While yachts are in the cruising grounds, interaction with local villages, both planned and unplanned is inevitable. An Indonesian speaking guide can alleviate communication challenges and enable Captain and crew to focus on serving guests rather than talking with local officials or village leaders; guides can also coordinate a visit to the village if guests are interested in cultural interactions.
In addition, a guide must have enough experience to lead guest activities during diving, snorkeling and kayaking. An in depth understanding of oceanic conditions at several signature dive sites in Indonesia can be the difference between an incredible dive and a challenging experience for guests.
The Lighthouse Consultancy has a network of both international and Indonesian guides available to join cruises. Made Suarsana and Djamal Djalal are full time cruising guides with the Consultancy, along with a selection of highly experienced international guides who work exclusively with Lighthouse. We are able to meet the range of requirements needed by individual yachts.
