Built in 2006 by master shipbuilders from Sulawesi, Samata is a 42-metre luxury yacht that combines traditional Phinisi design with modern European touches and state-of-the-art amenities. Throughout the three decks, spacious interiors and five luxurious cabins you will find rich hardwood and white leather furnishings, contemporary conveniences like cutting edge sound systems and a fully stocked wine cellar, as well as plenty of vantage points to soak up the incredible scenery of Indonesia’s exotic islands and seascapes.

Onboard

Samata offers guests plenty of opportunities for outdoor living with three sun-dappled wooden decks including a dive deck, the main deck with an al fresco dining area for leisurely lunches and meals under the stars, and an upper deck with sun loungers and side tables for soaking up the sun and sea gazing. Inside there is a sleek dining room with white leather booth seating and a polished wooden bar, as well as a living room outfitted with supple leather sofas, a reading library, board games, a flat-screen TV with on-demand movies, and large windows that provide natural light.

Bespoke Cruises

Explore remote corners of the Indonesian archipelago on Samata’s private charter voyages customised to suit your preferences. Divers will definitely want to experience Raja Ampat, a breathtaking region with over 1,500 jungle-cloaked islands, most of which are untouched. This is also where you will find the most diverse marine life on the planet including sharks, manta rays, pygmy seahorses and over 540 types of hard and soft corals. Nature lovers can embark on a journey to Komodo National Park to climb volcanoes, trek to hidden waterfalls and see the giant Komodo dragons in their natural habitats. For history buffs the Banda Islands are sure to delight with their Dutch colonial architecture, centuries-old forts and rich legacy of being at the centre of the spice trade.
