In the Wake of Wallace: A Journey Through the Forgotten Isles with Dunia Baru
In the spirit of 19th-century explorer Alfred Russel Wallace, Dunia Baru sails where few vessels dare—a 51-meter luxury phinisi yacht tracing a path through the lesser-known Indonesian islands of the Malay Archipelago, where time appears to stand still. This voyage, chronicled in Private Edition, marks not just a charter, but a historical tribute to Wallace’s discoveries and the enduring wonder of the natural world.
Launched from the volcanic shores of Ternate and journeying through the evocatively named Strait of Patience, Dunia Baru offered more than comfort—it offered continuity with the past. Her bespoke yacht charter Indonesia experience is one of both immersion and indulgence: 18 crew members, a full-beam master suite, gourmet galley, and a PADI dive center provide everything one might need—yet the real luxury lies in the silence between islands, the birdsong, and the paddle of a kayak heading toward forgotten shores.
Anchored off Bacan—the “island that history forgot”—the yacht becomes a base for exploration, storytelling, and quiet revelation. Guests walk in the steps of Wallace, observe the biodiversity that inspired the theory of evolution, and sail past 100 uninhabited islands that remain untouched, unhurried, and unspoiled.
Whether it’s dolphin-filled bow waves, jungle-fringed coasts, or whispered encounters with Wallace’s standardwing birds of paradise, Dunia Baru transforms a private yacht charter Indonesia into an experience where legacy and luxury drift seamlessly together.
