Onboard Experience
Aqua Blu accommodates up to 32 guests in 15 bright, well-appointed cabins spread across four decks. Each suite is air-conditioned and designed to feel calm and restrained, with natural light streaming through large windows on the upper decks and portholes on the lower deck.
The bridge deck features an inter-connecting master and double cabin, while the forecastle deck hosts another master-double pair and an additional double suite. On the main deck, five cabins – a mix of twins and doubles – offer generous proportions and a sense of ease, with further double and twin cabins located on the lower deck.
Soft tones, contemporary furnishings, and clean lines define the interiors. Every cabin is designed with practicality and comfort in mind, providing quiet retreats between days spent diving, exploring, or cruising Indonesia’s island chains.
Cabin Overview
Onboard Experience
Aqua Blu’s main deck is arranged around an expansive indoor salon and dedicated dining room, with a relaxed outdoor lounge on the aft. The atmosphere is contemporary yet warm: polished surfaces, soft fabrics, and wide windows creating spaces that feel open and considered.
Further communal areas unfold across the upper decks: the forecastle deck offers a library, TV room, and the sky lounge bar, leading out to alfresco dining and shaded seating. On the bridge deck, guests will find the spa and Jacuzzi, while the sun deck above provides a large lounge bench and sun loungers for long, unhurried afternoons at sea.
Adventure lies at the heart of Aqua Blu’s design. The yacht carries snorkelling and diving equipment, kayaks, stand-up paddle boards, two zodiacs, a compact gym, and complimentary WiFi where available. Her size and build ensure smooth crossings, making remote regions more accessible while maintaining a sense of quiet, contemporary refinement.

Explore Indonesia
Situated off the coast of West Papua, Raja Ampat is a chain of 1,500 jungle-clad islands with limestone cliffs, white sand beaches and luminous turquoise seas. Known as one of the most biodiverse marine regions on earth, its reefs host an extraordinary variety of coral and fish.
Days unfold between quiet bays, sweeping coral gardens and karst peaks that offer panoramic views across the archipelago. Even above the waterline, the landscapes feel wild, sculptural and untouched, with hidden coves and lagoons only accessible by tender.
Private yacht routes here often extend into neighbouring regions such as Maluku, Triton Bay and Cenderawasih, revealing remote anchorages, serene beaches and moments of deep stillness in one of Indonesia’s most remarkable frontiers.
Situated east of Bali and Sumbawa, Komodo National Park is a rugged chain of islands shaped by volcanic ridges, pink-sand beaches and clear, dramatic seas. Home to the famed Komodo dragon, this UNESCO-listed region offers landscapes that feel raw, ancient and untamed.
Above water, rolling hills, savannah grasslands and quiet inlets create a shifting palette of ochres and greens. Beneath the surface, nutrient-rich currents support manta rays, coral gardens and thriving marine life, making Komodo one of Indonesia’s most varied cruising grounds.
Private yacht journeys here unfold between secluded bays, sunset ridges and remote dive sites, often combining nearby regions such as Sumbawa or Flores. Anchorages are peaceful, the scenery cinematic, and the sense of remoteness unmistakable.
The Spice Islands, known historically as the Moluccas, sit at the crossroads of ancient trade routes and early maritime exploration. Once the world’s only source of nutmeg and cloves, these islands retain a rich cultural legacy shaped by sultans, traders and centuries of seafaring.
The landscapes are gentle and green, with quiet villages, preserved forts and volcanic silhouettes rising over sheltered bays. Coral reefs ring many of the smaller isles, offering warm, clear waters that feel far from the bustle of modern Indonesia.
Yacht itineraries through Maluku often include Banda, Kei or Seram, unfolding between cinnamon-coloured coastlines, historic anchorages and reefs alive with colour. It is a region where history, and natural beauty meet in a way that feels timeless.
West Papua stretches along the far eastern edge of Indonesia, a land of immense cultural and ecological diversity. Its coastline weaves through jungle-clad peninsulas, river deltas and remote island chains, offering a sense of scale and wildness found in few other places.
Inland, dense forests shelter ancient traditions, distinctive art forms and communities whose lives remain closely tied to their environment. Along the coast, limestone cliffs, mangroves and hidden bays create a dramatic setting for exploration by sea.
Private yacht journeys often extend through Cenderawasih Bay, Triton Bay or the remote Bird’s Head Peninsula, revealing whale sharks, karst islands and quiet waters ideal for long, unbroken days on the ocean. West Papua remains one of Indonesia’s most stirring and untouched frontiers.
Guest Testimonials
I have experienced a good number of dive boats and I can honestly say Fenides was the best. The crew were really excellent. Dom ran the ship and the whole cruise with great skill and good humour.
Dominic, London
We consider ourselves fairly demanding and I can tell you there is nothing these guys can do to improve the experience... We are determined to get back on board in the future, probably next in Komodo but will surely be back to Raja Ampat.
Valerie, London
Fenides really is a stunning boat with everything you could hope for. Dom and his team are absolutely first class. Delicious food, great diving and other excursions, and beautifully organised.

"Beauty is found in the understated elegance and impeccable attention to detail. Every day was unique! But above all, this trip wouldn’t have been as special without the crew. We are already planning our next voyage on Oracle to see them again.”
