The Boat.
Meet WAOW 2, a 60-meter phinisi built for long days at sea, colorful dives and slow journeys through Indonesia.
Set to sail Oct. 2028.
WAOW 2 was built in the classic phinisi tradition, carrying the comfort of a modern yacht and safety held to the highest standard.
Four cabin types, all built for comfort and privacy.
Around them, wide decks, two dining areas and quiet or sociable corners leave room for every mood: long conversations full of laughter, or calm moments facing the sea.

The Cabins.
Superior Cabins

Solo Cabins
At 13 m², the Single Cabins make the most of their space, with an Upper Deck location and beautiful views out to sea.
Deluxe Cabins
At 22 m², the Deluxe Cabins offer generous space on the Lower Deck, with porthole windows bringing the sea into view.
Outdoor Spaces
Over 240 m² of open deck, between sun and shade.
Sun loungers, hammocks, sofas and dining tables: everything is here to read, doze, talk or share a meal with the sea all around.
Indoor Spaces
The air-conditioned interior is where most meals are shared, and a place to drop in at any time of day for a coffee, a chat, a break from the sun or to escape the rain. Dining tables, bar, lounge and a self-service corner with coffee machine, fridge and snacks. Some come for a quiet moment, others to talk over the next adventure.
Thought By
And For Divers.
WAOW 2 was designed from the start as a dive boat, with everything you need between dives, and nothing that gets in the way of them.
A dedicated dive centre, camera room, comfortable tenders, smart gear storage and safety systems are all designed around 20 guests and 5 guides, keeping dives smooth from the first descent to the last gear drying in the sun
