Expeditions

Phuket to Maluku. Five stages. One epic voyage.

Between December 2026 and April 2027, the classic yacht Seraph sails 4,000 miles across South East Asia — through the Malacca Strait, across the South China Sea and into the heart of the Coral Triangle. Join one stage, or sail them all.

The voyage

An expedition, not a cruise.

Each stage is a real offshore passage aboard a 75ft classic yacht: watch systems, night sailing, landfalls in places charter fleets never reach. Eight berths per stage — everyone sails, everyone learns.

Stage 1 · Fri 18 Dec 2026 – Fri 1 Jan 2027

Phuket → Tioman

14 days · ≈1,000 nm · €2,064 per berth

Down the Malay Peninsula through the Malacca Strait, past Singapore and across to Tioman's turquoise anchorages. A proper offshore warm-up over the New Year.

Stage 2 · Fri 8 Jan – Fri 29 Jan 2027

Tioman → Anambas → Borneo

21 days · ≈900 nm · €2,850 per berth

The longest leg of the expedition: across the South China Sea to the remote Anambas archipelago, then on to Borneo. Serious miles, night watches and true blue-water sailing.
