LUXURY ACCOMMODATIONS AND SERVICES

Managed and operated by Wakatobi Dive Resort, Pelagian offers the same high standards of guest services as our land-based operations - but in a more intimate setting. With a maximum of 10 guests, this 115-foot yacht provides more comforts than any other dive live-aboard. Spacious outdoor decks, multiple lounges and dining spaces allow you to choose the level of social interaction or privacy you desire. Our pre-dive area provides ample space for donning and doffing equipment and camera care. Combine this with our passion for delivering outstanding guest services , and you'll think you're on your own private yacht! What could be better than experiencing one of the most incredible marine life regions of the world in such a setting?

Choose a cabin to meet your preferences-- from standard through master suite accommodations. All cabins include private bathrooms and individual temperature controls. Now you can experience the outer reaches. . . Pelagian cruises through the islands of Tomia, Kaledupa, Binongko, Hoga, Wanci and Buton - offering both reefs and muck diving in one cruise.  While some of the coral gardens may not be fully as pristine as those near Wakatobi Dive Resort they will offer you very varied topography and varied vistas. Add to that mesmerizing muck diving (not reefs but sandy - mucky if you wish - substrata covered with stunning critters in every conceivable color). Whether you like towering pinnacles, steep walls, coral gardens, drift dives, caverns, or caves, the islands in the Wakatobi region offer them all. While Pelagian's cruising route is dependent on seasonal and dive conditions, our skilled staff develop itineraries based on guests' diving and marine-life preferences. Here it's all about helping you create the dive holiday of your dreams! Something for both returning and new Wakatobi guests!

If you're a first-time visitor to Wakatobi, why not experience the best of land-based and live-aboard diving, all in one vacation? Book a minimum of five days at the resort and then expand your adventure aboard Pelagian for a few days - or vice versa.

These combo dive adventures offer new guests a way to sample the extraordinary marine life diversity of the Indo-Pacific in total comfort. Our knowledgeable marketing representatives or Wakatobi Concierges can help you with your combo booking.

If you've dived sites around Wakatobi Dive Resort before, you'll definitely want to expand your dive adventures to the reef systems beyond the island of Tomia. New marine life discoveries lay waiting for you and your camera. Exotic and rare marine life can be found on all dives but if you love muck diving sites like Cheeky Beach and Asphalt Pier are sure to create excitement. If you like sheer cliffs and caves, Tanjung Baturtoro offers something for both wide-angle and macro photographers. But these are only a few of the many and varied sites you'll visit with Pelagian. Why not book the Pelagian for a small group of your friends and explore Wakatobi's outer reaches together?



THE YACHT

The Pelagian was built at the Batservice Verft A/S Shipyard in Mandal, Norway, as a elegant world-ranging motor yacht. Over the years she has been rebuilt, upgraded and improved many times, most recently at the start of 2009 when she received hundreds of thousands of dollars in improvements. Her construction was to Lloyd's +100A1 yacht and +LMC classification, and she was stoutly built to travel the world's oceans in comfort and safety. Pelagian cruises at 9 knots and she has a range of over 8,000 nautical miles!

On board water-makers and over 20 tons of fresh water in the tanks mean that we don't need to worry about having an extra shower or rinsing our cameras one more time! Measuring 35 meters (115 feet) overall in length, her beam is 7.5 meters (24 feet) and her draft is 3.4 meters (11 feet). At 245 metric tons, she has the size and heft to provide us with a secure base for our exploration of the aquatic world.

Pelagian is air-conditioned throughout and offers en-suite accommodation (private bathrooms) in five cabins, ranging from the Standard Cabins up to the Master Suite.


Comfort In and Out of the Water

The Pelagian's two custom-made 18ft rigid hull inflatable (RIB) dive tenders are equipped with double 60HP outboard engines, tank racks and secure stainless steel ladders (no need to enter the boat like a stranded seal:). These tenders are comfortable and very easy to enter and exit. Diving is mainly done off the tenders as they allow divers to go directly to the dive sites more accurately than the main ship.

Tanks are quickly filled using whips from the Pelagian so there's no need to take the gear off the tenders until the end of the cruise. Our friendly, camera-aware crew is always ready to lend a hand.
