Our Evaluation Process: From Audit to Recommendation

1. Initial Vetting & Due Diligence: We begin by identifying potential partners who demonstrate a clear commitment to luxury and safety. This involves reviewing their official registrations, licenses (e.g., SIUP-PARIWISATA from Kementerian Pariwisata), and reputation.
2. Site Visits & Unannounced Inspections: Our operations and quality control teams conduct regular, often unannounced, visits to vessels and facilities. These comprehensive inspections cover all aspects of our 7 Pillars, including a detailed checklist for cleanliness, maintenance, safety equipment, and crew professionalism.
3. Partner Audit Process: For each potential partner, we conduct a thorough audit. This includes:
   • Documentary Review: Verification of all legal, insurance, and certification documents.
   • Operational Assessment: Evaluation of their standard operating procedures, emergency protocols, and guest service standards.
   • Interview Process: Engaging with management, captains, and crew to assess their expertise, training, and commitment to our values.
4. Mystery Shopper Program: Periodically, we engage independent evaluators to experience our partners’ services as regular guests. This provides an unbiased, real-world assessment of the guest experience.
5. Scoring & Benchmarking: Each partner is scored against our detailed rubric for the 7 Pillars. Only those achieving a consistently high score, significantly above the industry average, are considered for inclusion in our network.
6. Continuous Monitoring & Feedback Loop: Our evaluation doesn’t end with initial approval. We maintain an ongoing monitoring program, incorporating real-time guest feedback, regular performance reviews, and continuous site visits. Any decline in standards triggers a re-evaluation process.
7. Transparency & Editorial Standards: All our findings and recommendations are presented in accordance with our strict Editorial Standards, ensuring honesty and impartiality.
