About the Rally.

Wonderful Sail 2 Indonesia Rally is a Destination Rally ending at clearance in Tual, Kai Islands, Indonesia.

During the months leading up to arrival in Indonesia, registered participants will be provided, via the Wonderful Sail 2 Indonesia Rally WebApp, a wide range of information regarding preparations of your vessel, crew, and arrangements for your forthcoming blue water voyage to Indonesia. Silver & Platinum participants will also be invited to participate in Webinars and Q & A sessions.

For those who are first time offshore cruisers we highly recommend the C&OC Intl. Cruising Preparation Masterclass. More information will available at Registration.

The Wonderful Sail 2 Indonesia Rally WebApp is full of information necessary for cruising Indonesia as well as for the smooth running of the event and is updated as needed. Some of the info may be familiar to some of the more experienced skippers, but many of the first timer’s may not have. We ask all participants to review this information with care.

The rally is open to all vessels, power or sail, monohull or multihull from 9m to 25m departing from the Southwest Pacific, Australia or PNG.

 All vessels participating in the rally are required to meet the safety protocols noted in the “Terms and Conditions” Rally terms and conditions can be viewed at: www.sail2indonesia.com/rally-terms-conditions

Departure Locations:

Cruise the Queensland Coast and clear from Thursday Island (TI) in the Torres Strait.

Many insurance companies are stipulating that cruising yachts are to be below 26° degrees south during the Queensland cyclone season (November 1st to the April 30^th)

Assuming a departure date of May 1st (being the official end of cyclone season) from say Bundaberg with the view to arrive at the Rally Departure point being Thursday Island (TI) in the Torres Strait you will cover just over 1000 nm.

Clear out from any SW Pacific port and sail straight to your choice of entry point in Indonesia

For those who are not traveling into Indonesia from Australia can clear out from any SW Pacific port such as Noumea, New Caledonia or Luganville, Vanuatu and head straight to your entry port in Indonesia or maybe even visit Papua New Guinea on the way and Depart from the Royal Papua Yacht Club in Port Moresby.

Departure Date:

Silver and Platinum participant designated organised clearance dates into Indonesia are 15-21 July in Tual, Kai Islands. A 2026  Wonderful Sail 2 Indonesia Introduction PDF will be emailed to all those that have completed an Expression of Interest at the end of November when Registrations will open for 2026.

It is skipper’s responsibility to plan their passage to arrive at their port of entry into Indonesia within the clearance time frame.

 Arrival Port

The arrival port into Indonesia for 2026 is at Tual in the Kai Islands. Once inward clearance has been completed Indonesia is yours to cruise.

PRELIMINARY 2026 SAIL TO INDONESIA SCHEDULE OF EVENTS THROUGH INDONESIA

IMPORTANT – INFORMATION FOR AUSTRALIAN VESSELS ENTERING THE RALLY 

In order to cruise offshore and visit Indonesia or any other country for that matter your vessel must be AUSTRALIAN FEDERAL REGISTERED.

Australian Registration is different to your state registration.

If your vessel is not Australian registered, Australian Border Force will not grant you a clearance to depart Australia. Without this clearance your vessel will not be permitted to enter a foreign country.

The process of getting your vessel registered on the Australian register of ships can take several weeks to complete, so we suggest that if your vessel is not yet Australian registered that you begin the process immediately.

For more info about Australian Registration for your vessel and how to apply please see the attached copy of the info provided on the AMSA website or visit:

www.amsa.gov.au/vessels/shipping-registration/australian-general-register
