“Sequoia is not just a wooden yacht; it’s the heartbeat of explorations, guiding me through The Coral Triangle of Indonesia—a region teeming with life, beauty, and wonder. A home that whispers warmth, intimacy, and a spirit of genuine connection.”

Sequoia – Authentically Indonesian

This handcrafted 100-feet (30.5-meter) yacht was designed as an heirloom, for the enjoyment of generations to come. It is primarily a motorboat powered by John Deere but also has auxiliary Doyle sails. She is a modern take on the classic sailing yacht and offers state of the art American engine and electrical systems. Custom-designed light fixtures illuminate the night sky, as well as underwater lighting to see the magical sea below. The design emphasizes space, privacy and comfort. Here, East meets West with modern, custom-made amenities, melded with an Indonesian tropical, island style designed to make you feel at home.

Sequoia combines the best aspects of traditional Sulawesi hull construction, a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, with the cutting edge marine machinery, hardware, and electronics to produce this remarkable vessel. The emphasis on advanced technology enhances both comfort and safety for guests. At the same time, all installed components are rated at the lowest level of emissions per US Environmental Protection Agency guidelines.

No single-use plastics or palm oil products are used on board Sequoia.
