This experience, in a nutshell

Eight days on a sailing boat to discover the most spectacular places in Raja Ampat, starting from Waisai to immediately enter the wilderness of Batanta, among jungle, hidden bays and waterfalls.

We'll then sail through Dampier Strait, snorkeling in the magnificent reefs of Cape Kri and Mansuar, among corals, turtles and an extraordinary variety of tropical fish. We will visit the small village of Arborek and reach Manta Point, where we will have the chance to meet the large manta rays.


The route will continue to Piaynemo, with its unforgettable view of the karst islands and turquoise lagoons, Melissa's Garden, one of the most spectacular coral gardens in the archipelago, and the Fam Islands, among white beaches, islets and anchorages surrounded by nature.

A journey made up of short sailings, snorkeling, shore excursions and life at anchor, before heading to Sorong for disembarkation.

It was a wonderful sailing trip. Francesco was not only a great skipper but also a great cook. We had all the combinations of wind and weather, but under the guidance of the skipper you always felt safe. Thank you for the great trip to New Zealand. Christoph

We thank Anna and Ghego for the absolutely great time. Lots of adventure in the water and on land. The food was really good. Anna and Ghego are very welcoming and easy going, we loved our time on the Mezar :) Ghego is a very skilled sailor and Anna with her artist side add a magical touch to the experience.

I had the time of my life with Francesco and Anna on board of [hidden] 3. The destination was breathtaking, we had lots of fun with the other guests while visiting, snorkeling and just hanging out. The program was perfect. And finally Francesco is not only an incredibly reassuring and calm captain, but he is also an amazing chef. Same goes for Anna, whose home(or boat)-made focaccia and ricotta were amazing. Thank you for this perfect trip !
