The Pelagian Dive Yacht is a classic explorer vessel delivering an intimate five-star liveaboard experience in one of Indonesia’s most pristine marine environments. Designed for travelers seeking privacy, comfort, and exceptional diving, Pelagian combines traditional yacht elegance with modern luxury.
Originally built in Norway in 1965 as a long-range motor yacht, the 36-meter vessel later evolved into a dedicated diving yacht, sailing across the Seychelles, the Red Sea, and the Indian Ocean. Following a complete refit and modernisation, she was relaunched as Pelagian, operating exclusively in partnership with Wakatobi Resort and reflecting its internationally renowned standards of service.
Why Choose Pelagian
Unlike larger liveaboards, Pelagian focuses on exclusivity and personalised service. Accommodating only ten guests across five spacious staterooms, the yacht offers an atmosphere closer to a private charter than a traditional dive cruise.
A professional crew of twelve ensures attentive yet discreet service throughout the journey. Meanwhile, onboard dining elevates the experience further, with expertly prepared cuisine inspired by both Indonesian flavors and international fine dining traditions.
Pelagian specialises in scuba diving expeditions within Wakatobi National Park and the remote waters of Southern Sulawesi. These regions are known for pristine coral reefs, remarkable biodiversity, and uncrowded dive sites.
Guests may choose between private yacht charters or shared diving departures. Each journey combines luxury comfort with world-class diving in one of Indonesia’s most protected marine environments.
