Moksha Pradana

A floating palace in phinisi form exclusively exploring the breathtaking beauty of Indonesia's Lake Toba.

Overview

Step aboard Moksha Pradana, a beautifully built Indonesian phinisi yacht designed for private, intimate, and refined sailing experiences amidst one of Southeast Asia’s most evocative landscapes—north-central Sumatra’s untouched Lake Toba, the largest lake in Indonesia and largest volcanic lake in the world, spectacularly formed in the caldera of the Toba supervolcano.

Built with local craftsmanship and modern comfort in mind, Moksha Pradana offers boutique-scale charter cruising, ideal for guests who want sophistication without the crowds. Alongside up to 16 friends or family and her experienced crew dedicated to personalized service, you’ll feel both cocooned and empowered to explore.

Life On Board

The interior blends warm Indonesian woodwork, artisanal details, and luxury touches throughout. Elegant fabrics, bespoke furnishings, and thoughtfully curated spaces evoke the island culture of Indonesia while delivering comfort worthy of a high-end yacht. Social areas include the inviting bar area, entertainment room (with karaoke and TV), Jacuzzi, and both indoor and outdoor dining areas—all convivial gathering points for pre- and post-excursion moments.

Accommodations are intimate and high-touch: 8 stylish cabins across 4 categories all feature queen beds, ensuite bathrooms, refined bedding, and local design accents that give a distinctly Indonesian character. The service is equally upscale: a 24-hour personal butler and chef attend your every whim, and the small guest-to-crew ratio ensures service is attentive, friendly, and geared toward exploration-first experiences—whether you’re stepping into a transparent canoe, venturing ashore into traditional villages, or simply sipping sundowners as the sun dips behind volcanic peaks.

Itinerary Options & Highlight Excursions

Operating on Lake Toba in Sumatra (Indonesia), her customizable itineraries—anywhere from 2 to 6 days’ duration—invite you to discover a region rich in adventure, and each day promises a mix of nature, culture, and leisure. Ascend the winding roads of Sibea Bea Hills to stand atop panoramic ridges, where a towering Christ statue frames awe-inspiring vistas of Lake Toba’s shimmering expanse and misty green mountains. Paddleboard or canoe serenely at Tulas Island, gliding through tranquil coves past quaint farms and hidden villages. Immerse yourself in Simanindo’s vibrant Batak world, stepping into ornate boat-shaped houses alive with rhythmic dances and soul-stirring music. Witness Situmurun Waterfall, where crystalline cascades plunge dramatically into the deep lake below, inviting you to swim, canoe, or picnic in this exhilarating natural amphitheater of wonder and raw volcanic beauty.

On Moksha Pradana, you’ll not only visit a less-traveled corner of Indonesia, you’ll do so in rare comfort, aboard a vessel perfect for extended families and small groups—ideal for those discerning travelers who seek serene wilderness, rich culture, and a refined sailing experience — a journey that leaves you rested, inspired, and transformed by quiet discovery.

Itineraries & Prices

All itineraries are subject to change due to seasonal weather conditions (and resultant variations in river and tributary water levels) affecting accessibility to locations. Thus navigation routes, times and excursions may need to be modified at the cruise captain’s or your guide's discretion.
