Rascal Voyages

Rascal Voyages have set out to be different from other charter boats. Their approach is fresh, fun and exciting.

Rascal is a meticulously hand-crafted 30-metre ironwood and teak yacht designed especially for cruising the Indonesian archipelago. Built by the region’s most reputable Phinisi shipbuilder, the traditional ‘phinisi’ hull architecture has been reinvented and fitted with all of the modern conveniences to create an innovative and luxurious onboard experience.

Each voyage aboard Rascal is unique and custom-designed to the guests’ preferences. Each journey can be as action packed or relaxed as guests wish.

The boat has two main destinations for voyages: March - November is Komodo National Park, Flores. October - April is in Raja Ampat. Additional locations (available on special request, subject to relocation fees): Alor, Bali, Cenderawasih Bay, Lombok, Moyo, Sumbawa, Sumba, Java.

From first-hand encounters with Komodo dragons to explorations of the stunning national parks of the Flores Sea and Raja Ampat and snorkelling alongside the manta rays and whale sharks, guests of Rascal will experience the spontaneous warmth of Indonesian culture as part of an off-the-grid luxurious adventure.

The Rascal Team has also established a partnership with Conservation International to help raise funds to support the marine biology of Raja Ampat, Indonesia - the epicentre of marine biodiversity. Through research and development initiatives which survey the behaviours of the magnificent Manta rays, Rascal works to raise awareness for the protected species and the bio-diverse marine environments they inhabit.

With service akin to a five-star hotel (with a 1:1 crew-to-guest ratio) and the feel of a floating villa, set against the backdrop of the raw beauty of the East Indonesian archipelago, Rascal is the ultimate in adventure combined with supreme comfort.

Each of the five unique en-suite, above-deck, air-conditioned cabins offer spacious 2.2m ceiling heights and hand-crafted interiors designed by the renowned Charles Orchard of iBal Designs. The well-appointed cabins come equipped with flat screen TVs, Sonos music systems and universal electric sockets. Spacious en-suite bathrooms with tailor-made fittings and abundant hot water ensure there is no compromise on comfort or space.

Four spacious decks and a vast infinity roof deck provide plentiful options for dining, relaxing, sunbathing or dolphin and whale spotting.

During your voyage you will have at your disposal: full scuba diving equipment and an onboard PADI dive instructor, snorkelling equipment, tandem sea kayaks, stand up paddle boards, inflatable tow-able biscuit, water skis, wake-board, surfboard, fishing equipment - line and bottom, 5.5m and 4m rigid inflatable boat, cinema with selection of 1,000+ movies and a selection of board and card games.

As well as the above-mentioned activities your days can be spent as follows: daytime beach set up and BBQ beach dinners, nautical themed activities such as knot tying and navigation class with the captain, trekking including bird of paradise treks and waterfall and volcano trekking, cave visits, bat viewing, cooking classes with the onboard private chef, massage, roof deck yoga, village and market tours and Komodo dragon expeditions (in Komodo).
