Overview
Bhavana is a magnificent 48-meter phinisi sailing yacht from the renowned shipyards of Bira, Sulawesi. This handcrafted vessel carries up to 14 guests across 7 delightful cabins through the breathtaking waters of the Indonesian archipelago, offering a sophisticated, private platform for both world-class diving and refined cultural discovery.
Life On Board
Life aboard Bhavana is defined by an atmosphere of modern elegance where every detail is managed by a professional crew of 14 for an impressive 1:1 guest-to-crew ratio, including a Captain, Cruise Director, and even a dedicated masseuse. The yacht features multiple decks that offer a perfect balance of social spaces and private corners. Guests spend their days lounging on sunbeds across the expansive exterior or gathering in the air-conditioned indoor lounge, which is flooded with natural light from large windows.
The interior design celebrates Indonesian heritage, creating a warm feel that is enhanced by gourmet dining and high-end amenities like a movie library and board games. For those who enjoy staying active, the yacht includes a gym with an exercise bike and weights. One of the most unique features is the Golf Pack, allowing guests to practice their swing from the deck using biodegradable balls and a specialized hitting carpet.
Itinerary Options and Highlight Excursions
Bhavana explores the most iconic corners of the Indonesian seas, providing a versatile range of activities for every type of explorer. Guests can take advantage of an extensive water-sports inventory that includes stand-up paddleboards, wakeboards, water skis, and sea kayaks, all perfect for investigating the calm waters of remote bays.
Two high-powered 6-meter RIB tenders are always ready to whisk guests away for snorkeling expeditions or land-based excursions to discover local cultures and wildlife. For diving enthusiasts, the presence of a Dive Master and high-quality equipment ensures that every underwater foray into the biodiverse reefs is safe and spectacular. Every journey is inclusive of National Park permits and guide fees, ensuring that excursions to see legendary landscapes are seamless and immersive.

Embarking on a voyage with Bhavana offers a rare sense of liberation, allowing you to disconnect from the modern world and reconnect with the raw beauty of the ocean. Guests often finish their journey feeling a profound sense of wonder, having navigated remote waters and participated in human feats like exploring untouched reefs or witnessing traditional island life.
This premier phinisi is an exceptional charter choice for adventurous families, groups of friends, or passionate divers who seek exclusivity and wish to experience the soul of the Indonesian archipelago without compromising on the comforts of a world-class luxury retreat.
