Komodo, Flores & Raja Ampat, Indonesia
Lamima is a 65-metre, two-mast phinisi boat operating in the Indonesian archipelago. Designed by esteemed yacht designer Marcelo Penna of Barcelona, it was built on Sulawesi island by master boat builders and fitted in Bangkok with state-of-the-art equipment. The result? It’s the world’s largest and finest wooden sailing yacht available for charter in the waters of the Indonesian archipelago, and also in Thailand’s Mu Koh Similan National Park and Myanmar’s Mergui Archipelago.
There are just 7 cabins on Lamima including 5 double cabins and 2 twin cabins. All are modern, stylish and opulently furnished in contemporary style, fused with elements of traditional Indonesian phinisi-design. It can carry up to 19 crew onboard to ensure a relaxed luxury yacht experience. These include a private chef, an expert dive instructor and two Balinese masseuses, who will offer a range of treatments and massages after a day of diving or trekking on remote islands.
Guests on Lamima will explore bays and lagoons are tucked away in the Indonesian archipelago on jet propelled vessels where others boats cannot go. You will visit active volcanoes, desolate sandy beaches and go trekking in search of the giant Komodo dragons. Guests will have full use of all the watersports equipment including jet skis, paddleboards, snorkelling and diving with your PADI instructor. You will discover a rich marine life including turtles, manta rays and even sharks.

Stay Lamima features just 7 spacious cabins. These include one master cabin with its own dressing room, four double cabins and two twin cabins. All have a warm design with an understated, contemporary Asian influence and come with comfortable seating, and ample storage for personal belongings. Luxurious bathrooms have teak-panelled walls and marble-top twin vanities with large mirrors. Rooms have custom lighting while portholes provide natural light.
ChildCare Families with children are welcome to stay aboard the Lamima yacht but there are no specific facilities available for children. There is no babysitting service available.
Dine The dining menu aboard the Lamima is created by a gourmet chef and an assistant who will be onboard to cater for your every whim. You can choose to dine in the air-conditioned dining room or al fresco on the main deck or may be, find your own deserted white sand beach. The broad concept here is to eat what you like and when you like (of course… within the constraints of what is available on board).
Relax Facilities aboard the Lamima include a saloon with a capacity for fourteen people, while on the upper deck is a sunbathing spot with sun loungers. There will be two Balinese masseuses on hand to provide spa treatments and massages in a private space set at the back of the boat. Also onboard is a PADI dive centre with watersports equipment including jet skis, water skis, wakeboards, paddle boards, canoes and diving and snorkelling gear.
Experience Diving in Indonesia is world-class and the Dive Master onboard Lamima will take you to some of the best spots to see an abundance of marine life. You are likely to see impressive coral, turtles, manta rays, sea snakes and even dolphins, sharks and whales. Out of the water options include trekking on remote islands, visiting villages, birdwatching and looking for Komodo dragons. Scheduled departures are available to explore Komodo National Park and Raja Ampat Archipelago.
Location Lamima sails through different destinations through Indonesia. From Flores to Komodo National Park or Raja Ampat's hidden lagoons and white-sandy beaches off Sorong. Please note that Lamima operates in seasons, depending on the weather.
Getting there All expeditions require a short domestic flight from Bali to some of the smaller outlying islands in the Indonesian Archipelago. For Komodo Island expeditions, fly from Bali to Labuan Bajo. For the Raja Ampat expeditions, fly from Bali to Sorong.
When to go Straddling the equator, Indonesia tends to have a fairly even climate year-round. Rather than four seasons, Indonesia has two – wet and dry – and there are no extremes of temperature between winter and summer. Given the different climates throughout the archipelago, the vessel is able to operate different expeditions at different times of year. Between either October or November (depending on weather) until May, Lamima operates expeditions to explore the magical waters of Raja Ampat, and from June to October, the expedition changes course for the mythical islands of Komodo and Flores.
