NATARAJA

Nataraja — 32m Phinisi, Indonesian archipelago Built in the Phinisi tradition that has carried Indonesian sailors across these waters for generations, Nataraja pairs that heritage of timber and craftsmanship with the comfort expectations of contemporary charter. A refit completed in 2024 keeps her current where it matters. At 32 metres, she accommodates six guests across three cabins — an owner's cabin and two further cabins, positioned forward, midship and aft. Detailed bed configuration is available on request. Six guests aboard a yacht of this length means space is never rationed: a family or a single group of friends takes the whole vessel, with no compromise on where to sit, eat or sleep. Life aboard gravitates to the open air. The foredeck is set up for dining under the sky, and the bar handles cocktails and a considered wine list — the natural place to end a day of diving or island-hopping, with nothing but horizon in every direction. She operates from Labuan Bajo in Komodo and from Sorong in Raja Ampat, and her cruising range covers the archipelago's most rewarding waters: Komodo, Sumba, Sumbawa, Alor, Sulawesi, Halmahera, Banda, Ambon and Raja Ampat. This is remote-water cruising — reefs, uninhabited beaches, dive sites reached before anyone else arrives — and Nataraja is built and crewed for exactly that kind of itinerary. The crew know these islands, the tides and the seasons, and they plan around them rather than against them. That local knowledge is what separates a genuine expedition through eastern Indonesia from a sightseeing loop.
