Samara II is a 23-metre (75 ft) ironwood and teak phinisi, launched in 2017. Beam 4.5
m. She is the smaller of the two Samara boats, built for Komodo from Labuan Bajo, not
for Raja Ampat crossings. Ten guests is the maximum if both Bali and Flores cabins
take a third berth. Eight is the more generous number.
Four cabins sit on the lower deck. Bali and Flores each hold a double and a bunk.
Sulawesi and Rote are doubles. Two bathrooms are shared, with hot water. That is the
layout. She is not sold as ensuite. Crew of six. Solar charges the batteries by day.
The generator is shut down at night.
Sun deck, shaded foredeck, indoor lounge and dining, a bar on the aft teak. Paddleboards
and snorkel kit. Starlink. One beach dinner on a stay of three nights or more. Private
charter only, from $4,500/night. Cabins are not sold one at a time. Open trips run on
Samara I, not on this hull.

Questions
Samara II FAQ
Can I book a cabin instead of the whole ship?
No. Samara II is private charter only. Open trips and single cabins run on
Samara I. If a cabin on a published Komodo sailing is what you want, we will
send those boats instead.
How many guests can sleep on Samara II?
Ten across four cabins if Bali and Flores take a third berth. Eight is the more
generous number if those two stay as doubles.
Are the cabins ensuite?
No. Four cabins share two bathrooms. If every cabin must have its own bathroom,
look at Jinggo Janggo, Splendour or Nataraja instead.
Is she set up for diving?
No. She is a snorkel boat: paddleboards, snorkel kit, a local guide. If the
group wants tanks and a compressor, look at Teman.
Who is Samara II for?
Families and friends who want the whole ship in Komodo without a $12,000 night,
and who can live with shared bathrooms. She is a poor match for divers, for
Raja Ampat, or for anyone who needs ensuite cabins. Those groups are not how we
sell her.
