When 5 years ago we started to build Samara 1 and Samara 2 little we knew about our journey ahead. It was a wild and romantic- but also a very challenging time. Living and Working on a beach surrounded by jungle, dealing with the countless technical aspects of boatbuilding. It was a very intense experience. Seeing and helping this impressive wooden Phinisis coming in to being was worth wile! With a lot of work and the help of many hands we launched this two boats in 2016 and 2017 and started to operate them successfully from the port of Labuan Bajo, the Gate to visit Komodo and the surrounding National Park.
