Escaping Jakarta on a sail boat

Sailing to Kepulauan Seribu (Thousand Islands), off the northern coast of Jakarta, is a bit challenging, but definitely a nice thing to do.

The only regency administration under Jakarta, Kepulauan Seribu offers many small, remote islands with pristine beaches and enchanting lagoon. However, the seas can get pretty rough, especially in bad weather.

Last weekend, The Jakarta Post Travel came a sailing trip to Karang Beras Island, one of the islands in the regency. You can choose different types of boat, including a speedboat, but we chose the classic sailboat as it is the most eco-friendly way to travel.

The boat, made ​​in Germany monohull L'Aquila, has two sails and could accommodate up to nine passengers.

As it turned out, there was no wind that day. Although it normally takes four to five hours to get there, it took us to the island, which is 40 kilometers northwest of Jakarta reach. Nine hours

At least we have learned how to sail and to really navigate using the wind and the compass.

The tour began at the Batavia Marina and during the trip we passed other islands such as Ayer Besar, Ubi Besar, Untung Jawa and Karang Gosong Dapur. The view and the sunset were delicious.

After our long journey, our captain Sugi anchored the boat in an idyllic lagoon outside Karang Beras. There were also other boats are anchored.

We dined on the Sung Fung, a much larger boat, and that night slept on the deck.

As Karang Beras is actually a private island, access is limited, but we were able to swim in the lagoon and explore Karang Beras Kecil, a smaller island nearby.

This small, uninhabited island is covered with tall pine trees and has a long, white sandy beach. It is a perfect place to escape from the noisy life mainland.

If considering not doing your thing many islands in Kepulauan Seribu offer great places to swim, snorkel or scuba diving for certified divers. You can also watch the sea turtle breeding Pramuka Island.

To achieve those places you can rent a sailboat or a day trip for only Rp. 250,000 per person.
