Palau to Thailand

4,000 Nautical Miles via Bali, Gili Islands, Komodo, Borneo, Singapore, Tioman, Koh Samui, Bangkok
For S/Y Argo's 24 shipmates, the experience begins when you step off the plane and out of the airport into the archipelago nation of Palau.  The noises, the language, and the smells are all bound to send your senses into a whirl but don't become too accustomed as you are about to trade the light of the stars reflecting off the calm waters for those "red-over-green" sailing lights and depart onward into the Philippine Sea en route to the Gulf of Thailand. In between, you get to master the ropes of a classically-rigged modern-day sailing yacht; prime your camera lenses for a National Geographic shot of the world's only living species of dragon in the Komodo National Park and drop anchor in amongst the spectacular scenery of Raja Ampat. Has all that got your tail feathers ruffled? It has got us just a little bit excited, to say the least.

The Voyage

Your Adventure Starts Here
Welcome aboard!

The journey begins when you and your fellow shipmates arrive and meet each other for the first time in Palau.  From there, you step aboard our 112-ft schooner, S/Y Argo, tied alongside the dock with an eager crew of 6 staff waiting to greet you with a smile. After dropping your bags in your cabin, it’s time to take a breath, look around, and realize that this beautiful schooner floating atop the exotic Indonesian waters is now your home and classroom for the next 90 days as you embark on the voyage of a lifetime.

Learning the Ropes
8-10 days

Early on day two, we cast off our lines and the journey begins. As with all Sea|mester voyages, the first week to ten days of the program is a crash course on how to be successful in your new environment. With the guidance of our staff, you’ll learn the in’s and out’s of how to live, work and learn in such close quarters with others – from sailing to cooking and everything in between.

Those new to scuba diving will spend quite a bit of time underwater off the shores of Bali working towards the PADI Open Water Certification. Those arriving with more experience will get reacquainted with the underwater world by taking a few refresher dives.

During the first week, you’ll also have your first lectures for each of the four college-level courses. While the structure of the syllabi might look familiar, you’ll quickly find that learning from the deck of a boat couldn’t be more different.

Exploring the Underwater Realm
20-25 Dives

Whether in the beautiful waters of Micronesia, Malaysia and Indonesia, or the Gulf of Thailand, students onboard Argo will experience some of the world’s best scuba diving. Over the course of the 90-day voyage, you’ll become an experienced diver, completing between 20 and 25 dives. However, the novelty of breathing underwater won’t disappear.

Whether working towards a new certification in 15 feet of water, researching on a fringing reef, or just exploring a wreck at 100 ft. – you’ll gain a lifetime worth of stories from places few people get to see.

If you’re new to diving, you’ll earn the PADI Open Water Diver Certification as well as the Advanced Open Water Diver Certification. If you’re already an experienced diver, you can work all the way up to Rescue Diver or the professional Divemaster certification. If you feel that scuba diving is a passion, this is definitely the voyage to consider.

Anchors Down – Palau, micronesia
(21 days)

A bucket list destination for every seasoned scuba diver and avid traveler, Vela’s shipmates have the opportunity of a lifetime to visit the pristine waters and culturally rich islands of Palau. A diver’s dream, you’ll be able to notch up some more bottom time whether exploring the vivid reefs, checking out the wrecks of WW2 bombers or assisting local Ocean Conservation NGO’s with underwater data collection. Students will also have the chance to visit the world-renowned Jelly Fish Lake in Koror State.

Anchors Down – Raja Ampat, Indonesia
(21 days)

Raja Ampat or “The Four Kings” is without a doubt one of the jewels of the Indonesian Archipelago. Off the beaten track and rarely visited by tourists other than the occasional cruising yacht, the limestone karst spires remain a sight to behold. Our students will have an opportunity to submerge themselves into the company of the spectacular reef ecosystems. Imagine yourself waking up to an intriguing lecture on Indo-Pacific reef dynamics in the morning and then witnessing it first hand in the afternoon. You’re living “The Blue Planet” footage first hand here in Raja Ampat.

> Next stop: Komodo National Park

Anchors Down – Indonesia – Komodo National Park
(3-4 days)

This island may be best known for the dragons that rule it without competition but it’s the saturated colors you’ll find exploring this place that will stick with you. Jade sloping hills fade seamlessly into the pink sands that lead to the red coral and endless indigo sea. As you become more comfortable with being underwater, the steep reefs and abundant wildlife of Komodo will continue to astonish on certification and fun dives. No visit would be complete without a visit to the fishing village of Kampung Komodo or a hike to the islands in search of dragons.

cultural exchange
connecting people with places

In some ports of call, locals will hardly bat an eyelash when a shiny schooner with 31 souls drops anchor in their harbor. Larger cities and resort hubs are accustomed to a degree of transience with up to thousands of foreigners flowing through their streets in a single day. On the flip side, much of the Indonesian Archipelago is out of the way and rarely visited.

