Sailing yacht Mutiara Laut in the Gili Islands

Mutiara Laut in the Gili Islands

Last week, SYT editor Maarten was invited as a guest on a charter from Bali to the Komodo Islands in Indonesia, on board the beautiful sailing yacht Mutiara Laut. The design of the Mutiara Laut, which means Pearl of the Sea, is based on that of an 18th century North Atlantic schooner combined with some local Indonesian influence: that of the traditional Phinisi-boat. We'll be publishing a full charter review later in this month, when our team returns from the Singapore Boat Show.
