Description

Carved in the timeless style of a traditional Phinisi, Samambaia sails through the Indonesian archipelago with a spirit of elegance and adventure.

Blending hand-crafted beauty with modern comfort, she was designed for travelers who wish to explore remote seas while enjoying space, warmth, and personal attention.

Accommodating just 14 guests, Samambaia features seven welcoming cabins, all air-conditioned and tastefully finished in wood, each with an en-suite bathroom and soft, natural lighting that creates a relaxing atmosphere. The main deck master cabin opens directly to the ocean breeze, offering wide panoramic views of the passing islands and open sea.

Life on board flows naturally between discovery and rest. After a day of diving, guests can gather in the open-air dining area to share stories, or unwind on the sundeck where soft loungers invite both conversation and quiet moments under the stars. The crew pays attention to every detail, from freshly baked bread to warm smiles and the small gestures that make the experience feel effortless.

Diving operations are smooth and well organized, with two large tenders and an expert team of dive guides. Each itinerary follows Indonesia’s most extraordinary routes: the coral gardens of Raja Ampat, the dramatic reefs of Alor, the manta-filled channels of Komodo, and the rich volcanic slopes of the Banda Sea. Every destination reveals a different side of Indonesia’s underwater world, from swirling schools of fish to graceful pelagic encounters.

Combining refined comfort, genuine hospitality, and a deep connection to the ocean, Samambaia offers an experience that feels personal, authentic, and unforgettable.
