Sailing Indonesia, Anambas Islands sailing, navigating shallow reefs, boat life vlog, sailing family Liveaboard sailboat life, reef navigation sailing, sailing without charts, cruising Southeast Asia, off grid island life Sailing through the Anambas Islands in Indonesia comes with incredible beauty—and real challenges. In this episode, we navigate shallow reefs, explore remote islands, and experience true liveaboard sailboat life. After exploring Moonrock Bay and EcoSymbiosis in our previous episode, we continue our journey through Anambas, slowing down to enjoy the raw beauty of island life. From crystal-clear waters to vibrant coral reefs, this is what sailing Indonesia is all about. We spend the day diving and snorkeling in untouched reefs, while Gaurav takes on freediving lessons with Aaron from SV Moyana. What started as a chance meeting has now turned into family at sea, making this journey even more special. But sailing in Indonesia isn’t easy. While navigating from Moonrock Bay to Terampa, we face a sudden mainsail issue when the clew pin breaks mid-sail. Out here, in remote waters, there’s no quick fix—you rely on your skills and teamwork. Navigating shallow reefs in Indonesia is one of the biggest challenges for sailors. With outdated charts and unpredictable depths, we often sail using Google Maps and visual navigation—with Vaidehi guiding from the bow to safely pass through reef-filled waters. Back in Terampa, the reality of boat life kicks in—boat repairs, daily chores, and managing essentials. With no washing machine onboard, we hand over a month’s laundry to a local service, adapting to life in remote island communities. This is off-grid sailing life—unfiltered, unpredictable, and deeply rewarding. 👉 Subscribe and follow our journey as we sail across the world, one island at a time. 📸 Instagram: @thereevaproject 📘 Facebook: The Reeva Project #SailingIndonesia #AnambasIslands #BoatLife #Liveaboard #SailingFamily #ReefNavigation #Freediving #OceanLife #SlowTravel #TheReevaProject

Sailing Indonesia | Anambas Islands | Hidden Island Paradise | Liveaboard Sailing Life. Our journey through the Anambas Islands, Indonesia, continues to reveal more hidden gems. Join us on a journey to a remote, scenic island where we explore sustainable living and volunteer opportunities. Witness firsthand a solar installation powering a unique off grid lifestyle, harmonizing with the surrounding forest. This eco friendly initiative showcases practical steps towards a more sustainable future. This week, we are anchored at Pulau Samak. From our anchorage, we decided to explore the island’s famous Moon Rock. Thankfully the climb wasn’t too tough (even though Vee isn’t the biggest fan of climbing 😄). But once we reached the top, the panoramic view over the Anambas islands was absolutely out of this world — turquoise water, untouched islands, and reefs in every direction. Next, we dinghied across to the island opposite us to visit EcoSymbiosis, a small off-grid eco retreat run by Antje and her daughters. Since 2018, they’ve been creating a simple, sustainable space for travelers looking to reconnect with nature. What we loved most was how thoughtfully everything is built — open bungalows without walls, composting toilets, minimal impact living, and a deep respect for the island ecosystem. This is a kind of place where families can slow down and experience island life in its most natural form, one can Detox or apply as a volunteer if it sparks your fancy.

