JAKARTA -- After a week at sea, Leyla, a luxury wooden yacht that cruises around the remote islands and reefs of eastern Indonesia, has passed a handful of fishing villages -- but its passengers have not come into contact with another living soul.
For Leyla's owner, Raul Boscarino, that means his private charter vessel, licensed for up to 10 passengers, offers a low-risk option for cruising in the era of COVID-19, at a time when the mainstream cruise industry has almost collapsed.
