Mantamae is a 31-meter Phinisi ironwood schooner with two masts, elegant bowsprit and seven-sail rigging which evokes the romance of a bygone age, where Bugis and Makassan seafarers plied the shallow waters of the East Indies’ on traditional Phinisi vessels laden with valuable spices.

Mantamae accommodates 10 guests in one sumptuous master cabin, three staterooms and a bunk bed cabin with two beds.
The air-conditioned mid-ship salon has a bar and seating area and above deck are areas designed for alfresco dining, relaxing and sunbathing.
Mantamae is the perfect fusion of the authenticity and charm of a traditional Indonesian two-masted Phinisi with all the contemporary concepts in yacht design and technology.

Mantamae has generous spaces for guests to spend time together in comfortable and relaxing surroundings.
Lavishly decorated and recently refitted during 2021, the air-conditioned mid-ship salon has a bar, seating and media area as well as state-of-the-art music system with DJ deck and vessel-wide speakers.
The main deck wraps around a large oval table surrounded by a shaded, over-sized lounging area that forms the social heart of the boat.
The upper deck in front of the Bridge provides a second alfresco lounging area, with deeply cushioned mattresses and hammocks encouraging sun-bathing and star-gazing.
