In the late seventies of the last century, Dick Bergsma the founder of Sea Trek, traveled as a backpacker island hopping through Indonesia. While traveling he learned that the ultimate way of exploring this enormous archipelago of 17,000 islands was aboard the wooden schooners called Phinisi still in abundant use carrying cargo between the islands.
In 1985 Dick was the first one ever to set sail to the islands east of Bali bringing a group of eager travelers aboard a Phinisi.

For nine years Dick plied back and forth between Holland and Indonesia before moving in 1994 with his family to Bali.
In 1999 a permanent collaboration was established with Marc Bergeron, a French national with expertise in cruising, and the name Anasia Cruises was added to the existing name of Sea Trek.

Over the years the team of Sea Trek – Anasia Cruises gathered numerous data and things worth knowing about the islands east of Bali, establishing a vast network of befriended contacts throughout the entire area.
Sea Trek's current two-masted motor-schooner, Katharina, offers an exquisite balance of traditional atmosphere and up to date facilities and services catering the western traveler looking for the off the beaten track experience of a lifetime on a level of true comfort and leisure.

Our present staff consists of Indonesian, Australian, French and Dutch nationals, each member being an expert in their own field of engagement
As a team we look forward to welcome you on board the Katharina and bring you to places you even did not dream of (still) existing, entering a world beyond the reach and awareness of the reporters of  CNN and Sky News.
