Most phinisi yachts in Indonesia are built for groups. Sanya was built for two.
She is 36 metres long, with a deep navy hull and the classic lines of the phinisi yacht, shaped in South Sulawesi by builders working in the traditional way. Everything aboard turns towards a single suite. It sits at the stern of the main deck, behind wraparound windows, so the islands move past the bed. French doors open onto a private terrace with daybeds and a small dining table, and below it a bathing platform where the sea is a single step away.
The rest of the yacht is given to open air. The upper deck becomes whatever the evening needs: a place for yoga at sunrise, a table for dinner beneath the stars, or a cinema under the sky. A bartender keeps fresh juices, coffee and cocktails coming through the day, and the chef plans menus with the guests before they arrive.
For honeymoons, Sanya is a natural fit. She also suits small families. The sofa in the suite becomes a bed for a young child, and a second cabin below deck takes two more guests, so a family of four can travel together without losing the sense of having a yacht to themselves.
She follows the seasons, sailing Komodo from May to October and Raja Ampat from November to April. On the crossings between, she reaches the Spice Islands, the Alor archipelago and West Papua, waters that suit a small, unhurried yacht well.
A whole crew, a whole deck and a whole sea, for very few.
The Ocean View Master Cabin
Located on the main deck aft, Sanya’s 25m² master cabin is a private sanctuary. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with natural light, framing panoramic views of Indonesia’s island landscapes. The king-size bed is dressed in sumptuous linens, ensuring restorative nights at sea.
Designed with families in mind, the suite also features an additional child’s bed, making it ideal for parents who wish to keep little ones close without compromising on comfort. With a plush sofa, spacious wardrobe, sleek work desk, and a beautifully appointed ensuite bathroom, every detail of this master cabin reflects thoughtful design and quiet luxury.
There is a secondary cabin below deck that can accommodate additional guests, so small families can also charter Sanya in total comfort.
Life Onboard
Beyond the master cabin, Sanya offers refined living spaces where families and friends can gather. Her interiors are fully air-conditioned, combining understated luxury with functionality. Whether dining al fresco on deck, enjoying sunset cocktails, or simply soaking in the ever-changing seascapes of Komodo or Raja Ampat, life on board Sanya flows with ease and elegance.
A Journey Made for Discovery
Chartering Sanya is not only about the yacht itself, but about where she can take you. Cruise through the coral-rich waters of Raja Ampat, witness the dragons of Komodo National Park, or escape to the serenity of the Spice Islands. With her perfect balance of comfort and performance, Sanya is a gorgeous gateway to Indonesia’s most spectacular destinations.
