Onboard Experience
Sanya accommodates up to four guests across two beautifully designed cabins. The 25-square-metre master suite sits aft on the main deck, with wraparound windows, air-conditioning and an ensuite bathroom. French doors open onto a private terrace furnished with daybeds, a minibar, dining table and bathing platform, creating a serene retreat connected directly to the sea.
Natural wood, soft textiles and neutral tones give the master suite an airy, understated atmosphere. A sofa converts into a single bed for a child, offering flexibility for young families travelling together.
The lower deck houses a second cabin with a convertible layout – available as a king-size double or twin beds – complete with ensuite bathroom and full air-conditioning. Calm, simple and thoughtfully arranged, it provides comfortable accommodation for children, friends or additional staff.
Cabin Overview
Onboard Experience
Life onboard flows between generous outdoor decks and relaxed indoor spaces. The foredeck hosts an alfresco dining table and sunbeds for breezy afternoons under sail, while the main deck lounge offers a comfortable setting for gathering over drinks prepared by Sanya’s dedicated bartender, from fresh juices to cocktails and gourmet coffee.
The upper deck features sun loungers with panoramic views, transforming easily into an open-air cinema, yoga platform or a private dining space beneath Indonesia’s night skies. Even in motion, Sanya maintains a sense of calm and intimacy, inviting slow, scenic hours between islands.
Adventure and relaxation sit side by side: the yacht is equipped with nitrox for divers, full snorkelling and dive gear, kayaks, paddleboards and yoga mats. Whether exploring coral gardens, paddling through quiet lagoons or simply unwinding on the terrace, days unfold gently, shaped by Indonesia’s sea, light and rhythm.

Explore Indonesia
Situated off the coast of West Papua, Raja Ampat is a chain of 1,500 jungle-clad islands with limestone cliffs, white sand beaches and luminous turquoise seas. Known as one of the most biodiverse marine regions on earth, its reefs host an extraordinary variety of coral and fish.
Days unfold between quiet bays, sweeping coral gardens and karst peaks that offer panoramic views across the archipelago. Even above the waterline, the landscapes feel wild, sculptural and untouched, with hidden coves and lagoons only accessible by tender.
Private yacht routes here often extend into neighbouring regions such as Maluku, Triton Bay and Cenderawasih, revealing remote anchorages, serene beaches and moments of deep stillness in one of Indonesia’s most remarkable frontiers.
Situated east of Bali and Sumbawa, Komodo National Park is a rugged chain of islands shaped by volcanic ridges, pink-sand beaches and clear, dramatic seas. Home to the famed Komodo dragon, this UNESCO-listed region offers landscapes that feel raw, ancient and untamed.
Above water, rolling hills, savannah grasslands and quiet inlets create a shifting palette of ochres and greens. Beneath the surface, nutrient-rich currents support manta rays, coral gardens and thriving marine life, making Komodo one of Indonesia’s most varied cruising grounds.
Private yacht journeys here unfold between secluded bays, sunset ridges and remote dive sites, often combining nearby regions such as Sumbawa or Flores. Anchorages are peaceful, the scenery cinematic, and the sense of remoteness unmistakable.
The Spice Islands, known historically as the Moluccas, sit at the crossroads of ancient trade routes and early maritime exploration. Once the world’s only source of nutmeg and cloves, these islands retain a rich cultural legacy shaped by sultans, traders and centuries of seafaring.
The landscapes are gentle and green, with quiet villages, preserved forts and volcanic silhouettes rising over sheltered bays. Coral reefs ring many of the smaller isles, offering warm, clear waters that feel far from the bustle of modern Indonesia.
Yacht itineraries through Maluku often include Banda, Kei or Seram, unfolding between cinnamon-coloured coastlines, historic anchorages and reefs alive with colour. It is a region where history, and natural beauty meet in a way that feels timeless.
West Papua stretches along the far eastern edge of Indonesia, a land of immense cultural and ecological diversity. Its coastline weaves through jungle-clad peninsulas, river deltas and remote island chains, offering a sense of scale and wildness found in few other places.
Inland, dense forests shelter ancient traditions, distinctive art forms and communities whose lives remain closely tied to their environment. Along the coast, limestone cliffs, mangroves and hidden bays create a dramatic setting for exploration by sea.
Private yacht journeys often extend through Cenderawasih Bay, Triton Bay or the remote Bird’s Head Peninsula, revealing whale sharks, karst islands and quiet waters ideal for long, unbroken days on the ocean. West Papua remains one of Indonesia’s most stirring and untouched frontiers.
