The Vessel

Si Datu Bua is defined by restraint, warmth, and craftsmanship. Her appeal comes not from excess, but from the way every space feels considered and quietly refined. She carries the soul of a traditional Indonesian phinisi, yet her onboard atmosphere is polished enough to meet the expectations of guests seeking a more elevated private charter experience.

She is especially compelling for those who want the yacht to feel personal rather than purely transactional. With only three cabins and a high level of crew support, the experience becomes naturally more attentive, more private, and more fluid. Everything aboard Si Datu Bua encourages a gentler rhythm of travel, where service remains discreet and the journey never feels rushed.

Spaces & Layout

Si Datu Bua’s three-cabin layout gives her one of the more intimate onboard environments in Indonesian chartering. This smaller guest count allows the yacht to feel calm and spacious throughout the voyage, making her especially effective for families, couples traveling together, or small private groups who value privacy above all else. The two master suites and additional double cabin are generously proportioned, with king-size beds and ensuite facilities that reinforce the yacht’s more residential character.

Her shared spaces are equally well judged. Expansive teak decks offer shaded dining, lounge seating, and foredeck areas that invite long hours outside, whether guests are underway or anchored in quiet waters. Inside, the elegant lounge and TV salon provide a more sheltered retreat without losing the yacht’s warm and composed atmosphere. Across the vessel, the flow remains easy, intimate, and beautifully suited to extended cruising.
