Bali, Komodo & Raja Ampat Sailing Editorial Desk

Bali, Komodo & Raja Ampat Sailing Editorial Desk publishes this site. We keep the byline at desk level on purpose: the research, the drafting and the later corrections rarely belong to one person, and a shared name is the honest way to describe shared work.

What this desk publishes

The pages fall into a few groups: boat charters, diving trips, how the itineraries are put together and what things actually cost. Each one stays with whoever on the desk last handled that subject, which is also who answers when a reader writes in about it.

How we handle what we have not confirmed

Indonesian rules and tariffs change on their own schedule. Where we have confirmed something against an official source we say so; where we have not, the page says that too. An unmarked estimate is the one thing we will not publish.

What this desk does not claim

There are no credentials, licence numbers or career histories quoted on this site. Claims like that need paperwork behind them, and we would rather publish nothing than publish something we cannot evidence. Treat these pages as background reading, not as professional advice.

Corrections are welcome. If a page here is wrong or stale, say so and it gets edited rather than defended. You can reach the desk through our contact page.
