Eight months into the journey

Eight months after laying the keel, WAOW 2 continues her slow but steady and remarkable emergence in the shipyards of Bira.

This month, we invite you to linger in the golden light of the late afternoon, discover the life that unfolds around the construction site, and follow the latest progress of the build. We also revisit our participatory pre-sale for those who wish to embark on the adventure before the first voyage begins.

Thank you for accompanying us on this journey.

Golden hour

Golden hour, full sail… one of those magical moments we can’t wait to experience again aboard WAOW 2.

Some evenings at the shipyard feel almost suspended in time.

The sound of hammers slowly fades, the light turns golden, and for a few quiet minutes WAOW 2 simply rests under the Bira sky.

It’s easy to focus on the big milestones of a build like this — the keel, the ribs, the planking — but there is also beauty in these smaller in-between moments. The ordinary rhythm of the yard. The wood dust on the decks. The silhouettes climbing down the scaffolding at sunset.

One day WAOW 2 will sail across Indonesia. For now, she is still growing here, between sea breeze, hard work, and golden evenings.

Around the shipyard

Around WAOW 2, life moves everywhere. And not all who wander the shipyard are officially part of the construction team… Some simply supervise. :)

Between the ribs of the boat and the scent of fresh wood, some move freely — goats passing by without a care, chickens weaving through the scaffolding, cats claiming the best shaded corners. Birds sing above the sound of hammers. Below, a whole smaller world hums — insects, discreet but ever-present, part of the same rhythm.

Here, the shipyard is not set apart from nature. It lives within it.

And as WAOW 2 takes shape, she grows surrounded by a simple, vibrant and noisy world — quietly becoming part of the story too.

8 months

Our participatory pre-sale

WAOW 2 is in the shipyard.

The sea voyages, the remote reefs, the sunsets under sail - all of that still lies ahead.

And yet, some guests are already part of the journey. Through our participatory pre-sale, they are helping bring WAOW 2 to life while securing privileged access and preferential conditions for the years to come.

Long before the first departure, the adventure has already begun.
