Sequoia – Authentically Indonesian

This handcrafted 86-feet (26-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 most advanced marine machinery, hardware, and electronics to produce this remarkable vessel. A focus on advanced technology increases comfort and safety for the 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.

Sequoia has an all Indonesian crew of ten, including a cruise manager, butler, and dive master, providing intimate knowledge of the islands and scuba reefs. Your host and owner, Yessi Sari spent four years overseeing the bespoke build, with two goals in mind: building a family yacht for safe and comfortable sea safaris within the Indonesian Coral Triangle and to become the first female Indonesian Cruise Director.
