What we’ve discovered from planning our personal travels is that nothing brings a family or friends together like experiencing the wondrous world in comfort and ease. Traveling in a well thought out space with multiple activities and added amenities allows everyone to explore a new destination on their schedule while creating memories that will last a lifetime.
When designing Aliikai, we wanted to create a yacht that brings people together, not only the people you’re traveling with but with those living in the far reaches of Indonesia. Experiencing foreign cultures allows us to see the world from a new perspective and appreciation.
Aliikai is our gift to you.”
