The Yacht
The yacht that anchors on the reef and sets up the beach.
Rascal is a luxurious beach house on the water, built for the day on land as much as the day at sea. Natural teak floors, an indoor bar at the center of the boat with her own-label rum, an alfresco dining deck placed for the sea breeze, and a large roof deck of 1,280 square feet for sunsets. Each afternoon the crew set up a private beach with umbrellas, music and coolers, and it becomes the part of the week guests always remember.
At 30 meters she is the smallest boat in our fleet, small and perfectly formed. She slips into the small bays and tight anchorages that the bigger boats pass. Two RIB tenders, a PADI instructor, kayaks, paddleboards, water skis, a wakeboard and a banana boat cover the water. Her operating rule is one sentence: if coconuts do not grow there, she does not go there.
Handcrafted in teak and ironwood by the Konjo builders of Sulawesi, she carries her five cabins across two decks above the waterline, so the rooms stay bright, the ceilings high and the views constant. The master on the upper deck opens onto a private balcony with its own loungers.
Her interiors read as a designer beach house afloat, an east-meets-west blend with ample storage for the long itineraries and a film library and music system in every cabin. She was built, in her builders' own words, for barefoot fun in the far-flung islands.
The Experience
The Right Guests for Rascal
As her name suggests, Rascal is for fun-loving families and groups of friends. She is a true leisure boat: beaches, water sports, good food and cocktails, with casual diving alongside, and she takes ten guests and no more. For a family with young children the formula is short cruising days, beaches to run on, reefs to reach from the sand, and a crew that becomes part of the family. The bunk cabin on the main deck is for the children, and we can arrange a nanny to travel with you and have toys and a travel crib on board before arrival. Equally, a group of couples who want an active week of water sports, long dinners and laughter will find Rascal the perfect platform.
Our journal piece on chartering Rascal with young children records how a week works: Friwin's long white beach on the first day, the jetty at Yenbuba on the second morning, where a four-year-old saw her first turtle, children's films loaded before the family arrived, and a crew that had warmed to the children by the first breakfast.
The Vessel
Technical Specifications
Accommodation
Five Rooms, Five Personalities
The master suite occupies the upper deck, its king bed framed by large windows and a private balcony where lounge chairs face whatever the sea is doing that morning. Below, four more cabins span the upper and main decks: three are configured as doubles, one carries bunk beds suited to children or anyone who enjoys a climb. Each space is individually styled, east-meets-west in its references, with natural teak floors, air conditioning, flat-screen televisions, and interactive music systems throughout.
High ceilings and above-water positioning keep all five cabins naturally bright. Ample storage removes the compromises that come with living out of bags. Rascal was designed for extended passages, and the cabins feel like it, comfortable enough to be home for 10 nights without anyone feeling confined.
Aboard
The anchorage is yours. No other vessel for 40 miles. The only decision is whether to dive first or just float for a while.
A Closer Look
Rascal in Detail
Who built her and why, the crew that takes to children, where she goes, and the beach day that is her signature.
Built in 2016 for One Purpose
Konjo craftsmen in Sulawesi built her in teak and ironwood to a brief her founders can state in one sentence. One of them put it to us this way: "I want people to think, at the end of each day, that it was one of the best of their lives." Everything about her follows from that.
Eleven for Ten
A captain and cruise director who plan the route with the group, a PADI instructor who runs the water, a galley that cooks separate portions for children at every meal, and a crew that takes to them from the first morning.
Komodo, the Banda Sea, Raja Ampat
Komodo from April through October, the Spice Islands and the Banda Sea on the April and October crossings, and Raja Ampat from November through March. Repositioning between Bali and the Banda Islands is possible on request.
Set Up Every Afternoon
Umbrellas, music, coolers and a picnic laid out as if for a photograph, on a different beach each afternoon. Rascal does the day on land as well as any yacht in Indonesia.

Is Rascal suitable for diving?
