ADVENTURE YACHT

Sleek, slim and stylish, Katharina is a 40-metre traditional phinisi yacht that offers bespoke charters around the Indonesian archipelago. Originally built in Sulawesi in 1995, she was destined to be a commercial cargo ship until the owners spotted her potential as a luxury cruising yacht. In 2014 she was refitted by master Indonesian craftsmen to reflect her phinisi heritage and updated with state-of-the-art technology. With six spacious cabins, stunning decor, all the mod cons you could ask for, and plenty of indoor and outdoor areas for relaxing and socialising, Katharina offers five-star comfort at sea.

Onboard

Decked out in dark teak wood and clean white lines, Katharina’s inviting interiors include a large air-conditioned lounge with ample cushioned seating and a TV, DVD player, and music centre. There is also a fully stocked bar for sundowner drinks and wooden dining tables where guests can indulge in gourmet creations prepared by the ship’s professional chef.

Al fresco areas include two gorgeous sundecks; one on the top deck with beanbags and cushions, and another on the foredeck with a huge dining table that can be covered or left open for meals under the stars. Guests also have the option to sleep outside on the decks with a selection of light sleeping bags and mattresses.

Bespoke Cruises

Katharina sails across the Indonesian archipelago in line with the seasons, keeping ahead of the rains to provide optimal cruising conditions. From April to September she plies the waters of Bali, Flores and the Lesser Sundas for amazing underwater adventures, incredible natural beauty and unique cultural experiences. In October she heads east to the remote Spice Islands in Maluku, then on to Raja Ampat and Sulawesi to discover pristine jungle-clad islands and some of the world’s best dive sites.

Cabins

Designed with families and groups in mind, Katharina’s six stately cabins are located below deck and offer a range of sleeping configurations. Two cabins have plush double beds, two have double beds and single bunks above that are perfect for children, and two cabins have twin bunks (one above the other). Each cabin also offers windows that allow natural light in, individually controlled air-conditioning, and private ensuite bathrooms with showers.
