Indonesian “Bugis Prahus”, commonly known as Pinisi, are boats of the most impressive craft construction which have ever existed. Their entire structure is made of locally-grown timber (ironwood & teak amongst others) according to a tradition that dates back to long before Portuguese colonists reached the area. The Bugis were expert seafarers native of southern Sulawesi, who traded in timber and spices from that part of Asia to Madagascar. Originally, shipbuilding was the job of the Konjo, craftsmen who, working on their traditional designs, copied the western vessels that reached those lands around 1500 A.D., adapting them to their own style. That was the source of inspiration for building the Pinisi.
Generation after generation, this traditional shipbuilding technique was transmitted orally and it must be considered a cultural treasure.

The Seahorse crew recognize that your trip should not only be an adventurous one, but also an accommodating one flourished with all modern conveniences. In addition to fresh water and air conditioning, there is a full media center including television, DVD, and music playing capabilities.
