Tap into your inner pirate with Prana by Atzaro, the world’s largest charter Phinisi schooner, plying Indonesian waters now.
There were times – recent times – when parts of the Indonesian archipelago were no-go zones for commercial shipping, due to pirates. That made mapping and conquering the islands of Indonesia particularly challenging for the likes of the Dutch and the British. The region has a rich and often bloody history of both piracy and exploration, and the Spice Islands were especially famed for the quality of their boat builders and sailmakers. Now it’s your turn to set sail in search of new horizons.

Operated by Ibiza’s Atzaro Group, which owns one of the Spanish island’s leading luxury spa hotels, the Prana boasts nine elegant suites, each with a private ensuite, soundproofing, and lavish textiles. Four spacious decks with king-size daybeds offer abundant places to retreat and relax.
