The Vessel

Sequoia is defined by quiet capability. Her appeal lies not in spectacle, but in the way she makes remote cruising feel calm, comfortable, and deeply considered. She is built for guests who want their yacht to support the experience rather than compete with it, allowing landscapes, wildlife, and the simple rhythm of life at sea to take the lead.

That character gives her a very specific kind of luxury. Sequoia feels intimate without feeling limited, practical without feeling sparse, and refined without ever becoming formal. For guests drawn to longer days on the water, fewer crowds, and more meaningful contact with the destination, she offers a rare sense of fit.

Spaces & Layout

Sequoia’s three-cabin layout creates an especially private onboard environment, making her a strong choice for families, couples traveling together, or smaller private groups who want the experience to feel personal from the outset. With fewer guests onboard, the yacht remains calm and spacious throughout the voyage, while the crew can keep service discreet and closely tailored to the group.

Her indoor salon serves as the central communal space, combining dining and bar service in an atmosphere that feels warm and residential rather than formal. Outside, open deck and sundeck areas give guests space to observe the surroundings, relax between excursions, or simply enjoy the privilege of being somewhere remote and beautiful without interruption. The overall flow is easy, intimate, and highly suited to extended time at sea.

Onboard Amenities

Sequoia is arranged for guests who want comfort, safety, and a more nature-focused onboard experience. Included onboard:

• 3 air-conditioned guest cabins

• Indoor salon

• Dining area

• Bar service

• Open deck areas

• Sundeck for relaxation and observation

• Certified PADI dive operation

• Onboard diving equipment

• Advanced navigation systems

Water Toys & Ocean Extras

Sequoia is especially well suited to guests who want active but unhurried access to Indonesia’s marine environments. Onboard experiences and equipment include:

• Diving

• Snorkeling

• Wildlife observation

• Tender-supported island and coastal exploration

This supports a charter rhythm shaped by reef access, nature encounters, and scenic cruising rather than fast movement between busy destinations.

Charter Experiences

Sequoia is particularly well suited to Raja Ampat, the Spice Islands, Komodo, and wider eastern Indonesia, where wildlife, reef systems, and remote islands reward a yacht designed for slower and more flexible exploration. She is best matched to guests who want a private yacht charter in Indonesia centered on privacy, natural beauty, and meaningful time in less-traveled regions.

Typical days aboard Sequoia can include diving or snorkeling in remote waters, island exploration, wildlife observation, long scenic passages, and quiet evenings anchored far from busier routes. One of her greatest strengths is the flexibility of the experience. Rather than forcing a fixed schedule, Sequoia allows the itinerary to respond to conditions, opportunities, and guest interests, making the journey feel more organic and personal from one day to the next.
