There are few better ways to understand a destination than from the deck of a sailing vessel built for exploration. Recently, EYOS welcomed a small group aboard Lamima for a voyage through Indonesia, offering an immersive look at one of the region’s most storied yachts and the experiences she makes possible.
Over several days at sea, guests were introduced not only to the elegance of Lamima, but also to the rhythm of life onboard. Mornings began with light spilling across teak decks. Days unfolded through island visits, snorkeling and diving, and long lunches anchored in quiet bays. Evenings closed with shared meals beneath the stars as sails rested overhead.
These are the photos we captured along the way.
