old friends Pablo Fourcard and
Jordie Strybos launched the first
(in Seminyak) in 2012 and their
style is evident in a signature
Watercress salad of organic greens,
marinated feta, radish, pomelo,
and crisp tempeh, served (onboard
or at beach barbecues) with grilled
fish caught off the yacht.
“We wanted the food to be
light, fresh, healthy and to use
locally sourced ingredients,” says
Barreto. The drinks menu is written
by Proof & Company, best known
for its speakeasy 28 Hongkong
Street in Singapore. It also blended
an exclusive Rascal Rum for
sundowner cocktails on the deck.
Rascalcan navigate anywhere
in Indonesian waters and around
its 17,500 islands, though the
yacht largely divides its time
between Komodo National Park

and Raja Ampat. Guests might

find themselves snorkelling with

manta rays at Makassar Reef or

kayaking around the mangrove

forests of Yanggefo. Or embarking

on unscripted adventures not yet

captured on Instagram – itineraries

are devised in tandem with guests,

allowing maximum flexibility.

There’s only one restriction,

as the yacht’s motto indicates:

“If coconuts don’t grow there,

we don’t go there.”●

Rascalis available for exclusive hire

only, for groups of up to 10 people,

from $US9,350 per night for the

entire boat (minimum three nights).

A typical four-night itinerary in

Raja Ampat, which includes all

meals and non-alcoholic drinks,

park and harbour fees, fuel and

crew, costs from $US41,800.
