Samara II
The voyage
Four cabins, twenty three metres, running on solar. Komodo and Raja Ampat.
Samara II runs on solar, which is the only detail that matters most on the mornings when nothing is running at all. A generator on a small boat is audible everywhere, and losing it changes what anchoring somewhere remote actually sounds like. Twenty three metres, four cabins, eight guests, decks proportioned for a group that size rather than scaled down from a larger plan. Her water covers Komodo and Raja Ampat, so the reef diving and the long crossings are both available without a boat that needs a crew of twenty to move. Interiors are modern and unfussy. The rhythm is slow by design: you wake where you anchored, the water is the same temperature it was at sunset, and the day gets decided over breakfast rather than before you boarded.

Cabins and facilities
Spaces
A 23 metre phinisi in ironwood and teak, built in 2017 for one family or one close group. Four cabins, six crew, and solar batteries so the generator can sleep at night. Here is how she is arranged.
The Cabins
Four cabins, ten guests
Four air conditioned cabins on the lower deck, each named for an island. Bali and Flores take a double bed and a bunk for three. Sulawesi and Rote take a double for two. Small by design, because nobody came here to stay inside.
Outdoor Decks
Nothing between you and the horizon
Two levels of open air. A sun deck up top for the long view, a shaded foredeck for the long lunch, and seating on the main deck that fills first every afternoon. Pick a level. Change your mind later.
Indoor Lounge & Open Kitchen
Where the cooking happens in view
A bright lounge built around an open kitchen, so the meal starts before it reaches the table. Light from every side, the islands sliding past the windows. Starlink reaches the boat, so the office can reach you. Whether you answer is another matter.
Dining on Board
From the galley
Three meals a day plus an afternoon coffee break, cooked in the open kitchen and adjusted for whoever cannot eat what. Lunch in the shade on the foredeck. Dinner wherever the evening lands.
Quiet Nights
The generator sleeps too
Solar panels charge batteries through the day and power the boat through the night, so the machinery goes quiet at dusk. What you hear after dark is water on the hull and not much else.
Snorkelling & Water Toys
Out, and back
Snorkelling gear and paddleboards on board, a 6.2 metre tender to get you to the reef, and a local guide who knows where the mantas are this week. A photographer comes too, so nobody has to swim with a phone.
Beachside Escapes
Dinner, moved ashore
One evening, on stays of three nights or more, dinner leaves the boat. The crew sets a table on the sand, and the only other guests are the ones you brought. No closing time. Nobody minds the sand.
