Ombak Putih Cruises

Come sailing on a beautiful traditional schooner that takes you in splendid comfort into the remote eastern part of the Indonesian archipelago and treat yourself to a lifetime experience that you will never forget.

East of Bali there is a world of exotic cultures and breathtaking natural beauty. This area is as enchanting as it is remote. You will sail by smoldering volcanoes that arise from the sea and you will go ashore on uninhabited islands. Our leisure expeditions will take you to quaint historic harbours, superb tropical beaches, pristine coral reefs and to places where time has literally been standing still, such as the last remaining domain of the prehistoric Komodo dragon.

The formula of Ombak Putih is as simple as it is attractive. Your home-away-from-home is a spacious sailing vessel and you have a comfortable cabin with your own en-suite bathroom. Whenever possible more than six hundred square meters of sails are raised, but there are long periods of very light winds so we also do rely on our engine to safeguard our schedule. An attentive but discrete crew takes care of everything. Most of the sailing is done at night and while you sleep, the captain is on the bridge to take you to yet another splendid anchorage or another lovely harbour. Every new day you will wake up to another surprise. See Ombak Putih Schedule here.

Special Itinerary
As a result of the shift from the East to the West Monsoon and the change of the general sea conditions during the course of the year we vary our sailing itineraries in order to offer the best possible combination of islands to visit and a comfortable voyage while at sea.

From April to November we mainly cover the Bali – Komodo – Flores route. In November and December we visit Flores, Sumba, Savu and the Alor archipelago. During January and February we take the vessel into the dry dock for her annual maintenance and refurbishing. During the month of March we focus on an in-depth exploration of the Komodo National Park.
