Extraordinary summer vacations are making vacationers put down their beach read to refocus on the road less travelled.

Voyage to Nowhere

Travellers can now be Gulliver, or their own captains of the sea, setting sail on a summer voyage to unchartered waters. All thanks to Rascal Voyages, which provides an adventure of a lifetime on board a luxurious and contemporary 30m yacht, the sailing experience involves exploration of the thousands of islands in the Indonesian archipelago.

Rascal reinvented the Indonesian phinisi hull architecture with cutting-edge design and technology to transform the traditional sailing boat into a safe and modern yacht equipped with five-star hospitality such as Indonesian and Western fine dining, bar services complete with professional barman, and a one-to-one crew-to-guest ratio.

On board the superyacht, guests can soak up the sun and enjoy unparalleled view of turquoise waters, meandering bays, and lush forested islands. A voyage is only complete with an expedition. Hence, the adventure continues off the yacht, where guests can trek up a volcano, tour mangrove swamps, and observe Komodo dragons at the various national parks. Such adventures forge vivid memories and certainly beats sitting on the beach with sand stuck in cracks one never knew existed.
