Oracle Yacht

A boutique private phinisi offering ethnic ethic chic and cultural immersion across Indonesia.

Overview

The Oracle yacht offers a unique and culturally rich experience for travelers exploring the Indonesian archipelago. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this magnificent phinisi embodies the heritage of traditional shipbuilding in Indonesia. Guests are invited to embark on a journey that not only explores the stunning natural beauty of the archipelago but also seeks to provide a holistic sense of well-being through “ethnic ethic chic” cultural immersion.

Indeed, its name “The Oracle” reflects its purpose – to be a medium for guests to look into their souls, find inner truth, and experience a sense of freedom. The expedition experience is designed to awaken the spirit and offer moments of inspiration and self-reflection, all while sailing through the breathtaking waters of Indonesia.

The yacht is part of the Blue Karma Secrets portfolio, renowned as comprising some of the most impressive and chic private villas and resorts in Bali. As the owners’ first interpretation of a yacht, the concept follows the same ethos of creating a tranquil haven paired with impeccable attention to detail and a warm, authentic approach to hospitality.

Life On Board

The Oracle features three meticulously designed cabins, with two large master suites above deck and an additional cabin below deck. Each of the master suites offer panoramic windows, en-suite bathrooms, air conditioning, Sonos sound systems, and their own secluded al fresco terrace. The third cabin below deck is perfect for children or additional guests. The yacht’s spacious social areas, deck space, and design ensures equal comfort and luxury for all guests, making it an ideal choice for couples, small families, or close-knit groups.

The onboard experience is complemented by a 10-member crew, including a cruise director, captain, chief officer, chefs, and a masseuse. The crew is dedicated to providing world-class service, ensuring that guests have a seamless and unforgettable journey. Dining aboard the Oracle yacht is a delight, as the head chef—whose previous experience includes time spent at the celebrated Hanging Gardens hotel in Ubud—has curated an exceptional menu to suit everyone’s unique tastes. Guests can also enjoy a variety of water activities, from snorkeling and diving to kayaking, paddleboarding and wakeboarding.

Destination Delights

The Oracle sails through some of the most enchanting destinations in Indonesia, including Komodo Park, Flores, and Raja Ampat. These uncharted horizons offer diverse landscapes, pristine beaches, and rich marine life. Travelers can embark on thrilling treks, dive into crystal-clear waters, or simply bask in the serenity of these untouched paradises.

Her itineraries includes private voyages to Komodo, starting from Labuan Bajo, which promise an extraordinary blend of nature, wildlife, and relaxation, as well as to breathtaking Raja Ampat, known for its turquoise waters, white sandy beaches, and lush rainforests. Both destinations offer unforgettable experiences in captivating and untouched marine paradises.

Perfect for travelers wanting to discover the beauty of Indonesia’s islands while finding inner peace and reflection, the Oracle yacht is a vessel that redefines luxury cruises for body and soul, blending cultural heritage, meticulous craftsmanship, and immersive natural experiences. The Oracle is more than just a yacht; it’s a gateway to an unparalleled spiritual journey through the heart of Indonesia’s unspoiled treasures.

Embarkation

AM: Several of our crew will be on site to greet you at the arrivals gate, where they will help you to the pre-arranged taxis for the short ride to the harbour to board tenders to the lead vessel. You will be welcomed on board Oracle by her crew, offering a cold towel and seasonal beverage. The Cruise Director will give an introduction, a safety briefing, a small tour of the vessel and assist with cabin allocation while the vessel departs. The journey to your first destination represents a great opportunity to familiarize yourself with the boat layout and take in the amazing scenery.

PM: Today is all about the wildlife above the water. Take a guided tour of the newly renovated national park of Rinca, and while your guide will likely spot them long before you, keep your eyes sharp for monkeys, wild pigs, water buffalo, deer and Komodo Dragons. Enjoy a factual explanation of their history and come to understand how dragons became the apex land predator of the region. Be welcomed back with a refreshing drink as the boat moves to Pulau Kalong (Bat Island), a mangrove island that comes alive at dusk. Take a drink in hand, find a comfortable seat, and enjoy sunset as thousands of flying foxes take wing overhead. Finally, enjoy a lovely meal as your first day comes to a close.

Siaba/Makassar

AM: Awake in the relaxing bay anchorage of Siaba. Komodo waters owes its abundant marine life to the strong Northerly and Southern currents that run through the park, and today you’re in the centre of it. The first site is home to many Green Turtles, and they can even be spotted from the surface coming up for air before descending back into the depths. The site itself offers a unique contrast between sandy flats and lush coral reef. When the tide is right, snorkel or dive at Batu Bolong, a protruding pinnacle site anyone would find difficult not to enjoy. The thousands of red blennies dance in the swell, backdropped against the colorful shallow soft corals.

PM: After lunch enjoy a snorkel or dive at Manta point and hopefully witness the amazing Manta mating train, a beautiful natural spectacle where a train of males follow the female, mimicking her dance like movements. If you’re wanting to take a break from the water, enjoy a leisurely stroll around Takka Makasar sandbar that rest in the shadow of Komodo Island. Swim in the surrounding waters and earn a tan on the beach before returning after sunset to the boat for a cool refreshing drink and the smell of dinner mingling with ocean air.

Pink Beach /Padar

AM: Awake in the calm waters of Teluk Slaweh and venture to Pink Beach, made famous by the sands pink tinge in the setting sun. The sand owes its colour to a microscopic animal called Foraminifera and its bright red shell. Pink Beach also offers a healthy shallow reef, full of colorful soft corals for snorkeling and a sloping dive site that offers some interesting opportunities, such as frog fish, spotted sting rays and potentially mobula rays passing in the blue.

PM: After the afternoon spent relaxing, kayaking or paddleboarding, enjoy a sunset hike to Padar viewpoint. The view looks northwest towards the setting sun overseeing the park. It’s the poster shot of the region and holds national significance also, as it’s printed on Indonesia’s 50,000 rupiah note. Take in the scenery and the spectacle of seeing a white, pink and black sand beach in a single frame, before descending to be welcomed back to the boat with a refreshing drink and awaiting dinner.
