Prana by Atzaró

A phinisi, built the old way

Prana was built on the beach at Bira, in South Sulawesi, by Konjo shipwrights who still shape ironwood and teak by hand and by eye. She was launched in 2018 and sails East Indonesia all year, following the calm seasons.

She is chartered whole: nine suites over four decks, a crew who know these waters, and an itinerary shaped around you.

Life aboard

Nothing to do but be here

01

Dining

Breakfast on deck, lunch at anchor, dinner on a beach with nobody else on it. The chef cooks with what the islands and the boats bring in.

02

The spa

A massage for every guest is included. The Atelier de Beauté treats with Anne Sémonin, on deck or in the cabin.

03

Yoga at sunrise

The top deck becomes a studio at first light, with the islands still in shadow and the sea flat.

04

Beach dinners

Lanterns and a long table on the sand, with the crew coming ashore by tender.

05

The crew

Captain, mates, engineers, chef, stewards, deckhands, masseuses, a dive instructor and a cruise director, most of them from these islands.
