers easy access to three of the world’s premier dive sites.

Blending traditional craftsmanship with modern marine technology, Sequoia uses low-consumption engines, generators, and eco-friendly sanitation systems to keep her environmental impact low. Advanced materials also ensure quiet sailing, and the yacht is free of single-use plastics.

Her unique accommodations include three opulent cabins, each featuring an HD flat-screen television, Bluetooth speaker, and an en suite bathroom. The master suite on the sky deck offers a timeless teak and rattan king-sized bed, while the two guest cabins, the ‘Island Suite’ and ‘Ocean Suite,’ can be configured as twin or double beds and feature intricate hand-crafted details.

Sequoia also has abundant social spaces. The sky deck, refitted in 2018, provides cushioned sunpads with a 270-degree view of the stunning seas and skies. Guests can also enjoy the library and an alfresco dining area perfect for relaxed meals.

The main deck’s open-air ‘Great Room’ has teak-louvered doors, inviting the ocean breeze for an airy ambiance. It serves as a gathering space for dining, planning, or simply enjoying the view around a large teak table at any hour.

With a crew of ten, all Indonesian, Sequoia’s team includes a cruise manager, butler, and dive master, each with deep local knowledge of the islands, sites, and reefs. The yacht is fully equipped with speedboats and nine dive sets, including two for children, and offers a selection of paddleboards, kayaks, and games to engage younger guests.

The chef excels in using fresh local ingredients to create dishes like otak-otak and prawn sambal, catering to all dietary preferences. The well-stocked wine cellar includes Napa Valley and Burgundy vintages.

Designed with safety and eco-consciousness in mind, Sequoia meets rigorous US Coast Guard safety standards, unique among Indonesian yachts, and adheres to EPA Tier 2 and Tier 3 emission standards.
