Built in 2003, the Sea Safari VIII is a luxury live-aboard vessel handcrafted by Bugis master carpenters using the very best well-seasoned "ulin" or ironwood, available. Her elegant lines hearken to a previous age, as she is designed after the fabled Bugis schooners that plied these waters in centuries past. With an 11.4 foot draft and cruising speed of seven knots, she is the perfect vessel for exploring the remote islands and secluded coves of Raja Ampat. Twelve bright staterooms comfortably accommodate 22 passengers and include either twin or double bed sleeping arrangements, en suite facilities with shower, closets, writing desk with chair, window or porthole, and air-conditioning. Three decks feature a bar, lounge with TV, DVD player, and computer with PhotoShop (no Internet available), sun deck, fresh water deck shower, small gift shop, and a restaurant specializing in international and Indonesian cuisine. Amenities include laundry service (no dry cleaning), 24-hour coffee and tea station, satellite phone, a canoe, and snorkel equipment. Scuba equipment is available to rent. She is equipped with a modern navigation system, updated safety and first aid equipment, and carries two Zodiacs.