In this week’s episode, we’re still anchored at beautiful Moon Rock Bay in the Anambas Islands, Indonesia and honestly, we can’t think of a better way to spend a Monday. Instead of traffic and deadlines, it’s beach barbecues and turquoise water. We head ashore with our friends on SV Moyana for another fantastic BBQ by the sea. Good food, good company, and the kind of slow island life that makes you question what Mondays are supposed to look like. After lunch, we take the dinghy out to a nearby reef for more snorkeling and once again, the marine life in Anambas does not disappoint. Vibrant coral, crystal-clear visibility, and thriving underwater life remind us why sailing Indonesia feels so special. This episode captures the simple joy of liveaboard sailing friendship, reef exploration, island sunsets, and redefining what a normal week should feel like. Join us as we share the real side living fulltime on a sailboat , as we continue exploring Indonesia aboard SV Reeva. 👉 Follow our journey: 📸 Instagram: @thereevaproject 📘 Facebook: The Reeva Project Music : Epidemic Sound #IndianSailingFamily, #SailingIndonesia, #AnambasIslands, #MoonRockBay, #TravelVlog, #BoatLife, #LiveaboardLife, #SnorkelingAdventure, #IslandLife, #FamilyTravel, #SailingVlog,

In this episode, we continue our journey as an Indian sailing family exploring the remote islands of Indonesia and this time we sail into the stunning Moon Rock Bay in Anambas, Indonesia Our day starts with an incredible snorkeling session where we spot four to five baby sharks swimming gracefully around the reef. Seeing sharks up close is always thrilling they look powerful, elegant, and surprisingly peaceful in their natural habitat. We then motor sail about 6.5 nautical miles to a shallow anchorage filled with coral patches. With charts not always reliable in this region, we carefully navigate by reading water colors — a true sailor skill that keeps things exciting. Boat life continues underway as we bake fresh homemade pizza, anchor safely, and spend the afternoon jumping between buddy boats, snorkeling vibrant reefs, and freediving and laughing over food taste off challenges . Moments like these remind us why we love this liveaboard sailing life. This episode is full of adventure, learning, and the simple joy of exploring Indonesia by sailboat.

This week, our adventure gets wilder as we continue buddy boating through the raw, untouched beauty of Indonesia — where shallow reefs keep us on our toes and every island feels like a brand-new world waiting to surprise us. One anchorage brings insane snorkeling, another hides waterfalls deep in the jungle, and somewhere in between we’re sharing laughs, beach BBQs, and swapping stories with locals who live simply and generously by the sea. A pair of fishermen paddle up with the freshest catch, reminding us how different — and beautiful — island life can be. Then comes the moment we didn’t expect… we jump in for a casual snorkel and suddenly find ourselves surrounded by not one, not two — but FOUR baby sharks gliding past. Pure adrenaline. Pure magic. Throw in a hilarious chyawanprash vs Vegemite taste test, golden sunsets, and sailing with friends, and this episode becomes everything we love about boat life — unpredictable, humbling, and wildly alive.

