Captain - Haswan
Hailing from East Java, one of the main seafaring areas of the archipelago, Captain Haswan has sailed the Indonesian waters for more than twenty years. Highly-experienced Captain Haswan oversees his navigation team composed of Chief Officer Mastur and Second Officer Hairul, together with a three-man engineering team and three deck crew, ensuring that our guests are in the best of hands. Despite her traditional bearing, S/Y Vela is a brand new build and is equipped with the latest navigational technologies and safety equipment.

Cruise Director - Clive White
Clive has been based in South-East Asia for more than 20 years, starting his career as an underwater videographer before becoming a dive instructor and a cruise director between Thailand and Burma. Clive gained first-hand experience of the Indonesian archipelago and its stunning cruising grounds when he joined Dunia Baru in 2018, where he worked for the next 5 years. During that time, Clive led a handful of research trips carrying marine surveys around Raja Ampat to study black coral, as well as a whale watching study with Conservation International around Alor.

Activities Manager - Yoyok Hariawan
Vela’s Head of Activities and PADI-certified diving instructor, Yoyok, has a wealth of experience training over three hundred individuals under PADI’s strict diving standards. Prior to joining Vela, Yoyok introduced beginner and advanced divers to the
underwater marvels of Eastern Indonesia at Moyo Island’s Amanwana as well as S/Y Amandira and S/Y Amanikan for over twenty years. His professional yet relaxed style ensures that both new or experienced divers will enjoy their experience underwater to its fullest potential. Yoyok possesses outstanding knowledge of the hidden gems of Komodo, Raja Ampat and beyond, helping the guests take advantage of all Vela has to offer from land and water-based activities, such as trekking, water skiing or wakeboarding, paddle boarding and kayaks, to our two Yamaha powered jets skis (where permitted).

Head chef - Agus Jayadi
With over 40 years of experience, Chef Widi brings a deep passion for culinary excellence to Vela. Having worked at Aman Resorts for many years, both at Amanwana in Moyo Island and on board their phinisi, Amandira, his expertise spans a diverse range of cuisines and techniques. Born in Bali, Chef Widi has traveled extensively across Australia and South-East Asia, refining his skills and drawing inspiration from the rich flavors of the regions. His dedication to fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented dishes ensures that every meal on board Vela is a highlight of the journey.

Head of F&B Service - Made Arta Swabawa
Bawa, a graduate of the Bali Hospitality School, began his career at Akademi Bar, the experimental and hyper-local mixology bar of Potato Head’s Katamama hotel. He then developed his management skills at IHG Indigo Seminyak before becoming head bartender at Nirjhara, our sister resort. With his attention to detail, charisma and sense of humor, Bawa constantly delights our guests by refining and developing new cocktails using local fruits, herbs and spices, crafting creative tipples that showcase Indonesia’s heritage under a contemporary light. He is supported by Eka, his former partner at Nirjhara, and works closely with the front of the house crew to deliver the highest levels of bespoke service.

Head of Housekeeping - Abdul Karim
Our Head of Housekeeping Karim worked with Aman Resorts for 26 years, spending most of his working career at Amanwana in housekeeping and F&B service. Karim developed a keen eye for detail while at Aman, honing his service skills with one of the world’s most prestigious hospitality brands. Constantly eager to learn and grow, Karim passed his PADI divemaster certification in 2005, and began working with Aman’s two yachts, S/Y Amandira and S/Y Amanikan, taking beginner and experienced divers out on dives around the archipelago. As a certified divemaster, Karim now assists our Head of Activities when needed. With the support of our two skilled therapists and housekeepers, Dewi and Julia, Karim brings a deep knowledge of Indonesian culture and traditions, with a dedication of service like no other.

Questions & Answers

How does the charter contract work?

The contract is signed directly between the Owner and the Charterer, with the support of the broker. It is usually based on the international MYBA contract model, designed to ensure clear and balanced protection for both parties.
There is also the figure of the Stakeholder, responsible for safely holding the funds until the end of the charter.

What is included in the charter fee?

The base rate includes the rental of the yacht, the use of all onboard equipment, the presence of the crew, and the related insurance coverage.
Operational expenses such as fuel, provisioning, marina fees, beverages, and additional activities are not included and are managed through the APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance).

The exact list of what is included or excluded will be confirmed when selecting the yacht.

What is the APA and how does it work?

The APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance) is an advance fund, usually equal to 25–35% of the charter fee, allocated to cover operational expenses such as fuel, provisioning, marina fees, paid activities, beverages, and the guests’ personalized requests.

At the end of the cruise, the Captain provides a detailed breakdown of all expenditures. Any unused amount is refunded to the client, while any overages are settled directly upon closing the charter.

What are the payment terms?

Upon signing the contract, a payment of 50% of the total amount is required.
The balance — including APA, taxes, and any additional charges — is typically due around five weeks before embarkation (depending on the owner).
Payments are made via bank transfer, which is the standard method in the luxury charter industry.

Can I cancel a booking?

Yes, cancellations are possible, but the contractual terms apply.
In general, if the client decides to withdraw, the Owner retains the deposits already paid.

If the yacht is rebooked for the same period, the Owner refunds the amount recovered, minus the applicable commissions.

Every cancellation request is handled with full transparency.
Further details on the applicable policies are available upon direct request.

How can I choose the yacht that best suits my needs?

The choice depends primarily on the type of experience you wish to enjoy:

  • Motor yacht for maximum comfort, excellent stability, and fast transfers.

  • Sailing yacht for an authentic, quiet experience rooted in traditional navigation.

  • Catamaran for generous spaces, superior stability, and enhanced privacy.

BeBlue evaluates the destination, number of guests, personal preferences, and budget to select the most suitable option for you.

How far in advance should I book?

For peak season (Mediterranean: June–September; Caribbean: December–April), it is advisable to book several months in advance to secure the best available options.
We can also handle last-minute requests, depending on availability and licensing requirements.

Is it possible to personalise menus, preferences, and activities?

Absolutely. Before departure, you will receive a Preference Sheet where you can indicate your tastes, dietary needs, allergies, beverage preferences, and the activities you wish to enjoy.
The Chef and the Captain will use this information to create a fully customised experience for you.

How many guests can be accommodated on board?

Most yachts can host 6 to 12 guests, depending on their interior layout.
Some superyachts over 80 metres, compliant with international certifications, can accommodate up to 36 guests.

Will I have Internet access during the charter?

Most yachts offer Wi-Fi on board, provided through mobile networks or satellite systems. The quality and speed of the connection may vary depending on the cruising area and the technology installed.

Is tipping the crew expected?

Tipping is not mandatory, but it is a well-established custom to show appreciation for the crew’s service.
International guidelines suggest an amount equal to 10–15% of the base charter fee as a reference.
