Vegetarian, Vegan and Dietary Needs on an Indonesia Yacht Charter

Yes. On a private yacht charter in Indonesia the chef cooks only for your group, so vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, halal and allergy friendly menus are prepared on request. Tell us your diets and allergies when you book; the crew buys ingredients in Labuan Bajo or Sorong before departure, because there are few shops along the route.

How the chef plans your menus

  • Share every diet and allergy for each guest when you book, and again in the pre charter form
  • The chef plans menus around them and the crew buys ingredients before you board
  • Indonesian food is naturally rich in rice, vegetables, tofu, tempeh, coconut and fruit, so plant based meals are easy
  • Breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks are included; special products you cannot find locally can be brought from Bali on request

Diets the crew can cater for

  • Vegetarian and vegan, including tofu, tempeh, gado gado, curries and fresh fruit
  • Gluten free and dairy free
  • Halal: many crews are Muslim and pork free kitchens are common; ask us per yacht
  • Pescatarian, with fresh fish from local fishermen
  • Nut, shellfish and other allergies, with a clear list given to the chef and crew
  • Children's meals and simple food for picky eaters

Tips for a smooth trip

  • Be specific: "no egg or dairy" is clearer than "mostly vegan"
  • For severe allergies, bring your own medication; the nearest hospital can be hours away
  • Mention favourite brands of plant milk or snacks early so they can be sourced in Bali
  • Ask for an Indonesian cooking class on board; most chefs are happy to show you
