What the ten days are

A long passage at sea, learning to sail and living on the boat: you sleep in your cabin, eat what the crew cooks and what you catch, and see the islands from the water.

  • Learn to steer, trim the sails and keep a night watch with the captain.
  • Freedive, fish and spearfish over reefs that see few boats.
  • Land on islands with nobody on them, and name one if you like.
  • One cabin per guest. Couples and children share.

For people who love the sea, diving and islands, and for anyone thinking of buying a boat who wants to live on one first.

Two routes, by season

February to August · from Senibong Cove, Johor Bahru

Anambas Islands, Indonesia

A group of islands in the South China Sea with clear water and reefs. Daxiong, who sailed here on this boat, calls it the richest sea he has seen since he started sailing around the world.

  5. Days 4–6Tarempa, where we clear in: motorbikes along the sea road, the mosque at sunset, the night market, and the rafflesia on the hill.