In the last episode, you saw how we officially checked into the Anambas Islands, Indonesia — a smooth and simple process thanks to Isky, our local agent, who helped coordinate customs, immigration, health, and harbour authorities so everything went seamlessly. You can whatsapp Isky at +62 812-6834-4549 Once ashore in Terempa, the first thing we noticed was the slow pace of island life and the natural beauty all around us. This is a small town with a big heart. Many locals live in houses built on stilts over the ocean, and everyday life here is far from easy — with groceries and provisions arriving only by ferry after an 8-hour journey. We sampled the famous Mie Terempa noodles at a cozy little café and later caught up with our friends aboard Sailing Vessel Moyana. The plan? Buddy boating through these stunning Indonesian islands together. The very next morning we lifted anchor to begin exploring the Anambas archipelago — but not before discovering a huge rope tangled around our anchor chain! While Gaurav motored slowly ahead, Vee jumped into action and cut the rope free, clearing us to continue. On the way, we headed toward a jungle waterfall and treated ourselves to some incredible boat-oven pizzas — proof that good food is always part of life aboard SV Reeva 🍕⛵. We finally arrived near Temburna Waterfall, where we’d heard rumours of a legendary seafood restaurant… and wow — were we in for a surprise! The next day, we took the dinghy ashore and hiked up to the waterfall, which flows all year round. Surrounded by jungle and fresh water, it was the perfect start to our Indonesian island adventure. This episode is part of our ongoing travel vlog series as an Indian sailing family, sharing what it’s really like to explore Southeast Asia by sailboat — from official check-ins and provisioning to hidden waterfalls, new friendships, and slow island living. 👉 Follow our journey: 📸 Instagram: @thereevaproject 📘 Facebook: The Reeva Project -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- इस ट्रैवल व्लॉग में हमारी Indian Sailing Family – The Reeva Project अनंबास द्वीपसमूह, इंडोनेशिया में ज़िंदगी की असली झलक दिखा रही है। टेरेंपा में चेक-इन के बाद हम इस छोटे लेकिन दिल से बड़े कस्बे को एक्सप्लोर करते हैं — जहाँ समुद्र के ऊपर बने घर, धीमी रफ्तार ज़िंदगी और अनोखी खूबसूरती आपका दिल जीत लेगी। हम मशहूर मी तेरेम्पा नूडल्स चखते हैं, दोस्तों के साथ buddy boating की प्लानिंग करते हैं और जंगल के बीच बने एक शानदार झरने तक पहुँचते हैं। यह एपिसोड है हमारे इंडोनेशिया सफर का एक और खूबसूरत अध्याय — एक travel vlog by an Indian sailing family। #thereevaproject #sailingindonesia #anambasislands #boatlife #liveaboardlife #indiansailors #svreeva #southchinasea #indiansailingfamily #CruisingLife #thereevaproject #lifeatsea

After last week’s episode, where you saw us sailing through a sudden squall in the South China Sea, we finally arrived at Tarempa, the capital of the Anambas Islands, Indonesia, aboard our sailboat SV Reeva. One of the most common questions we receive as a liveaboard sailing family is: How do sailboats check into another country? In this episode, we explain how to enter Indonesia by sailboat, covering the full Indonesia immigration process for yachts, especially in a remote cruising destination like Anambas Islands. To make the international boat clearance smooth, we took the help of a local Indonesia sailing agent. In Indonesia, the customs and immigration clearance for sailboats happens onboard. Government officials visit the yacht, including Port Control / Harbour Master (who checks boat registration and safety documents), the Health Inspector, Customs, and Immigration officials. Once all boat papers and passports are verified, our passports are taken ashore and returned with official Indonesian entry stamps. With clearance complete, we are legally checked into Indonesia and ready to continue our sailing adventure in Southeast Asia. The Anambas Islands are one of Indonesia’s hidden sailing paradises, known for crystal-clear waters, untouched coral reefs, quiet anchorages, and pristine island life. This episode marks the true beginning of our Indonesia sailing journey. Join us as we share the real side of boat life, cross-border sailing, and life on a sailboat, as we continue exploring Indonesia aboard SV Reeva. 