WAOW was known as the ultimate dive ship in Indonesia,
offering pristine diving and luxurious service. We are now creating WAOW 2 to carry on her legacy.
WAOW 2 will start sailing in 2028. WAOW is a three masted sailing vessel, constructed entirely from wood using traditional methods, evoking the southern seas, freedom, adventure, comfort, quality and style. All to be shared by those going to sea on her. With ten cabins for the guests, crew accommodation, dive equipment, multi media equipment and dream destinations, we wish to achieve dreams for al
l those aboard. WAOW is principally set up as a dive charter vessel. However, she is also available for charters such as:
- Theme voyages such as photography or marine biology, accompanied by experts in these fields.
- Company seminars and team building.
- Custom made voyages for families and groups.
- Honeymoon cruises.
- Other charter reasons corresponding to the capacities of the vessel. Charter operations began in April 2012 in Indonesia, an archipelago made up of over 17'000 islands. Our 17 different itineraries includes the following areas :
Komodo - Flores - Alor - Forgotten Islands - Banda Sea - Seram Sea - Papua (Triton Bay - Misool - Raja Ampat - Cenderawashi) - Halmahera - Sulawesi (Sangihe - Togian - Banggaï) - Wakatobi National Park. WAOW has 10 cabins available catering for a guest list of 20 passengers. The daybed in each cabin (90X200cm) can also be used for a third person per cabin, or for twin share purposes. With this charter configuration, WAOW can have a capacity of up to 24 passengers. Each of the cabins is luxurious, spacious and provides all of the amenities expected of a vessel of this standing. They all have private bathrooms with separate shower, separate WC, air conditioning, desk, entertainment system and LED lighting. The disposition of the cabins is as follows:
- 6 “Deluxe” cabins each of approx. 24m2 located below the main deck. This is a size well above that proposed on most charter vessels, especially sailing vessels. In 4 of the 6 Deluxe cabins the double bed can be converted into 2 seperated single beds.
