Mentawai like you mean it.

Built the old way, run the whole way through.

Maki is a traditional Phinisi, handbuilt by boat builders in Sulawesi in 2016 — originally for diving charter in the Komodo Islands — and sailing out of Padang, West Sumatra since April 2019 to chase waves. She's been run by the same crew through the years it took to get this right — not flipped between operators, not a fleet boat. Just one boat, done properly.

Every plank, every rope splice, every cabin was finished by hand before she ever touched water. That craft is still what you feel first stepping aboard.
