Sea
Safari VII
is a 45m wooden, Indonesian Pinisi-rigged Bugis Schooner constructed
in 2001. Blending in perfectly with the environment, these boats
are the most impressive fleet of wooden sailing vessels still in
normal commercial work. The builders of Pinisi ships have strong
animistic beliefs and spiritual roots that combine with their ancient
construction techniques in a way of life that has changed little
in centuries and which they believe will bring them prosperity and
harbor them from any evil well into the future. These local traditions
have been combined with interior designing and dive equipment to
meet the specifications of a first class liveaboard.
Constructed
with three decks the Sea Safari VII gives you plenty of space
to lose oneself; whether it is in the air-conditioned comfort of
the large saloon or lazing under the shade of one of the ship’s
huge sails. The 14 cabins have individual air-conditioning units
and bathrooms, are teak wood-paneled and furnished using locally
crafted wall hangings and artifacts from throughout the Indonesian
Archipelago. The cabins provide a welcome sanctuary after a day
filled with exciting dives where one can kickback and annotate dive
logs or just catch up on a good novel.
