Manta Mae Liveaboard

Introduced in 2014, the Manta Mae is a 31-meter Phinisi ironwood ship. Far from just a luxury yacht, it's crafted for adventurous souls with a zest for life and a thirst for exploring unique corners of the world. Its twin masts, striking bowsprit, and seven sails harken back to a time when Bugis and Makassan sailors navigated the 'East Indies' shallow waters on classic Phinisi ships, carrying precious spices.

Manta Mae comfortably hosts up to 12 guests. It boasts a luxurious master cabin, two deluxe bunk bed cabins, two staterooms – all featuring individual air-conditioning controls, cozy queen-size beds, plenty of storage, and beautiful ensuite bathrooms. There's also an additional bunk bed cabin with two beds. The ship's heart, an air-conditioned saloon, offers a bar and seating space. The deck above provides spots for open-air dining, relaxation, and sun-soaking.

The elegant master suite, two staterooms, and both the deluxe and bunk bed cabins were uniquely crafted by Marco Giovanardi, Mantamae’s Italian owner. With an abundance of natural light and a soft ambient glow, these private, air-conditioned havens showcase fossilized wood floors, intricate coral and shell mosaics, and standout Indonesian pieces. The exquisite ensuite bathrooms boast labradorite cabochon from Madagascar, complete with a vanity basin, WC, and rainshower. Each cabin offers luxuries like a TV, personalized entertainment system, ample storage, a safety box, and high-quality beds adorned in premium Egyptian cotton.
