Built in Holland in 1902, this beautiful teak-decked vessel sailed throughout Scandinavia, the Baltic, Mediterranean and Caribbean for almost 100 years - and its log book is still displayed in the “Scheepsmuseum” in Groningen, Holland. After an extensive refit in 2011, Adelaar began life as a luxury liveaboard, equipped with top class facilities and the luxury of a five-star hotel. Since then, Adelaar has provided style-soaked experiences throughout Indonesia. This vessel’s incredible itineraries also include hidden gems of Komodo, Alor and Flores, as well as adventurous excursions to secluded beaches and cultural villages.

Adelaar caters to today’s discerning traveller, who expects the best in luxury sailing and diving. The first-class crew - selected for their expertise and experience in these waters - look after just eight guests on board, making Adelaar the perfect choice for an intimate luxury liveaboard experience. Between dives, guests enjoy sleek luxury in air conditioned ensuite cabins, an opulent saloon and a stunning sun deck. And when you’re not dining under the stars, cocktail in hand, or kayaking through crystal waters, you’ll be exploring Indonesia’s world-famous dive sites and untouched remote islands from the superb dive deck.
