Nobody who has stood on her deck calls this vessel by her bare name — on its own, “prana” belongs to yoga studios. She is always Prana by Atzaró, the flagship afloat of the Ibiza-born Atzaró group, and the boat international brokers reach for when a client asks for the biggest traditional hull in Indonesian waters. Her operator markets her as the world’s largest and most luxurious phinisi yacht; we treat superlatives as marketing until measured, but the measurable part checks out — 55 metres of timber ship, an 11.3-metre beam and berths for 18 guests, figures that sit above every other phinisi on our list.
That word phinisi matters. Prana is registered as a wooden traditional ship, from the South Sulawesi shipwright lineage that has been lofting these hulls by eye for generations, then fitted with the systems a modern charter demands: a Yanmar marine engine holding a steady 8-knot cruise, paired 30 kVA and 40 kVA generator sets with an 8,000-watt emergency backup, and 5,500 litres of fresh-water capacity. Guests searching for the Prana yacht sometimes expect a white fibreglass motoryacht; what actually swings at anchor off Labuan Bajo is a two-masted timber silhouette that looks like it sailed out of another century — until you step aboard and find the spa.
The photo set above is the honest tour: a front sun-bed deck sized for the full guest list, an outdoor chill area, separate indoor and alfresco dining rooms, and a dedicated spa on board — still a rarity even at the top of the Komodo fleet. Nine en-suite cabins carry up to 18 guests, the largest capacity of any superyacht-tier hull we list, which is exactly why she gets chartered for multi-family reunions, milestone birthdays and buy-outs where the group itself is the occasion, rather than for couples’ escapes.
One thing we state plainly: Komodo Trip does not own or operate Prana by Atzaró. We are a Labuan Bajo booking desk — operated by Komodo Luxury since 2015 — and this page is our independent listing profile: verified numbers, real rate signals and route logic kept in one place so you are not reconciling six broker sites. Browse the rest of the fleet on our Komodo boats page, or if your brief is a fully styled itinerary rather than a single hull, start from our luxury Komodo trip planning service.
