Lamima

Launched in 2014, the 65m/214ft custom luxury yacht Lamima was constructed using traditional methods by local boatbuilders on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi. A classic Phinisi (Indonesian two-masted ship), she features traditional Indonesian craftsmanship by Pak Haji Baso and exterior design from Spanish designer Marcelo Penna. She offers a massive 900 sqm of usable space, accommodating 14 guests across 7 spacious, beautifully appointed cabins and suites.

Lamima’s stunning interiors are contemporary and welcoming, with beautiful Southeast Asian influences reflected in her furnishings and finishes. The yacht’s 11.2m beam helps create inviting, spacious indoor spaces. Featuring an open plan saloon on the main deck, with a large living area, full bar, and a vast dining table.There is also a large, shaded area for al fresco dining and lounging as well as Lamima’s ‘relaxation quarter’, where guests can enjoy traditional Indonesian Pijat massages, as well as a range of spa treatments available throughout the day.
The upper deck extends forward of the pilot house and is furnished with Indonesian sun mattresses, where guests can relax and unwind whilst enjoying the stunning scenery.

The yacht’s 7 ensuite guest cabins include a main deck master suite with a private terrace forward. There are ample exterior deck areas for lounging with clear views of the dramatic Indonesian landscape, and outdoor dining enjoyed under the cooling shade of a bimini.
