    About This Vessel

    Santemako is a 23-metre Komodo phinisi with four guest cabins and capacity for up to 12 guests. The primary vessel page lists a Mitsubishi 6D15 main engine, Jiangdong generator, Garmin navigation and VHF radio communication.

    The cabin media and labels identify four physical rooms: Master Cabin, Suite Cabin, Deluxe Cabin and Superior Cabin. The vessel facilities state that guest cabins are air-conditioned and use private ensuite bathrooms. Because the source contains an obviously inconsistent bathroom count, this listing keeps the supported cabin-level fact without repeating that erroneous number.

    Common spaces include an indoor dining area, large sun deck, large outdoor area, TV, karaoke and snorkeling equipment. The safety list includes two lifeboats/tenders, life jackets, ring buoys and fire extinguishers.

    Santemako is represented as both shared inventory and private charter. Manta Point and Taka Makassar are explicit itinerary stops. Park and ranger fees remain outside the base price unless a confirmed booking says otherwise.
