MSV Si Datu Bua, meaning “Beloved Princess,” was crafted by the skilled Konjo boat builders of Sulawesi, following strict German Lloyds standards. This stunning yacht blends the charm of traditional Indonesian sailing vessels with the ease and comfort of modern features and top safety standards.
Cruise from the Sulawesi Sea to the mountains of Toradja, combining your journey with a stay at our carefully restored 164-year-old clan house on the slopes of Gunung Sesean. With warm, elegant interiors, open-air decks, and flavorful Asian fusion dishes, Si Datu Bua offers a rich experience for a land and sea adventure. Onboard activities include snorkeling, diving, and more.
Though smaller than her sister yacht Silolona, Si Datu Bua delivers the same high-end experience. Built in the spirit of the classic phinisi ships that once sailed the spice routes, she reflects a perfect mix of old-world design and today’s comforts. Every detail—from handcrafted woodwork to advanced systems—speaks of thoughtful construction.
The experienced 14-member crew is known for their warm service, with many returning guests calling them the best they’ve ever had. They’ll guide you to hidden islands, coral reefs, and cultural landmarks where you can dive, snorkel, or simply relax under the sails.
Inside, the design draws on Indonesia’s heritage, celebrating the stories and textures of the historic Spice Islands. Si Datu Bua is ideal for families or groups, offering three large cabins—two master suites and one double—each with king beds, ensuite bathrooms, and full air conditioning.
The yacht is also well-equipped for fun and exploration with a full PADI dive setup, waterskis, wakeboards, kayaks, and fishing gear. Meals onboard are a highlight, with the Executive Chef serving fusion and international cuisine paired with a fine wine selection.
