You saw that right, we are building WAOW 2!
You saw that right: we are building WAOW 2! Seven years after WAOW set sail for her last journey, the adventure begins again.
It has been over seven years since WAOW set sail for her last journey. Seven years during which her spirit lived on, carried by memories, friendships, and a shared love for the ocean.
Today, we are proud to announce that the adventure continues: WAOW 2 is under construction. Being built in Indonesia by the same shipbuilder, Haji Wahab, who crafted the original WAOW, and guided by the passion of our team, she is slowly taking shape—plank by plank, detail by detail.
Follow her journey
The road ahead is still long, and WAOW 2 is not yet ready to sail.
But starting today, we invite you to follow her journey from the shipyard to the sea. Together, we will watch her grow, until the day she is ready to welcome her first divers on board.
WAOW 2 will be as big and as beautiful as WAOW once was. But we aim to make it even better, learning from our past experience and perfecting it as much as we can.
Safety, comfort, service, environmental impact: everything is being rethought, refined, and elevated to create a vessel that not only honors the legacy of WAOW, but sets a new standard for the journeys to come.
Because WAOW has always been more than wood and sails — it has been a community, a dream shared.
Now, seven years later, that dream is being built once again.
