Mantra

  • Motor Yacht
Add to wishlist Contact us

Mantra is a classic 30-metre phinisi style yacht with retro lines blending sympathetically with modern technology. Her style harks back to the ancient spice trading days and she was built on the island of Sulawesi using ancient boat building techniques.

The three ensuite guest cabins are contemporary, comfortable and spacious, each with air-conditioning. Mantra sleeps six in comfort with space for an additional four guests if using all bunks. Additional facilities include a lounge, library and sun deck. The crew of seven includes a knowledgeable captain, cruise director plus a dive master and chef.

Why we like Mantra

Due to her layout Mantra is perfect for a group of friends or families travelling with children.

Activities on board Mantra

Cruise among mangroves and volcanic islands while exploring colourful coral reefs and searching for wildlife on land, from the Komodo dragon to bird of paradise. On board facilities include snorkelling and diving gear as well as kayaks.

Sustainability

Solar panels and a high efficiency inverter allows Mantra to run using no or extremely low impact generators. Sustainable, bamboo bedding and products are used on board.

Clare was terrific! At the last minute, I did a complete change of my plans, and she was incredibly graceful and positive about changing everything. The livaboard she recommended was great. I thoroughly enjoyed--and appreciated--working with her.
