Sail a Sampan - Style Superyacht in Raja Ampat
Dunia Baru is a superyacht with soul. Everything - from the hull to the bar stools to the door hinges - was hand - crafted from wood sourced from Borneo and created by Indonesia's finest boat builders.
The laid back luxury of Dunia Baru’s interior invites you to make yourself comfortable – and it won’t take long before you feel completely at home onboard this luxurious vessel. Dunia Baru’s spacious timber staterooms tempt long, lazy mornings, but you might prefer to choose a book from the yacht’s library and stretch out on the sofas, or order a drink and settle for sunbathing on one of the lounging decks as you watch the unrivalled scenery pass you by. The beanbags on the foredeck become a favourite with so many guests, who settle in to watch the dramatic landscape of Indonesia’s islands slip by. By night, these beanbags are fantastic places from which to stargaze but hours before that, the deck’s lounge area is converted into an al fresco cocktail bar like no other to welcome in the evening from.
The archipelagos through which Dunia Baru sails truly are spectacular and every day off ers something new: dramatic mountain peaks that rise from crystal waters; dolphins that swim alongside the bow; secluded coral-fringed coves; bays of water so clear and blue, that they are quite sublime. Whiling away the hours as you sail through these views is something dreams are made of.
