Pelagian Liveaboard Indonesia

35M | 5 CABINS | 12 CREW

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.

Pelagian Liveaboard Cabins

The Pelagian Liveaboard offers five spacious cabins designed for comfort, privacy, and relaxation. The yacht accommodates a maximum of ten guests, ensuring an exclusive onboard atmosphere.

Accommodation includes one Master Stateroom, two Superlux Cabins, one Deluxe Cabin, and one Standard Cabin.

Master Stateroom

Located on the main deck at the bow, the Master Stateroom delivers the highest level of comfort onboard. The suite features a king-size bed, a private lounge area, and an ensuite bathroom with a rainforest shower. Large windows provide natural light and ocean views throughout the day.

Superlux Cabins

The two Superlux Cabins sit forward of the main salon on the lower deck. Each cabin offers a queen-size bed, a daybed, along with bright, spa-style interiors. Portholes let in natural light while ensuring privacy and a peaceful environment.

The Deluxe Cabin is ideal for couples or diving partners who want more personal space. It has twin beds, plenty of storage options, and a comfortable loveseat. The cabin is positioned at the rear of the yacht and has private access from the main salon via a staircase.
