Local employment
Over 95% of our crew, guides and ground staff are Indonesian nationals, with paid training and professional development.
Sustainability
Sustainability and community impact
Marine conservation, carbon responsibility and community empowerment: an operating principle, not an initiative.
Marine conservation
Protecting the Coral Triangle.
We support the Coral Triangle Center in Bali and The Nature Conservancy’s Indonesian marine programmes, financially and logistically. A portion of every charter fee funds reef restoration, marine protected areas and research.
Crews enforce a no-touch policy for all marine life, and dive masters brief guests on local ecosystems and responsible snorkelling and diving.
On every vessel
- No single-use plastic bottles, straws or bags
- Water purification and reusable containers
- Reef-safe sunscreen, free for every guest
- Responsible anchoring, moorings where possible
- Waste sorted, stored and landed at port
- Park rules kept in Komodo and Raja Ampat
Carbon responsibility
Measure, reduce, offset.
Travel has a carbon footprint. We track ours and act on it.
- Annual audits
- Fleet fuel consumption and company operating emissions, audited every year.
- Offset programme
- Through the Rimba Raya Biodiversity Reserve in Central Kalimantan, a verified REDD+ project protecting peat swamp forest. Every client may offset; we match each contribution.
- Efficient operations
- Routes, speeds and engine use planned with captains for fuel efficiency, never at the cost of safety or comfort.
Community
Benefits that stay local.
Where we stand
Becoming a more responsible operator is work in progress.
We commit to transparency and continuous improvement, so Indonesia’s reefs and communities can be enjoyed by generations to come.
