The Spice Island area is only suitable for sailing from late September to November due to adverse weather conditions during other months. This upcoming trip is our sole opportunity in the entirety of 2024 to embark on this adventure. Additionally, securing a charter for a boutique yacht proves highly challenging, often being fully booked over a year in advance. To reserve your spot for this exclusive journey, a 30% deposit is required by October 25th, 2023. Failing to meet this deadline will result in the yacht company releasing our booking to other eager clients, given the high demand for charter slots on these boutique yachts. Sign up now!

Recommendation
Consider choosing this option if you prefer:

  • More time for sightseeing

  • A more budget-friendly choice

If both dates work for you, it’s best to RSVP both sign up pages first to maximize the chances of the trip happening.

If you are currently based in the US or Europe, you may want to consider joining my Japan trip, which coincides with the same period as the Spice Island journey. This combined adventure would create a comprehensive two-week East Asia trip, optimizing the value of your airfare and time. Please email me for the Japan trip details.
