The Pelagian - now cruising Wakatobi & Komodo!

The world-renowned Pelagian yacht is now under Wakatobi ownership and management. With its many years of stellar performance around the world this newly renovated vessel now offers two prime diving areas in Indonesia: the very popular Wakatobi region as well as the true and tested Komodo Marine Park.

With the Pelagian now under the Wakatobi group's umbrella her sought-after luxury and spaciousness is coupled with the quality and assurance of one of Indonesia's most reputable dive operations.

For you, Pelagian's new home means offering new and exciting diving opportunities in the extended Wakatobi region, the Banda Sea and Komodo. The much-researched Wakatobi area is home to some of the most prolific coral reefs in all of Indonesia and the Komodo park offers abundant marine life, dangerous dragons and more...

The Pelagian is now able to offer these exciting cruises, giving divers a rare opportunity to experience an incredible diversity of marine life not often seen because of the location's remote nature. If you want days on end of incredible reefs with an abundance of unique critters -- all while cruising, dining and lounging in total comfort, the Pelagian is your choice.

Adding to the allure of these two destinations are key Wakatobi-exclusive aspects like direct access through our own air charter service, gourmet cuisine, highly qualified instructor-level dive guides, marine conservation participation and the possibility to combine a cruise with a reduced-rate stay in Wakatobi Dive Resort.

Getting to the Pelagian is now easier than ever. For Wakatobi region cruises, you simply book your flight in to the convenient international hub of Bali and Wakatobi's private air service will take care of the rest. From Bali, our flight takes you into the Wakatobi area and our private airport. We've eliminated the last-minute rushes, long check-in lines and excess baggage charges--a convenience that no other liveaboard in Indonesia can offer you.

For Komodo or other select custom cruises, a local flight may be necessary. Either way, Wakatobi's expertise within Indonesia will help make your journey pleasant experience.

For many years, the Pelagian has widely been regarded as one of the premier dive dive yachts in the Southeast Asia / South Pacific region. During this time, she's earned an unparalleled reputation for quality operations and unique itineraries. Pelagian credits include numerous documentaries, features and stories in National Geographic, diving and travel magazines, and television productions around the world.

The Pelagian's spacious cabins comfortably accommodate twelve divers and she's one of the largest vessels in the industry for such a limited number of passengers. Pelagian guests never feel crowded, whether diving on the reef, mingling in the common areas, or relaxing in the cabins.

Best of all, because the Pelagian dive yacht is fully integrated into Wakatobi's award-winning marine conservation and community development programs, it will have exclusive access to the diving sites within the extended Wakatobi region. Wakatobi's pledge is to build upon the excellent reputation that the Pelagian has earned over the years. It would be our pleasure to have you as a guest.

Sample itineraries for the Pelagian

There are different sections of the greater Wakatobi area included in our itineraries as well as cruises from Wakatobi to Bima (including Komodo), Bima to Kupang (incl. Komodo) and Bima-based Komodo cruises). The 2006 schedule includes Wakatobi cruises for the first few months of the year, then Komodo cruises for the summer and again Wakatobi crusies for the fall.

The new greater Wakatobi cruises include:

• All Eastern and Southern islands: from Pulau Runduma to Pulau Moromaho
• The big reef (on the chart marked as Karang Kaledupa, but more than 50% belongs to Tomia)
• Buton diving muck diving in Pasarwajo Bay at Dongkala and possibly walls further South and North.

(Note: to give you an idea of the size of the region... the Wakatobi area is roughly 14 times larger than that of the more well-known Bunaken marine park in northern Sulawesi!)

Sample 11 night trip

Diving on the Pelagian includes the best of the resort dive sites plus exciting channel current diving, deep overhang and wall diving offered in the great Wakatobi region. It's a bit more adventurous setup that's ideal for experienced divers who would like to visit dive sites further away from the resort while being pampered on the Pelagian.

Note: All cruise routes are approximate and subject to the whims of nature. Routes may be changed without notice.
