first full sail "a sign of good luck"
As a beautiful light breeze blew in from the port bow the excitement onboard was contagious. "It's time" we shouted as everyone dropped everything they were doing to be involved in the first full sail. Up came the sails one by one and as they took form in the wind the motors were turned off. At this very moment a pod of dolphins appeared from nowhere and begin to play in the bow wake. In yachting mythology this is a sign of good luck and a blessing for WAOW and all the passenger that will sail with her for many years to come.

inaugural cruise testimonials
Here are a few comments from some of the lucky passengers aboard the inaugural cruise.
 First of all a beautiful boat, impressive, majestic. Dive guides so gracious, smiling and competent. Jerome, with whom I had the chance to dive, is a great professional, multilingual, knows his job on the tip of his fins. Kay supervises and trains all the staff, all the little details are considered, outstanding service and very professional. In short, both form the "Winning Team". Hats off! Beautiful and appropriately priced.
Conclusion: The WAOW is without any doubt the most beautiful dive boat on which I had the chance to sail. It has everything to become a world standard live-aboard. Huge congratulations to all for giving life to this beautiful baby and long life to WAOW! S.G.
 ... Thanks for this exceptional moment spent with you on board our WAOW. This beautiful boat that brought us safely to these magical places in Indonesia remains in my mind "full sail". Thank you to two lucky owners who, through the realization of their common dream, allowed me to participate in this fabulous expedition. All the best in the continuation of this great adventure. S.C.
Thank you! Congratulations to all the crew who were always attentive, very safety conscious and always smiling. Perfect service, good briefings, great guides. All the best for the future! We will hear of WAOW worldwide. G. B.
This first cruise was successful. Congratulations!
These 11 days went by way too quickly. J.-C. W.
 The maiden cruise surprised with the accomplishment reached by WAOW and the great service already on board. Congratulations. Very high level, far above all our past experiences. It was really a great experience to participate in the first cruise with this exceptional and experienced crew. Our best wishes for the future and I will be delighted to return on this magnificent WAOW. D.B.
Super highly motivated team with great determination and good attitude, working in perfect discretion. Bravo for all you've done already, continue in this right direction and good luck to the WAOW.
