Samara II — exclusively yours. No shared guests, no fixed schedules. Just your family, a private Phinisi, and the untouched heart of Komodo.
A traditional Phinisi schooner with a modern interpretation. Stylish interiors designed to draw in natural light, creating a bright, relaxed ambience throughout. The open sundeck is perfect for sunbathing; the shaded foredeck invites quiet mornings with coffee in hand.
Each cabin is named for an Indonesian island — all air-conditioned, all designed for comfort at sea.
A front cabin bathed in natural light, designed for families travelling with children — generous, comfortable, and easy to settle into.
A twin front cabin named after the island that overlooks Komodo — ideal for a second family or for older children travelling with parents.
An aft cabin with the gentle rhythm of the water all around. A double bed, calm atmosphere, and quiet nights — perfect for parents who need to recharge.
Named for Indonesia's southernmost island — a cosy aft retreat with a queen bed and the gentle sound of the sea as your lullaby.
Samara II is built for families who want adventure without compromise — calm seas, attentive crew, and a pace that fits how your family actually travels.
"A journey where children feel free, and parents feel completely at ease."
