About Us
Our story begins in 2019, when founder Sam Jessop took his first sailing lesson, purchased a 52-foot catamaran, and set off on a bold voyage from Tasmania to Indonesia. It was a journey marked by both challenges and transformation — one that sparked a vision. Inspired by the freedom and depth of life at sea, Sam returned with a simple but powerful question: What if this experience could be shared — reimagined — at a new level of beauty, flexibility, and sustainability?
At the heart of White Lotus Charters is a commitment to intimacy over scale: smaller group sizes, bespoke itineraries, and immersive experiences inspired by local culture and natural wonder. Every itinerary is curated with life-cycle impact in mind, ensuring that exploration goes hand-in-hand with preservation.
This is not just a charter company — it’s a new chapter in luxury sea travel.
Refined. Responsible. Remarkable.
Adventure Yachts is built on four key values, shared by our founders, wider team, and strategic partners. They are not negotiable or optional and form the basis of everything we do.
We embrace curiosity, creativity, and challenging the status quo. Just as our yachts offer freedom and a new perspective back to the shore, we encourage everyone to show up as their full selves to explore uncharted waters and fuel innovation and growth. By fostering a culture where freedom, safety and responsibility happily coexist, we find joy in the journey together.
We are deeply connected to the ocean, and we explore it responsibly. We understand our impact and therefore seek ways to reduce our footprint, while financing actions that protect the natural world and communities who depend on it. We foster an appreciation and awe for the beauty of our oceans, inspiring our team and guests to navigate them with purpose and care.
Every detail receives our full focus. We believe that exceptional quality is built on craftsmanship, precision and pride in engineering to inspire confidence and deliver enduring value. Our crew honour this same dedication to excellence to ensure a thoughtful and heartfelt hospitality ethos onboard.
The ocean knows no boundaries, so we push ours, both in yacht craft and in the adventures we make possible. Investing in the future of ocean adventure experiences means we embrace forward-thinking design. We balance courage with a commitment to safety, ensuring that every bold step forward is matched by uncompromising preparation and seafaring expertise.