👉 Follow our journey: 📸 Instagram: @the_reeva_project 📘 Facebook: The Reeva Project -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- पिछले हफ्ते के एपिसोड में आपने देखा था कि कैसे हम एक तेज़ स्क्वॉल से गुज़रते हुए आगे बढ़े, और अब हम पहुँच चुके हैं तेरेंपा, जो अनाम्बास आइलैंड्स, इंडोनेशिया की राजधानी है। हमसे सबसे ज़्यादा पूछा जाने वाला सवाल है — नाव से किसी नए देश में एंट्री कैसे करते हैं? इस एपिसोड में हम आपको दिखाते हैं कि इंडोनेशिया में सेलिंग बोट का चेक-इन प्रोसेस कैसे होता है, खासकर अनाम्बास जैसे दूर-दराज़ इलाके में। इस प्रक्रिया को आसान बनाने के लिए हमने एक लोकल एजेंट की मदद ली। इंडोनेशिया में सरकारी अधिकारी खुद नाव पर आकर चेक करते हैं — जिसमें पोर्ट कंट्रोल / हार्बर मास्टर (नाव के काग़ज़ात), हेल्थ इंस्पेक्टर, कस्टम्स और इमिग्रेशन शामिल होते हैं। सभी डॉक्यूमेंट्स चेक होने के बाद हमारे पासपोर्ट पर इंडोनेशिया की एंट्री स्टैम्प लगती है और फिर हम आधिकारिक रूप से देश में प्रवेश कर लेते हैं। अनाम्बास आइलैंड्स इंडोनेशिया का एक बेहद शांत और खूबसूरत द्वीप समूह है — साफ़ पानी, अनछुआ नेचर और सुकून भरा जीवन। यह एपिसोड हमारे इंडोनेशियन एडवेंचर की असली शुरुआत है। हमारे साथ जुड़िए इस सफ़र में — जहाँ हैं सीमाएँ पार करना, काग़ज़ी कार्यवाही और असली बोट लाइफ़। ⛵🌊 Sailing into Indonesia Anambas Islands Indonesia Terempa Anambas Sailboat immigration process How to check into Indonesia by boat South China Sea sailing Liveaboard sailing couple Sailing vlog India The Reeva Project SV Reeva #thereevaproject #sailingindonesia #anambasislands #boatlife #liveaboardlife #indiansailors #svreeva #southchinasea #indiansailingfamily #CruisingLife #thereevaproject #lifeatsea

After spending three beautiful weeks exploring the Tioman Islands, Malaysia, we finally set sail towards Terempa, Anambas Islands, Indonesia. This episode captures our 140 nautical mile passage across the South China Sea, with a planned stop at Jemaja Island, one of the larger islands in the Anambas archipelago. As we sailed, Vee took the night watch under a stunning full moon — one of those magical sailing moments that the camera simply can’t do justice to. The first 24 hours were calm and comfortable, and it felt special sailing just the two of us together after a long time. By mid-day, we entered Indonesian waters, greeted by unreal shades of blue — sky and sea blending into one. We anchored at Jemaja, an island that also has an airport, and soon realized how quickly weather can change in the South China Sea. With rough weather forecasted, we were grateful to have taken shelter. We also discovered that our bilge pump setup hadn’t worked as planned (from the previous episode), so we stayed aboard to fix things and ended the day with a refreshing sea swim. After 2–3 days, once the weather improved, we sailed onward to Terempa, Anambas, where things got interesting again — rough weather, and then we realized a pin from our mainsail had come loose mid-sail. Gaurav also shares a valuable tip on how to prepare for bad weather at sea, stressing the importance of timely action and closely monitoring weather apps. After an eventful sail, we finally arrived at Terempa, where officials from Customs, Immigration, Health, and Port Authority came onboard to officially check us into Indonesia. The Anambas Islands are a remote and pristine archipelago in Indonesia, known for crystal-clear waters, untouched reefs, and their off-the-beaten-path beauty — a true sailor’s paradise. We’re excited to begin exploring Anambas, Indonesia in the coming episodes! 