JAKARE

Jakaré is a genuine wooden Phinisi — the traditional Indonesian sailing schooner — brought up to a standard of comfort and safety that today's charter guests expect, without losing anything of the craft's original character. Timber hull, timber decks, and the unhurried rhythm that comes with sailing a rig built on centuries of local know-how. Her cruising ground is the Coral Triangle, the richest concentration of marine life on the planet. This is not a stretch of coastline you pass through on the way to somewhere else; it is the destination itself, and Jakaré is built to spend real time in it — remote anchorages, reef systems that see very few visitors, island landfalls reached under sail. Accommodation is arranged across five cabins for up to twelve guests, one of them fitted with a double bed. Detailed bed configuration is available on request, so the layout can be matched to the composition of your group before departure. Diving sits at the centre of life on board. Itineraries are built around the water, day after day, with the flexibility to follow conditions rather than a fixed schedule. Beyond the dives, the programme opens up: snorkelling over the shallows, trekking ashore, kayaking and stand-up paddle through the mangroves and bays, yoga and simple decompression time on deck between sites. Jakaré is offered on full charter for private groups, or by individual cabin booking for those travelling in smaller numbers — an unusual flexibility, and a practical one. Cruises are designed à la carte, shaped around what you actually want to do with your days at sea.
