Welcome aboard

A hand-built phinisi that follows the seasons across East Indonesia

Prana is fifty-five metres of ironwood and teak, built on the beach at Bira and chartered whole: nine suites, four decks and a crew who know these waters by heart.

She spends each season where the sea is calmest and the reefs clearest. Wherever you join her, the island, the hour and the anchorage are yours.

Ironwood, teak and the eye of the shipwright

Diving with Prana

Below the surface

East Indonesia holds more species of coral and reef fish than anywhere else on earth. A dive instructor sails with you, the tenders are fitted for diving, and the day is planned around the tides.