👉 Follow our journey: 📸 Instagram: @the_reeva_project 📘 Facebook: The Reeva Project ---------------------------------------------------------------------- मलेशिया के तिओमन आइलैंड्स में लगभग तीन हफ़्ते बिताने के बाद, हमने अब अपना सफ़र शुरू किया इंडोनेशिया के अनाम्बास आइलैंड्स की ओर। यह लगभग 140 नौटिकल मील की यात्रा थी, जिसमें हमारा पहला पड़ाव था जेमाजा (Jemaja) — अनाम्बास का एक बड़ा द्वीप, जहाँ एक एयरपोर्ट भी मौजूद है। इस सफ़र के दौरान वी (वैदेही) ने रात की वॉच संभाली। ऊपर पूरा चाँद, चारों तरफ़ समंदर — एक बेहद खूबसूरत रात, जिसे कैमरा पूरी तरह कैद नहीं कर पाया। पहले 24 घंटे काफ़ी आरामदेह रहे। काफ़ी समय बाद हम दोनों ही अकेले साथ में नौकायन कर रहे थे और मौसम भी उम्मीद से बेहतर रहा। दोपहर तक हम इंडोनेशियन पानी में दाख़िल हो चुके थे — नीला आसमान और उतना ही नीला समंदर, नज़ारा वाक़ई कमाल का था। हमने जेमाजा में लंगर डाला। साउथ चाइना सी की सबसे दिलचस्प बात है — यहाँ मौसम अचानक बदल सकता है। मौसम के बिगड़ने की संभावना को देखते हुए हम समय पर सुरक्षित जगह पहुँच पाए, इसके लिए हम काफ़ी शुक्रगुज़ार थे। यहीं हमें यह भी समझ आया कि हमारी बिल्ज पंप की व्यवस्था ठीक से काम नहीं कर रही थी (पिछला एपिसोड ज़रूर देखें)। इसलिए हमने नाव पर ही रुककर ज़रूरी काम पूरे किए और शाम को समंदर में तैरकर थोड़ी राहत ली। 2–3 दिनों बाद, मौसम साफ़ होते ही हमने अगला सफ़र शुरू किया तेरेंपा (Terempa), अनाम्बास की ओर, जहाँ हमें इंडोनेशिया में आधिकारिक रूप से चेक-इन करना था। लेकिन रास्ते में एक बार फिर खराब मौसम का सामना करना पड़ा और तभी हमें पता चला कि मेनसेल का एक पिन निकल गया है। इस दौरान गौरव यह भी बताते हैं कि खराब मौसम के लिए तैयारी कैसे करनी चाहिए — जैसे समय पर सही फ़ैसले लेना और वेदर ऐप्स पर लगातार नज़र रखना। कई उतार-चढ़ाव भरे इस सफ़र के बाद हम आख़िरकार तेरेंपा पहुँचे, जहाँ कस्टम्स, इमिग्रेशन, हेल्थ और पोर्ट अथॉरिटी के अधिकारी नाव पर आए और हमारी एंट्री पूरी की। अनाम्बास आइलैंड्स, इंडोनेशिया का एक बेहद दूरस्थ और ख़ूबसूरत द्वीप समूह है, जो अपने साफ़ पानी, शांत वातावरण और अनछुए नेचर के लिए जाना जाता है — नाविकों के लिए किसी स्वर्ग से कम नहीं। अब हम पूरी तरह तैयार हैं अनाम्बास, इंडोनेशिया को एक्सप्लोर करने के लिए। आगे की यात्रा के लिए जुड़े रहिए! ⛵🌊 Sailing to Indonesia Anambas Islands Indonesia Tioman to Anambas sail South China Sea sailing Liveaboard sailing couple Full moon sailing Boat life reality Sailing vlog India The Reeva Project Sailing Malaysia to Indonesia #TheReevaProject #SailingIndonesia #AnambasIslands #SouthChinaSea #BoatLife #LiveaboardLife #SailingCouple #FullMoonSailing #OceanAdventure #SailboatLife #CruisingLife #IndianSailors #LifeAtSea #SVReeva

इस हफ़्ते के The Reeva Project एपिसोड में हम एक बेहद रोमांचक सफ़र पर निकल रहे हैं — Tioman Island (मलेशिया) से Anambas Islands (इंडोनेशिया) तक की 130 नौटिकल मील लंबी यात्रा, South China Sea के पार! 