As a result, the farther you sail from civilization the more you’ll find the people to be welcoming, cheerful and unfailingly obliging. Whether it’s picking up a beach soccer game with local kids in Bali or lending a hand to the community in the Gili Islands – you’ll find meaningful connections every step of the way.

Academics Aboard
12 USF Credits

Throughout the voyage, it’s easy to forget that this is College even though academics are an integral part of the experience. Our instructors schedule 3 or 4 lectures, discussions, or labs per class each week and each course includes quizzes, research projects, midterms, and finals.

Learning in an environment that combines academia with experience allows you to truly interact with your education. It brings academics to life, adding relevance and practical application to the material. Learning has never been this fun!

Anchors Down – Indonesia – Bali
(14 Days)

The otherworldly nature of the Balinese landscape is mirrored and perhaps magnified by the heavily spiritual and joyful culture and customs of its people. You’ll be caught up in the whirlwind that is Balinese daily life by venturing into some of the island’s most iconic temples and participating in the spiritual fire dances performed island-wide. Bali is also a world-famous destination for surfers of all skill levels – you’ll take a lesson and have a chance to hang ten on the world famous Kuta Beach.

Anchors Down – Gulf of Thailand – Koh Samui
(5-7 days)

The largest of the islands which make up the Chumphon Archipelago, Koh Sumui will be your main destination during your time in the Gulf of Thailand. It’s here, in the protected bays to the North of the island, Open Water divers will take their first breaths beneath the surface. Whether exploring the fishing villages of Bophut or if the slightly more raucous suburb of Chaweng takes your fancy, shore time exploration is sure to offer up your quota of culture during your stopover in Koh Samui.

Rite of Passage
Life and Rhythm on the Big Blue

It’s amazing to set sail each morning and reflect on what you’ve already accomplished but once life at sea starts to become your new normal, after you’ve gone through your station drills, man overboard scenarios, fire drills etc. – it will be time to put your new skills to the test on this southbound passage. From here on out, the distances between ports become greater. You’ll battle squalls and make the tradewinds work for you as you learn to soak in passage life. Throughout your 80-day voyage, the longest passage can be up to 10 days long with the average passage being 2-5 days. Make no mistake, as a Sea|mester student you are not a passenger, you are the crew responsible for making the ship sail. You’ll be an integral part of a watch team sharing the responsibility of navigation, bow watch, engine checks, sail trim and steering the ship to its intended destination.

A lot can happen in 80 days. You can get your hair cut or find out you have a new favorite food, you can go to school for a semester or loose contact with the outside world, or you can live on a schooner. All of this happened to us. In 80 days you can make a family of 19 people that you create endless stories of challenge, hilarity, happiness, and success. In 80 days a boat full of hooligans like us can make it across an ocean and back and manage to still want to live with each other for another month where the farthest you can be from someone is 112 feet. In 80 days there may have been times where buttons were pressed and nerves were tested but no matter what tears are shed when our family is split up. In 80 days bonds are made that will never be broken and relationships between human and boat or human to human have never meant so much to us as they do now. Seamester isn’t just an abroad program for college students it is something that enhances our lives, makes our minds richer with world view, and broadens our love for the ocean and much more. I sit here in the charthouse thinking of what I will do next and how it will ever be able to compete with Seamester but I remind myself of what our Captain Kris told us, that we are never to stop adventuring and not to let Seamester be the biggest and best adventure we have, but I know that Seamester is the start of my adventures and will remain one of the most amazing things I have ever done in my life. To everyone who has made this experience what it is, I thank you and I’m sure I’ll see you down the road. Peace, Love and Fair Winds

Need To Know

Our 70-day Global Sea|mester Voyages offer the most comprehensive experience in terms of the geographical area covered and both academic and vocational classes and certifications earned. During the program, up to 12 academic credits are offered for the Seamanship, Student Leadership, Oceanography, and Marine Biology classes taught aboard. In addition, there are several vocational courses offered for those looking to further their professional development in the maritime industry. For more information on our classes, please visit our academics page.

None at all. All you need is a great attitude and a willingness to fully participate in every aspect of the experience.

Six professional staff members live aboard full-time. There will be the Skipper, the First and Second Mate and two Marine Biologists (who are typically scuba diving instructors) and a sixth staff member who could also be an EMT or someone with other special skills. Take a look through our team page for more information.

The weather in Southeast Asia and the Gulf of Thailand at the beginning of the trip should be fantastic with some cooler sailing conditions at night and as we begin heading south into Indonesia and Malaysia. It is likely that we will see varying weather conditions during our southern crossings.

When we are ashore or close at anchor there will be plenty of opportunities to communicate with friends and family at home. That said, while aboard we have guidelines as to when it is appropriate to use your personal communications devices. The environment we strive to create relies heavily on each individual remaining focused on the group and our experience. Being tied to the modern world of “instant communications” can, in certain circumstances, be a hindrance to the personal and group processes aboard.

Cell Phones: Check with your provider before you go, but so long as you have a sim card, your cell phone will likely work in most global locations.

