The ship

About Sanctuary

Sanctuary came out of a Bulukumba yard in 2023 as a 48-metre (157 ft) ironwood phinisi. Nine ensuite cabins, eighteen guests, eighteen crew. Private charter only. She was built for a large family or a group of friends who still want a door that closes, not a cabin sold by the week.

The presidential suite sits on the upper deck, about 58 square metres (624 sq ft), with a king bed and a private terrace of about 40 square metres (431 sq ft) and a jacuzzi. Two executive suites of about 28 square metres (301 sq ft) share that deck, each with their own terrace. Six juniors live below: four kings at 20 to 21 square metres (215 to 226 sq ft) and two queens at 19 square metres (205 sq ft) that can convert to twins. Fourteen is the week that still feels like a house. Eighteen is the published maximum.

She works Komodo from May to October, Raja Ampat when the wind turns, and Spice Island weeks on selected crossings. A spa room, gym kit, a sundeck jacuzzi, two 7-metre RIBs, dive gear, kayaks and boards live onboard. Indoor dining and a salon take the heat of the day. Private charter is the only booking.
