Conceptualized as a luxury passenger
vessel, the Silolona was designed to be classic in line and style,
and to reflect the stringent demands dictated by Lloyd's Register for
wooden vessel construction, ensuing the highest levels of safety, stability
and performance.
Silolona sails in Indonesia from April to November,
before going up to the West Coast of Malaysia and Thailand and up to
Myanmar, from December to March.
The Vessels
Since her first days of sailing in the waters of East Indonesia and East Malaysia and Thailand, she has surprised more than a few with her breathtaking décor, spacious decks, delightful Asian fusion cuisine and the smiles of its professional crew. Silolona is a traditional wooden sailboat, a Phinisi, built by hand
by the Sulawesi Konjo people in 2004.
All the romance of sailing the ancient spice routes with billowing sails and polished teak decks remains, while you are pampered by all the latest amenities and a gracious crew of 17. Although the schooner will blend right into the local scene, she has
been specially designed and built to International Lloyds specifications
with passenger comfort and safety in mind.
Silolona includes five spacious cabin suites, a teak lounge and
dining area surrounded by large windows, on deck dining area, and well
equipped dive area. See Silolona Deckplans.
Cruise Destination
Silolona offers luxury yacht charters* for
sailing in Indonesia from April to November every year, before going
up to the West Coast of Malaysia and Thailand and up to Myanmar, from
December to March for more luxury cruises.
For beach and sailing, cultural trips or astonishing luxury diving charters in Komodo National Park or Raja Ampat, Indonesia's Eastern Islands are yours to discover in comfort and safety. The luxury cruises of Silolona are planned by blocks of 5, 7 or 9 days
although it is possible to either take several blocks or the number of
days you desire. By deciding when you want to enjoy a private cruise
with Silolona, you will have the choice to have a quiet beach and luxury
diving charter in the Andaman Sea and in Komodo National Park or one
of the most memorable cultural trip you can dream of, by visiting the
tribes of Irian Jaya (Papua), attending the Asmat Art Auction for their
tribal art and visiting the remote and rich Spice Islands and discover
the trade posts and beautiful islands visited during the height of the
Spice Trade.
