Welcome to our website, Sail Indonesia is an annual yacht rally now in its thirteenth year. Our rally begins every year in Darwin late in July and for 2013 the departure day is July 27. Your departure from Darwin is the beginning of a three month program of linked events across Indonesia. These events are supported by the Indonesian Central Government and the Local Government Centers at the destinations you will visit as you cross the country.
Sail Indonesia is managed using the internet and email only and this English language web site is to promote, co-ordinate and organize our rally.

To encourage more yachts to go to Saumlaki as their first port in Indonesia the local government offices along the Northern Route have offered a $250 USD refund in cash and 200 liters of diesel fuel to each yacht that chooses the Northern Route.

Sail Indonesia 2013 will leave from Darwin on Saturday July 27 at 11 am and during the following three months all participants are invited to participate in a linked series of Events and Cultural Festivals at the different stopovers across the country on the islands of Timor, Banda, Lembata, Wakatobi, Flores, Sulawesi, Bali, Java, Borneo, Belitung and finally on to Batam or Bintan just south of Singapore.

The Indonesian Sail Tourism Association ASWINDO led by Dr Aji Sularso will arrange all CIQP matters at each of these stopovers. You will be able to experience different peoples and their cultures, different lifestyles, different arts, different crafts, wonderful foods and of course different languages. You are welcome to participate in all events and stopovers after your first port of entry in Kupang, as the Indonesia Organising Committee at each port will provide you with hospitality, reception and festivities. You do not have to participate in all the events and the stopovers on our rally as there will simply not be enough time, you can just join the events that suit your schedule.

Sail Komodo will be the main marine event for Indonesia in 2013 and as in past years the Local Administration at each of these islands has planned a number of events at the time of your visit which often includes a ceremonial welcome and dinner as well as cultural and arts displays and also dance performances. You will be able to see some of the more remote, interesting and less developed parts of Indonesia as you cross the country often away from the well worn tourist areas.

Singapore is a wonderful stopover, ideal for all services, transfers and a break, after your long voyage across Indonesia. Singapore is home to Raffles Marina, a full-fledged country club, offering a first class range of all facilities and services. Located at the west end of Singapore, away from the hustle and bustle of city, you can immerse yourself in our unique nautical surroundings.
