Thibaud Epstein reminisces about life aboard in BOAT International

When BOAT International contacted us…

…they didn’t just want to do another feature about our yacht. In fact, they were especially interested in the owners’ story, our boat conversion from a safety standby vessel to the ultimate luxury expedition yacht that she is today as well as unique memories during our first years of operation. In particular, one encounter in a remote village somewhere in West Papua.

Two crew members and I went ashore and were approached by an elderly tribal leader. He looked me in the eye and said “We are 100 men, and we are willing to fight.”
