The Giant Sequoia: The World’s Largest Tree Symbolizing Growth and Achievement

Sequoia, a solid all-wood yacht, is named after the Giant Sequoia, the world’s largest tree symbolizing growth and achievement. The Sequoia Experience celebrates personal milestones, offering a meaningful space to reflect and enjoy successes. Inspired by a Swiss chalet, Sequoia features three spacious suites, a versatile library, expansive outdoor decks, and numerous lounging areas, all adorned with Indonesian fine art and modern furnishings. Fresh perennials, designer fabrics, and tropical flowers add to the inviting atmosphere. The stunning Awlwood varnish enhances the 100% Ironwood and Teakwood hull.

Double Outdoor Decks

Emphasizing Space, Privacy, and Comfort

Sequoia is meticulously designed with an emphasis on space, privacy, and comfort, featuring ample lounging areas. The remarkable 60 m² (650 ft²) “Sky Deck” provides unmatched freedom and privacy, offering a 270-degree elevated view of pristine oceans and stunning islands. This deck is an ideal setting for outdoor dining under the stars, enjoying an outdoor cinema experience, or unwinding on large cushioned Clamshell beds. The Main Deck features a “The Great Room” that spans 34 m² (350 ft²) and serves as an open-air social area for guests to enjoy the refreshing ocean breeze. Enclosed by 20 handmade teak-louvered doors, this area can be shut off for dive briefings, dining, or intimate conversations around a spacious teak table. Additionally, the Tender Bar is available to serve freshly brewed coffee, cocktails, and delightful drinks whenever desired.

The Library

A Versatile Haven for an Office Away from Office

The Sky Suite bedroom features an adjoining library, a versatile space perfect for reading, listening to music, or working on the computer. This area is ideal for starting your day with fresh coffee and an inspiring sunrise. It can also serve as an indoor dining venue on rainy nights. Sequoia boasts a wonderful collection of high-quality coffee table books, ranging from “The Story of Batik” to “Birds of Paradise,” perfect for enjoying while sipping TWG tea and sampling delicious cake.

Three Suites

Stylish and Cozy Suite for Modern Living

Sequoia offers unique accommodations featuring three luxurious suites. The upper deck “Sky Suite” provides complete privacy and is connected to a library and sky deck. For those traveling with kids or friends, the main deck includes two guest suites: the “Island Suite” and the “Ocean Suite.” These suites are separately located and can be configured with either twin or double bed arrangements. All suites are fully air-conditioned and equipped with super king-sized beds, a working desk, a Marshall Bluetooth speaker, and a Caesarstone Quartz en-suite bathroom featuring sleek Axor fixtures. The highlight is the heavenly Tempur-Pedic latex mattress, complemented by feather goose down or alternative pillows, and a silk duvet insert, all dressed in the finest Belgian linens or your choice of Pima cotton.

The Engine Room

Blending Heritage with Cutting-Edge Marine Technology

Sequoia has expertly integrated the finest elements of traditional Sulawesi carvel planking wooden hull construction—recognized as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity—with cutting-edge marine machinery, hardware, and electronics to create this outstanding vessel. The emphasis on advanced technology enhances both comfort and safety for guests. Additionally, all installed components meet the lowest emissions standards as per the guidelines set by the US Environmental Protection Agency, USCG and ABYC.
