OVERVIEW
Aqua Blu – By Cabin Explorer Yacht Charter
Unraveling the secrets of the Banda Sea
The 60m Aqua Blu is the first-ever long-range explorer yacht permanently based in East Indonesia. With a grand naval heritage as the former HMS Beagle, and later the private yacht of European aristocracy, Aqua Blu was completely refitted in 2019 under the vision of Dutch yacht designer Cor D. Rover. Today she offers 15 individually designed suites and expansive social spaces across five decks — redefining modern luxury exploration.
