About Nataraja

Nataraja is a 32-metre (105 ft) ironwood and teak phinisi, drawn by Yann Martinie, launched in 2015 and refitted in 2024. Three ensuite cabins. The 2026 charter sheet is written for six adults and two children or teenagers. Eleven crew, including a cruise director, run the house. There is no cabin sold by the week.

The aft master opens onto the swim platform: a 180 by 200 double and two singles. The front cabin is a 180 by 200 double plus a single that folds to a sofa. Midships is a 160 by 200 double. All three have air-conditioning, ensuite and hot water. Meals sit at the open kitchen on the main deck, or forward under a canopy. The aft lounge takes the evening. A bar, an espresso machine and a projector live onboard.

May to September she works Komodo from Labuan Bajo, three nights minimum. November to April she sits in Raja Ampat from Sorong, five nights for the north and central circuit. October is the Banda Sea. Certified diving, snorkel kit, kayaks, a paddleboard and park fees sit in the night rate. Alcohol, dive insurance and tips sit outside. Christmas and New Year, 18 December to 4 January, are a 10 percent surcharge. Tell us the window. We work directly with the boat for the best price guarantee.
