Rascal and Rebel are self-styled floating villas. Hand built in Sulawesi, they are traditional phinisi yachts, each measuring a luxurious 30m in length, with five cabins and plenty of living space, including a roof deck. They comes with 11 staff, all of whom know the seas like the back of their hand, and are fully catered.
Depending on the seasons, they sail a variety of routes, with a fascinating choice of bespoke itineraries, taking you to otherwise inaccessible locations, and showing you the majesty of Indonesia, West Papua and thousands of islands.

The crew-guest ratio of 1:1 ensures you enjoy an exceptional level of service. And all the crew are highly trained specialists, with an indepth knowledge of the routes. Great emphasis is placed on food onboard, with breakfast, lunch and dinner all freshly prepared, sometime with a BBQ or picnic on a deserted beach, and with a mix of local and international dishes. Guests with children can take advantage of a whole host of organised activities for them, whilst you enjoy some down time.

The waters you’ll sail, are some of the most pristine in the world, and are home to an exceptional diverse marine and bird life. Abundant coral reefs make them perfect for divers and snorkelers, as you share them with turtles and manta rays. Dolphins and whales are regularly spotted, and on some routes you can swim with hammerhead sharks.
