---------- *Cruising the Forgotten Islands in Indonesia onboard a traditional Phinisi yacht* Embark on a journey to the Forgotten Islands of Indonesia, a hidden gem in the heart of the Banda Sea. Explore spectacular reefs and islands of a remote paradise, and dive with hammerhead sharks, sea snakes and more. Indonesia’s “Forgotten Islands” – also known as the Southeast Moluccas are not a single charter destination, but rather a 1,000 km long chain of archipelagos stretching from Timor to West Papua on the island of New Guinea. The remote islands of the ‘Ring of Fire’ have escaped much of the development of the modern world and remain pristine outposts of Indonesia’s extraordinary marine environment, offering untouched reefs, abundant marine life and bigger fish species including sharks. A yacht charter through the Banda Sea usually starts in Ambon where you warm up with some muck diving in Ambon Bay or on the reefs along the south coast, before sailing towards Nusa Laut. This small island is home to one of the Banda Sea’s most reliable hammerhead sites at Ameth and is a must on any trip to the region. Apart from the pristine diving possibilities, the Banda Island have a rich history. Being a crucial part of the Spice Trade, the island still feature a lot of colonial buildings, museums and other sites that are worth exploring during your yacht charter. ⛵Yacht: Lambo — 2 Cabins | 24 Meter ---------- 🗺️ Destination: The Forgotten Islands, Indonesia ---------- 🏝️ Land highlights: Local villages, museums, cultural sites ---------- 🐟 Sea highlights: Muck diving, hammerhead sharks, healthy corals, reef fish ---------- 👣 Type: Adventure & Exploration ---------- *Visit for more Information* ---------- 🌐 https://www.barefoot-cruising-indonesia.com ➜ https://www.barefoot-cruising-indonesia.com/boats/lambo/ ➜ https://www.barefoot-cruising-indonesia.com/destination/spice-cruise-moluccas/ ---------- #cruise #indonesia #yacht #diving #snorkeling #spiceislands #holiday #adventure

There came a point in Luke Powell’s long lifetime in boats when he realised that the wooden ones, and the skills to build them, were disappearing. He decided to do something about it the only way he knew - hands-on. Since moving to Cornwall from Kent in the 1990s, the result of this labour of love is a fleet of beautifully, traditionally built pilot cutters: EVE, LIZZIE MAY, AGNES, HESPER, EZIRA, TALLULAH, AMELIE ROSE, FREYA, and the largest yet, the remarkable PELLEW, in which Luke had the time and the task to pass-on his accumulated knowledge to a future generation. https://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/747/PELLEW In preserving skills in this way, the wonderful by-product has been to create a desire for experiencing and owning these vessels. As Luke says: “There’s something quite profound about being on something that is not of our time... When you sail on a boat like this, it’s a time machine; it takes you back to another place; it’s not just an object of conveyance. Whereas a modern boat is like a car - just a factory made object that does no more than take you from A to B - PELLEW takes you through time and space.” PELLEW is a faithful recreation of one of the longest surviving and best documented of Falmouth’s Pilot cutters, VINCENT. The original boat was built in 1852 for the Vincent family of St Mawes. She worked for 70 years until she was retired in 1922, ending her days on the Percuil River as a house-boat. After four years in conception and build, on Saturday 29th February 2020 PELLEW joined a select group of leap year launched vessels when she was gently craned into the Truro River. One of the largest and fastest Pilot Cutters to be built in modern times, PELLEW has subsequently enjoyed the busy life of a successful charter boat. There is nothing like her.
