The ship

About Sanya

Sanya left a Bira yard in 2025 as a 36-metre (118 ft) boutique phinisi, drawn by Yann Martinie de Maisonneuve and built for private weeks, not cabin-charter crowds. The hull is navy. The living is small on purpose. Two ensuite cabins, eleven crew, and decks that stay quiet when only a couple or a young family are aboard.

Five guests is the published maximum. The 25-square-metre (269 sq ft) master sits aft on the main deck, with wraparound windows, a king bed, and French doors onto a private terrace with daybeds and a table. A sofa in the suite can take a child. The second cabin is on the lower deck and can be made as a king or twins, so a nanny, older children or a second couple have their own ensuite without sharing the master.

Days sit outside. The foredeck holds dining and sunbeds. The upper deck takes sunrise stretching or a film after dark. A dive instructor, nitrox, kayaks and boards live onboard if you want them. Sanya is for guests who want a small private house on the water, not 14 people on a 60-metre ship.

Questions

Sanya FAQ

What does boutique mean on Sanya?

Two cabins, five guests, eleven crew. She is a small private house, not a 14-guest phinisi with a cabin-charter calendar. If you want a celebration for twelve, we send a different ship.

Who is Sanya for?

A couple who want the master and the terrace to themselves, or a small family that needs one extra cabin for children or a nanny. She is a poor match for a loud group or anyone who wants a cabin sold by the week.

How many guests can sleep on Sanya?

Five is the published maximum: two in the master, one child on the suite sofa, and two in the lower-deck cabin. Two or three is the more generous number if you want the second cabin left empty.

Where does she usually cruise?

Komodo in the dry months, then Raja Ampat and the Banda Sea when the west season opens. Tell us your window and we will say which coast she is on.

Can she handle a week of diving and slow days together?

Yes. A dive instructor and nitrox sit onboard. The master terrace and the upper deck stay clear of the dive kit, so a massage or a late breakfast is not a negotiation with the first tank.

Tell us dates, headcount and how you want the days to feel. If she is the wrong length, mood or price, we send the next honest match.
