Wellenreng Liveaboard, Indonesia

The Wellenreng liveaboard blends the spirit of Indonesian wooden boatbuilding with the intimacy of small-group exploration. This 25-metre Phinisi carries only three guest cabins, allowing the Wellenreng Indonesia liveaboard to remain quiet, unhurried, and ideally suited for families, private groups, and divers who value space and privacy. With nine crew members, including the cruise director, the experience remains highly personal as the yacht travels through remote regions of Indonesia.

Cabin Types

Each of the three cabins is designed for comfort across long itineraries in the archipelago. The master cabin includes a king bed, while the two additional cabins feature queen beds. Every room has an additional single bed, individually controlled air-conditioning, daylight portholes, and a small desk with bedside reading lights. Hot-water en-suite bathrooms provide a private and comfortable setting after long days on the water, complemented by high-quality linens, personal bathrobes, a safe for valuables, and toiletries.

Boat Interior

Inside, the MV Wellenreng liveaboard features an indoor salon arranged for dining or leisure on days when guests prefer shade. A small library includes fish and bird identification books, adding a quiet place for learning between excursions. Throughout the yacht, the design highlights the warmth of wood, the practicality of open circulation, and the relaxed atmosphere typical of Indonesian sailing vessels.

Dive Deck

The Wellenreng liveaboard Indonesia is fully equipped for dedicated scuba itineraries. Nitrox is included, and divers can expect three to four dives per day, including night dives. A 7-metre fiberglass dinghy fitted with individual seats, tank holders, and twin 40-hp engines serves as the main tender, offering smooth access to remote sites. Tanks are available in 12L and 15L aluminum DIN/INT configurations. Freshwater rinse tanks support both equipment and camera maintenance, while a hot-water shower on the dive deck makes post-dive transitions comfortable. Small dive groups led by a local guide keep the experience focused and precise.

Safety

Essential safety equipment includes oxygen and first-aid supplies for emergency response. The vessel remains structured for itineraries in regions with changing conditions, supported by its experienced crew and operational procedures.

Non-Diving Activities

Beyond the water, the MV Wellenreng liveaboard Indonesia accommodates a range of activities such as snorkelling, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding. The shaded observation deck, outfitted with beanbags and generous seating, becomes a central place to enjoy Indonesian sunsets or simply rest in the breeze. A dedicated sundeck with lounge chairs and cushions provides additional outdoor space.

Itineraries

The yacht sails two primary regions: Komodo National Park and Raja Ampat, each offering distinct landscapes and underwater environments.

In Komodo, itineraries run for twelve days and explore volcanic islands, white-sand beaches, rugged coastlines, and UNESCO-listed protected areas. Underwater, guests encounter a mix of pelagic and macro life. Dive sites range from canyons and underwater mounds to sloping reefs and steep walls. Water temperatures vary from 22°C in the south to 29°C in the north, and visibility ranges from 15 to 30 metres. Marine life commonly includes manta rays, reef sharks, giant trevallies, nudibranchs, schooling fish, turtles, groupers, dolphins, and octopus. Trips start and end in Labuan Bajo.

In Raja Ampat, the Wellenreng Indonesia route travels through the heart of the Coral Triangle, a region known for some of the highest marine biodiversity on the planet. With more than 1,500 species of reef fish, hundreds of coral species, and nutrient-rich waters supporting manta rays, wobbegong sharks, trevallies, turtles, and schools of pelagic fish, the itinerary offers a dense range of encounters. Visibility often reaches 20–30 metres, with water temperatures around 29°C. Trips begin and end in Sorong and run for thirteen days.
