Explore the iconic Komodo pilots on this luxurious schooner
Dallinghoo is a traditional schooner that was originally built in South Africa in the 1990s. After a number of years spent sailing in the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, the vessel made her way to South East Asia.
In 2015, Dallinghoo underwent a thorough 18-month renovation so that she now offers intrepid travellers a unique and adventurous sailing experience throughout Southeast Asia.