🌊 लेकिन रवाना होने से पहले, चलिए देखते हैं कि marina life में एक sailboat को लंबी यात्रा के लिए तैयार करने की असली झलक कैसी होती है — डेक की सफ़ाई से लेकर freshwater pipe की लीकेज ठीक करने तक, हर काम में सबका हाथ बँटा हुआ है। ⚓ वैदेही ने इस सफ़र के लिए घर पर ही Indian मसाले (homemade Indian masalas) तैयार किए हैं — ताकि समुद्र के बीच भी खाने में वही घर का स्वाद बना रहे 🍛। जैसे ही सब तैयार लग रहा था, तभी हमारी bilge pump ने काम करना बंद कर दिया — और वो भी तब, जब हमारे Malaysian visa की अवधि ख़त्म होने में सिर्फ़ दो दिन बचे थे! लेकिन शुक्रिया Tioman Marina की शानदार sailing community का, जिनकी मदद से हमें स्पेयर पार्ट्स मिले और समय पर सब ठीक हो गया। यह एपिसोड असली boat life reality दिखाता है — जहाँ आप ही मालिक हैं, प्लंबर हैं, इलेक्ट्रिशियन हैं, और शेफ़ भी — सब कुछ एक साथ! तो आइए हमारे साथ इस यात्रा पर, जहाँ हम तैयार होते हैं Indonesia’s hidden paradise — The Anambas Islands की ओर रवाना होने के लिए। ⛵✨ In this week’s episode of The Reeva Project, we’re gearing up for one of our most exciting adventures yet — sailing from Tioman Island, Malaysia to the Anambas Islands in Indonesia, a 130 NM passage across the South China Sea! 🌊 But before setting sail, we take you behind the scenes into what marina life looks like when preparing a sailboat for a long passage. From cleaning the decks to fixing a leaking freshwater pipe, it’s all hands on deck! Vaidehi also preps homemade Indian masalas to make cooking easy during the long sail — because nothing beats good food at sea 🍛. Just when things seemed ready, our bilge pump stopped working, only two days before our Malaysian visa expired! Thanks to our amazing sailing community in Tioman Marina, we managed to get spares and fix it in time. This episode is a true slice of boat life reality — where you’re the owner, plumber, electrician, and chef — all in one!

After a wonderful birthday week and some unforgettable diving, we sailed into the Marina at Tioman a small, charming island off the coast of Malaysia. Tioman is one of Malaysia’s best-kept secrets — a duty-free island known for incredible snorkeling, diving, and jungle trekking. Bad weather was predicted for the next few days, so we decided to seek shelter at the marina. Soon we realized the island’s cargo ferry — the lifeline for groceries and provisions would not be coming for the next week due the the storm predictions ! What followed was heavy rain, strong gusts, and one wild squall that even blew away our slippers! Once the weather cleared, we headed out to Renggis Island for a snorkeling adventure where we swam with blacktip sharks and a turtle. It was an unforgettable experience! We spent two blissful weeks at Tioman, soaking in its peace and beauty. Join us as we share this slice of island life — full of laughter, storms, and serenity.

In this week’s sailing vlog, we continue our journey across the South China Sea and arrive at Tioman Island, Malaysia — a paradise known for diving, snorkeling, lush jungles, and tropical beauty. After a 3-day sail, we reached Tioman and safely picked up a mooring. But challenges came early — our dinghy wouldn’t start during domestic check-in! Thankfully, a fellow sailor helped us out, turning stress into friendship. This episode was even more special as we celebrated Vaidehi’s birthday underwater. With Tioman Reef Divers, we explored coral reefs, spotted an eel, and even swam with 4 stingrays. We also had our very first cave dive — an unforgettable experience! Later, we teamed up with Patrick & Sarah, an experienced diving couple from Singapore (200+ dives logged at Tioman). Together, we explored Chebeh Island and Malang Rock, two of Tioman’s top dive sites. Just when we thought the adventure was done, a sudden squall hit us at anchor. Strong winds tested our boat life skills, but quick action kept us safe. Join us for a sailing and diving adventure filled with friendship, challenges, underwater discoveries, and the unpredictable beauty of life at sea. • Sailing to Tioman Island • Sailing vlog Malaysia • Tioman diving vlog • Diving Tioman Island Malaysia • Sailboat birthday celebration • Diving with stingrays Malaysia • Cave diving Tioman • Sailing South China Sea • Life on a sailboat vlog • Malaysia sailing adventures #SailingReeva #SailingVlog #TiomanIsland #SailingMalaysia #BoatLife #ScubaDiving #DiveVlog #Stingrays #CaveDive #TravelVlog

