Cruise to the land of spice traders, brooding volcanos, forgotten tribes, and hungry dragons aboard the luxurious Dunia Baru.
Cast back, if you will, to a time of innocence when you were just a little lad. There’s a distinct chance that on your list of things you wanted to be when you grew up, pirate was in the top five. It’s with good reason; what’s not to like about a pirate’s life? Setting sail for parts unknown, a crew of loyal misfits, battle against the authorities, all the booty you could get your hands around. Sounds pretty idyllic really.

But then reality sunk in and the vast majority of us never set sail, never discovered sunken treasure, never made anyone walk the plank and remained, for the most part, bootyless. All of that is about to change.
Introducing the breathtaking charter yacht Dunia Baru, your ticket to the high seas of Indonesia (where modern-day pirates still linger). Crafted in Ulin wood as a stunning example of the traditional phinisi schooners favoured by the seafarers of Sulawesi, the glorious seven-cabin, 51m Dunia Baru spends half the year cruising between Bali, Komodo, Alor and the Spice Islands, and the other half plying the waters of Papua, the Forgotten Islands and remote Raja Ampat, which is where you’ll really want to set course.

Home to some of the best diving on the planet, you’ll have a resident dive master (one of a crew of 18) to show you the top coral gardens, home to manta, sharks, turtles and even whales. If you don’t dive yet, you can either certify whilst you cruise, tell long tales of the sea in the luxurious lounge, or simply man the sun-kissed foredeck with a bevvy of your favourite maidens and mateys in search of unexplored coves and deserted, pristine beaches.
By evening, greet dramatic sunsets in the only way possible, with a well-made cocktail and a gourmet meal that takes its cues from Indonesia’s culinary culture. We suggest a small batch spiced rum.
Because it doesn’t get much more Captain Black Beard than that.
