About Luxury Crewed Sailing Yacht SI DATU BUA
SI DATU BUA is a hand-crafted phinisi that bridges centuries of Indonesian maritime tradition with contemporary yacht comfort. Built in 2012, this 40-metre sailing vessel combines teakwood interiors with modern systems, creating an intimate setting for exploring the archipelago's most remote anchorages. Three generous double cabins accommodate up to six guests, each appointed with upscale furnishings and natural ventilation that captures the ocean breeze.
The yacht's design prioritises outdoor living across multiple decks. An expansive upper deck provides 360-degree views and generous seating, whilst the foredeck transforms into an alfresco dining venue where you can savour Indonesian cuisine at sunset. Below, teakwood-lined cabins and social spaces maintain the vessel's authentic character without sacrificing modern convenience or insulation from the elements.

Suggested Itinerary
A seven-day itinerary from Labuan Bajo typically unfolds across the Komodo archipelago, beginning with morning dives at Tatawa's kaleidoscopic reefs before progressing through South Rinca's underwater canyons. Mid-week crossings bring you to remote anchorages at Padar and Gili Laba, where afternoon kayaking reveals untouched coastlines and endemic wildlife. Later days venture northward into the Flores Sea or eastward towards the reefs of Ambon, depending on conditions and your interests, with sunset dining and starlit swims punctuating each passage.