Internet: While our vessels are not wifi equipped, another way to communicate is by email, text, Facetime or Skype using shore side internet. The internet is often free or available to purchase in most of the locations that we visit.

Both on the vessel and ashore, the answer is up to you. The vast majority of the meals during your trip are prepared and eaten aboard. For meals aboard, each person on the crew takes a turn as head chef to plan and cook the meals for an entire day with the help of another person acting as sous-chef. We all work to stay within a budget, with both students and staff responsible for stocking the vessels. We endeavor to accommodate everyone aboard while providing what any alumni will tell you, was a great dining adventure. During your free time ashore you will have the opportunity to eat more adventurously. With this voyage starting in Indonesia, students will get to sample some unbelievably delicious traditional Balinese meals! Prepare your palate as the food has every opportunity to test your spice and heat toleration.

Sea|mester students range in age from 18 through to about 22. Average age is right around 20, yet this can change from voyage to voyage. Give a call through to the office if you are interested in learning more about the student crew.

c. Other Booking Options – Air Miles & Self Booking

We cannot be responsible for coordinating flights booked in this way, so please ensure that you are booking the correct itinerary (dates/destination) before purchasing a ticket online or through a source other than our recommended travel partners. If you have any questions regarding the date or time of arrival for your voyage, please call us to confirm any proposed flight itinerary before you book it. Once booked, you will be required to enter, then maintain accurate flight details in the relevant section of the Student Portal.

Passports

Your passport’s expiration date is of utmost importance to the immigration officials in the countries we visit. Each government mandates a “minimum validity,” with many using a six-month rule, meaning that the visitor’s passport must remain valid for six (6) months AFTER the last day of travel in that country. A few nations have more lenient minimum validity rules, but since we typically visit multiple countries throughout the voyage, meeting the six-month standard is compulsory in most cases. If your passport expires sooner than six months after the final day of your program, we recommend that you talk to the passport office about their backlog and renewal timeframe. You may also contact our office to learn more about whether you would be able to travel on a passport that expires earlier than six months after your trip ends.

Visas

US Citizens: Those traveling on a US passport rarely need to apply for specific country visas in advance of the program. In certain circumstances, we are required to process a vessel cruising permit or visitation visa on your behalf before the trip. If this is the case, we’ll let you know in advance whether there are any steps that we need you to take.

Students traveling on non-U.S. passports: Aside from needing a valid US ESTA to transit through the United States (if applicable), students traveling on a Canadian or an EU passport rarely need to apply for any other specific country visas in advance of the program. Learn more about the ESTA requirements, and whether this applies to you here – https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/.

Citizens of Asian, African, and South American nations may need to apply for specific visas. Since we cannot apply for visas on your behalf, you must take the following steps as soon as you can.

  • Contact our office and request a definitive list of the countries we will visit on the voyage. Please do not rely on the sample itineraries listed on our website.
  • Verify visa requirements for your nationality by contacting the local embassy or consulate for these destination countries.
COVID-19 Vaccination Requirement

We do not currently require proof of vaccination in order to enroll.

Other Immunizations

We know that each individual has unique medical considerations and understand that families have varying opinions on immunizations as a whole. While we are not physicians and cannot provide official or specific medical advice, we recommend that you talk with your healthcare provider to discuss the trip and check that all standard immunizations and boosters are up to date.

The CDC’s (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) website at www.cdc.gov contains an excellent section that focuses on Travelers’ Health. This is a useful resource as you consider which precautions you might want to take. When completing your research, bear in mind that your voyage is almost 100% coastal. Many of the CDC’s recommendations are specific to agricultural or rural areas or regions within the country which we do not visit.

Sea|mester tuition includes the following:
  • Sea|mester academic instruction for the applicable courses offered during the voyage
  • University of South Florida (USF) academic credit for all academic classes offered during the program.
  • Full room and board
  • All group excursions, field trips and destination-focused educational experiences
  • Non-professional sailing instruction and certification costs
  • Non-professional scuba instruction and certification costs
Not included in the Sea|mester tuition:
  • Travel expenses from home to the program (flights, visas, ferry, taxi, baggage, taxes, etc.)
  • Required International SOS and MedAire membership & emergency evacuation insurance. (20-day voyages = $100 | 40-day voyages = $175 | 80 & 90-day voyages = $250) LEARN MORE >
  • Vaccinations (if required/selected)
  • PADI required course books and materials
  • Personal spending money
  • Travel & Tuition Protection insurance – LEARN MORE >

Though the fundamentals of our voyages do not change, specific logistics evolve over time and can be subject to change based on any number of factors, most of which relate directly to risk management planning.

For this reason, the map and voyage timeline portions of this page should give you a basic understanding of the places we’ll go and activities we’ll do, but you should expect your voyage to be unique. If you take a look through the Trip Logs for previous voyages you’ll see that they can differ significantly.

With that in mind, we encourage all students to “live in the moment” while on the program. Travel, even on organized trips, requires flexibility and a willingness to accept adversity and change. We hope you’ll take the bumps in stride, and enjoy the adventure!
