The Lighthouse Consultancy

The Lighthouse Consultancy, headed by the super personable Andy Shorten, offers a very highly recommended consultancy and shore support service. All those that use their services comment on their “resourcefulness and dedication day in day out”. Having been based in Indonesia for 16 years the experience and knowledge they have of the multiple cruising grounds located in this vast area is priceless; “the team’s understanding of the territory, the history, its cultures and stunning dive sites are second to none.”

Lighthouse can support the following key requirements, and so much more, throughout Indonesia:

• Port Clearance including Immigration, Customs, & Cruising Permits 
• Bunkering Services
• Provisioning – managed by an International team, who have valid experience & know only too well the discerning needs of those on board.
• On board Guides, local and International

Kerry, along with her provisions team receive high praise from both chef and interior crew for their ability to help, whatever the location or scenario and are “always so positive and helpful”. “The quality of provisions and flowers that were sourced by the Lighthouse team were truly exemplary!”

The Guides have unrivalled knowledge of Indonesia and are a huge asset in itinerary planning. Their assistance in everything, from knowing the best anchorages and dive sites, to being able to assist with shore-side guest movements, or simply amazing explorations of the unique cruising grounds, is a vast resource…and engaging their support is strongly recommended to make the most of your time in this region.

Lighthouse can also happily arrange helicopter charter services, giving more flexibility for guests to reach the more remote places.  It is great to know such service are available to help cope with those “last minute requests”.

The highest of accolades are given to The Lighthouse Consultancy Team. The best testimonials are repeat customers and as one said “during our time, on both trips, covering Bali to Komodo, Banda Sea, Ambon and Raja Ampat, we had Andy available to assist with regulations, transfer, advice, provisions and all manner of small problems at any hour and always with a solution and a smile”

This consultancy has been highly recommended as a company with a strong ‘can do’ work ethic - “I could not recommend the Lighthouse Consultancy enough for any yacht venturing through the archipelago. They make an impossibly challenging and remote destination as stress free as possible.”
