The Lighthouse Consultancy

Destination

The Indonesian Yacht Experience offers adventurous yacht owners and captains some of the most intriguing and virgin cruising to be found anywhere in the world. As well as beautiful top side activities, intimate village excursions and hikes to locations of unique picturesque scenery, the rich oceans of Indonesia host dive locations teeming with fish life against backdrops of pristine coral reefs. Though the archipelago is remote and some areas seemingly several days from civilization, with the right assistance, the infrastructure is in place to support yachts visiting the region for extended periods, however it is critical to have the right assistance.

Provisioning

The island of Bali is an international tourist destination and is home to a number of luxury resorts, restaurants and 5-Star residences. As a result, high quality supplies and provisioning can be sourced and regular imports mean that most items, however unusual, can be arranged. Across Indonesia, supplies are considerably more limited although this situation is improving. The Lighthouse Consultancy understands the importance of yacht provisioning to the success of every cruise and provides direct and personal support to the yacht. A unique level of attention is paid to the sourcing, packing and shipping process, putting years of living on the island to maximum effect.

Shore Support

Lighthouse has a unique understanding of the operation of cruise vessels in Indonesia which allows the company to effectively guide and advise yacht captains of their options. After 10 years in the dive industry in Indonesia operating a highly successful dive liveaboard cruising all areas of Indonesia, Andy Shorten developed extensive networks of contacts in multiple ports across the country. Having intricate knowledge of the geographical, cultural and marine attractions in the cruise areas enables Lighthouse to offer suggestions on itineraries and cruise routes to truly experience the best that Indonesia can offer. The team truly provides 360° support 24 hours a day.