Season 4, Episode 6 सिंगापुर स्ट्रेट को पार करने के बाद हम सुरक्षित सेनिबॉन्ग कोव मरीना, जोहोर बाहरू पहुँच गए। लेकिन यह हफ़्ता हमारे लिए थोड़ा भावुक था — हमें अपने क्रू अपूर्वा और स्वरूप से अलविदा कहना पड़ा, जो स्विट्ज़रलैंड लौट गए, और हमारी बेटी काया भी भारत लौट गई। अचानक, हमारी 42 फुट की सेलबोट SV Reeva पर सिर्फ हम दोनों ही रह गए। शुरुआत में नाव पर बहुत सन्नाटा और खालीपन महसूस हुआ, लेकिन जल्द ही हमने अपनी लय पकड़ ली। लंबे सफ़र की तैयारी के लिए हमने प्रोविज़निंग, गैस सिलेंडर रीफ़िल और अपनी 35 साल पुरानी इंजन की सर्विसिंग की — यह सब आगे की यात्रा के लिए ज़रूरी था। सेनिबॉन्ग से निकलकर हमने जोहोर बाहरू के पास व्यस्त शिपिंग चैनल्स को पार किया, जहाँ चारों ओर व्यापारी जहाज़ थे। इसके बाद हम पहुँचे खूबसूरत तिओमन आइलैंड, जो अपनी क्रिस्टल क्लियर पानी, कछुओं और कोरल रीफ़्स के लिए मशहूर है और मलेशिया के सबसे सुंदर क्रूज़िंग डेस्टिनेशनों में से एक है। हमारे साथ जुड़िए इस सफ़र में जहाँ हम दोबारा कपल सेलिंग लाइफ़ में एडजस्ट करते हैं, रीवा को अगले रोमांच के लिए तैयार करते हैं और निकल पड़ते हैं तिओमन आइलैंड की ओर। In this episode aboard SV Reeva, we crossed the Singapore Strait and arrived at Senibong Cove Marina, Johor Bahru. It was a bittersweet moment as we said goodbye to our crew — Swaroop and Apoorva returned to Switzerland, and Kaeya headed back to India. With the boat suddenly quiet, it took us a few days to adjust to life with just the two of us again. Once the farewells were behind us, it was time to get Reeva ready for new adventures. We stocked up on provisions, refilled our gas cylinders (with some creative jugaad!), and serviced our 35-year-old engine as part of its 300-hour maintenance. Soon, we set sail for Tioman Island, one of Malaysia’s most beautiful destinations, famous for its turquoise waters, turtles, and coral reefs. Along the way, we navigated busy shipping lanes near Johor Bahru, dodged merchant vessels, and found joy in the small moments of couple sailing life. Come along as we shift from sailing with family and friends to preparing for fresh adventures together. Don’t forget to Like, Comment, and Subscribe to follow our journey on SV Reeva.

​Join us aboard SV Reeva, our 12 m sailing yacht, as we take on one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world — the Singapore Strait. This action-packed episode is full of adventure, adrenaline, and emotional goodbyes. After a stormy night with our anchor dragging dangerously close to Singapore waters, we embarked on a 70-mile passage from West to East Johor Bahru, navigating squalls, strong currents, and hundreds of massive cargo and container ships. With favorable currents, Reeva reached a record speed of 9 knots, weaving through 400-meter tankers and fast-moving vessels. After 11 intense hours, we made a safe landfall at Senibong Cove Marina, a quiet and sheltered inlet at Sungai Lunchoo — the perfect spot to rest and recover. This episode is also a farewell tribute to our crew mates, Apoorva and Swaroop, as they return to Switzerland. From sushi nights and karaoke fun to heartfelt goodbyes, this episode captures the essence of community, adventure, and life at sea. 📺 Watch till the end for behind-the-scenes moments, storm highlights, and the unfiltered reality of life aboard a bluewater cruising yacht.

