KATHARINA DESCRIPTION
















Led by Captain Jeffri and operated by a crew of 12, the 38-metre Katharina sits low in the water, making her a most beautiful looking boat.
Built in 1995 in Kalimantan, her slim hull was originally planned for use as a commercial freighter before she caught our eye with her simple lines and sleek structure.
After her 2014 interior refit, her transformation is a conservation exercise back to authenticity of a mighty seafaring tradition. Not only is the Katharina very elegant on the water, she is also fast becoming a classic yacht, as very few of these original designs remain.
Accommodating just 12 guests in six cabins, with a salon & bar, two sun decks, and an outdoor dining area, she offers a more intimate experience.

GUEST REVIEW
A dream experience from the first to the last minute. SeaTrek took us on a comfy, yet very exciting trip, where most of the time our boat was the only one within teens of km around. Everything was mesmerizing, the fantastic boat Katharina accompanied by the pod of dolphins along the trip, the rocky landscapes within the crystal clear green water of Raja Ampat, the sea life with manta, turtles, moray, lobsters and infinite school of fish, the bright skies at night, the romantic sunsets with cloud of bats, the BBQ on the beach with fresh squid and fresh coconut, the dedicated friendly crew, the 5 stars food every day ranging from authentic italian pizza to grilled lobster.... the list is very long. An unforgettable experience for sure! Thank you SeaTrek!

We are just back from a SeaTrek trip in Raja Ampat, on board MS Katharina, and it has been just absolutely incredible. The scenery and snorkelling are completely out of this world, but what really made the trip were the boat and the crew. They anticipated our every need and it was lovely to come back on board the boat after a snorkelling session, to be greeted always with a fresh fruit juice.
Meals were plentiful and delicious, everything was immaculate and our tour leader Dion couldn't do enough to accommodate us. A really truly fabulous experience, a genuine trip of a lifetime and hugely recommended.

We chartered the SV Katharina and crew for a family holiday in June 2023. It was the holiday of a lifetime. Everything was perfect - the professionalism of our tour leader and crew, endless pristine snorkelling, swimming with whale sharks, interesting excursions, endless delicious meals, comfortable accommodation. But what really made our trip so memorable was the friendliness and kindness of the Indonesian people - especially from our crew. We are already looking forward to our next adventure with SeaTrek.
