Where were they going without ever knowing the way? That's a good question! Looking back on our past experiences with cruising sailboats, we always find ourselves in trouble while enjoying a glass of sangria in the Azores and Canary Islands. In 2014, after making our first Atlantic Ocean crossing from Miami to Horta (Faial), we got to talking about an aluminum boat that could one day take us to the Arctic. We had high hopes, and lots of delusions, that we could complete a 9 month full refit on this hunk of metal that had been abandoned in Southern Florida for 10 years. 2.5 years after moving her from storage to the work yard (and that was after crossing BACK across the Atlantic to return on our first cruising boat to Florida), we did splash the Alu boat and head out for a grand adventure. Completing our goal of sailing her into the Arctic Circle, we had been wintering over in the UK when we decided to escape the cold for a few weeks and take advantage of incredibly cheap flights to Tenerife. Think $140 round trip. Sitting in a Montaditos, we discussed how poor the aluminum boat was at sailing, and how much we missed the performance cruiser of our previous Sabre. But...multihulls were the future, and honestly, I was tired of getting seasick from every passage we went on. Mart had hopes for another refit, but I was adamant that the kind of time and effort we'd have to dedicate would be much better spent on a new build. We researched home builds and were eventually contacted by Max Cruise in the process. Once again delusions took over as we thought we could complete this build in 2 years. As you can see, we're already well past that, with at least another year on the horizon. Would I change ANYTHING about the steps we've taken in the past or where it has lead us now? Absolutely not. This is exactly where I'm supposed to be in my life, and when this catamaran does hit the water, I know I'll be filled with nothing but pride and joy. 🤩⛵

When Tom Waes was at our shipyard last week he enjoyed having a break from the meetings by taking the Bestevaer 36 out for a little bit. Unfortunately the mist kept him from going far, but being out on the water is always refreshing and clears the mind. “I’m always happy to be on board a yacht,” he said. “It’s just a great feeling to be on the water, and it makes me even more excited for my own yacht!” #bestevaer #bestevaer36 #takeabreak #tomwaes #kalmwaes #tomwaesbe #sailingsatisfaction #explore #sail #sailtheworld #goanywhere #sailing #exploretheworld #travel #dream #reizenwaes #kmyachtbuilders 📸 @guyfleury_photography

Some journeys are about distance. Others are about discovery. Along our Rare Routes: Ternate–Bitung, we travel through parts of Indonesia that remain largely untouched — where evolution took its own path, wildlife lives freely, and the sea still holds surprises. From stingless jellyfish lakes and endemic butterflies once studied by Alfred Russel Wallace, to rare birds, volcanic reefs, and fish found nowhere else on Earth — this is a journey shaped by nature, not crowds. This isn’t a checklist trip. It’s a window into Indonesia’s wild, lesser-known side. ✨ Rare Routes are limited by nature, not demand. 👉 Explore upcoming voyages at seatrekbali.com #RareRoutes #TernateBitung #IndonesiaSailing #WildIndonesia #UndiscoveredIndonesia #RemoteTravel #OffTheBeatenPath #WildlifeTravel #NatureTravel #EcoTravel #SailingLife #ExpeditionCruise #SmallShipTravel #OceanLife #SeaTrek Begin your incredible adventure with SeaTrek right here: 🗺 Schedule | https://www.seatrekbali.com/schedule/ ⛵️ Website | https://www.seatrekbali.com 📚 SeaTrekker Magazine | https://www.seatrekbali.com/seatrekker-magazine/ 📧 Contact Us | info@seatrekbali.com 𝗪𝐞'𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐚 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐬 𝐭𝐨𝐨!
