Exploring Indonesia Aboard Vela

With the backdrop of Indonesia’s most breathtaking seascapes, Vela is a yacht that brings together comfort, craftmanship and a true spirit of adventure. Whether you're sailing through the Komodo Islands, Raja Ampat or the Spice Islands, we think this is one of the most elegant and exciting ways to explore the Indonesian archipelago.

Accommodating up to 12 guests across six beautifully designed cabins, Vela is ideal for honeymooners, private groups or families. Each cabin has vast ocean views, elegant interiors and luxurious amenities. The master suite, with its private terrace and oversized bathroom, feels particularly indulgent. Meanwhile, the indoor-outdoor living areas, including a panoramic dining room and breezy sun deck, strike the perfect balance between relaxed and refined.

These are four things that sets Vela apart from the competition:

1. Space to breathe

The first thing you notice aboard Vela is the sense of space. She’s generously sized for a 12-passenger yacht, with large private cabins and open communal areas meaning guests can spread out, relax and never feel crowded. It’s rare to find a boat that feels this spacious, especially one that’s so tastefully done.

2. Thoughtfully curated experiences

Vela’s itineraries take in some of Indonesia’s most iconic destinations: the Komodo Islands, Raja Ampat, the Spice Islands, Alor and Maumere. The onboard team, including expert dive instructors and insightful local guides, tailor each journey to guest interests. From world-class diving to cultural encounters and remote island treks, there’s always something to discover.

3. Excellent food

Dining is one of the great pleasures of life aboard Vela. The onboard chefs strike an elegant balance between Indonesian flavours and international favourites, sourcing fresh, sustainable ingredients wherever possible. Meals feel relaxed but thoughtful, whether you’re dining al fresco under the stars or enjoying a long, lazy breakfast with sea views.

4. A warm and capable crew

The crew are what truly elevate the Vela experience. Attentive without being overbearing, they create a relaxed atmosphere while delivering a high level of professionalism. Everything runs smoothly from early morning snorkels to evening cocktails, thanks to a team that clearly knows how to anticipate their guests’ needs.

For those looking to explore Indonesia’s natural beauty and cultural depth with ease and elegance, Vela is one of the most compelling yachts in the region.
