THE DEWI NUSANTARA LIVEABOARD
Dewi Nusantara is a replica of a majestic 3 mast schooner from about the mid 1800's, which became reality after two year of researching and studying marine plans and marine museums and other many years of works in Borneo.
Building a traditional wooden vessel the size of Dewi Nusantara is a complex enterprise that involves a lot of preparation, a lot of labour and a lot of time which nowadays it is only feasible in those rare places where both the wood and the ship’s carpenters are still available. Such rare place was Kalimantan and such skilled master shipwrights were boat builders of traditional Indonesian Phinisi.
Dewi Nusantara has been built following following Lloyds standards, the leading international body of maritime safety standards. Find the infosheet with the technical data of Dewi Nusantara Liveaboard here below or ask for your personal copy in PDF to info@cruisingindonesia.com