​ @the_reeva_project  Join us in Season 4 Episode 4 for an episode that had it all — history, storms, laughter, and one of the most challenging crossings in the world! We set sail from Pulau Besar, near the beautiful and historic Malacca City, and headed to Pulau Pisang — at the southernmost tip of the Eurasian continent. On reaching there, we planned a chilled “weekend evening” with the crew cooking the , cooking the worst food we’ve ever made on Reeva — so bad, it had to be thrown overboard! 😂 Still, with good company came lots of laughter, making it a memorable night. From Pisang we did a small hop to a seemingly sheltered anchorage between Johor Bahru and Singapore. Plan was to sleep early for a restful night and start our Singapore Straits passage at 0430 to catch the 3 knot tide. But the night was anything but peaceful, at 3 a.m., just hours before our planned crossing, a rain squall hit with winds of 35–40 knots. Our anchor dragged, the chain snagged, and the snubber broke — chaos in the dark. After two exhausting hours, we finally got things under control. With the storm behind us, we lifted anchor at sunrise and set out towards the infamous Singapore Strait. 👉 Join us for storms, laughter, friendship, and the much-awaited crossing!

S04E02 We set sail from Langkawi to Pangkor — a 130 nautical mile passage that took us 28 hours. This was our new crew, Apurva and Swaroop’s, longest sailing passage yet! ⛵💪 We arrived at Pangkor Marina — a true haven for boaters, known for how quickly and efficiently boat work gets done here. While in Pangkor, we took a day off to explore the island and indulge in local flavours. We visited the Foo Ling Taoist temple, a Hindu temple (Kali Amman Temple), the historic Dutch Fort, and Pangkor’s very famous Coral Beach. A bit about Pangkor: Pangkor Island, off the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia, is a small tropical gem known for its fishing villages, rich cultural mix, and laid-back charm. Historically, it was a key stopover for traders — from the Dutch to Chinese and Indian settlers — leaving behind temples, forts, and a vibrant local heritage. Today, it’s a blend of quiet beaches, delicious seafood, and a slower pace of life. After a fulfilling day of exploring, we set sail again — heading further south towards our next adventure. Follow us on: Insta: / the_reeva_project FB: / thereevaproject हमने लंगकावी से पंगकोर तक 130 नॉटिकल माइल का सफ़र तय किया — 28 घंटे लगातार समुद्र में! ⛵ हमारे नए क्रू मेंबर्स, अपूर्वा और स्वरूप के लिए ये अब तक का सबसे लंबा सेलबोट सफ़र था। पंगकोर मरीना पहुँचना अपने आप में राहत थी — ये जगह नाव वालों के लिए किसी स्वर्ग से कम नहीं, जहाँ काम जल्दी और अच्छे से होता है। ⚓ पंगकोर में हमने एक दिन निकालकर पूरे आइलैंड को एक्सप्लोर किया और लोकल खाना भी चखा। हम गए फूबॉन्ग ताओइस्ट मंदिर, काली अम्मन मंदिर, ऐतिहासिक डच किला और पंगकोर का मशहूर कोरल बीच। थोड़ा पंगकोर के बारे में: मलेशिया के पश्चिमी तट पर बसा ये छोटा-सा ट्रॉपिकल आइलैंड अपनी मछुआरा बस्तियों, मंदिरों, ऐतिहासिक किलों और खूबसूरत बीच के लिए जाना जाता है। कभी ये ट्रेडिंग शिप्स का अहम पड़ाव हुआ करता था, और आज ये स्लो-लाइफ और सीफ़ूड लवर्स के लिए एकदम परफेक्ट जगह है। एक शानदार दिन बिताने के बाद, हम फिर से रवाना हुए — अपने अगले सफ़र की ओर, और भी दक्षिण में। Credits: Music from Epidemic Sound #thereevaproject #sailinglife #sailingfamily #liveaboardlife #Indiansailors #onlyIndianfamilysailing #season4 #SailMalaysia #Indiansatsea #Indiansailing #sailboatlife #lifeatsea #PangkorIsland #LangkawiToPangkor #PangkorMarina #VisitMalaysia #MalaysiaTravel #CoralBeach #DutchFortPangkor #Foolingemple #oceanpassage #Womenwhosail #sailingcouple #BatteryWork #PassagePrep #NewCrewOnboard #HindiEnglishVlog #UnfilteredSailing #cruisinglife
