Yacht Builder

Traditional phinisi construction typically spans 18-24 months from contract to delivery, while modern fiberglass or aluminum builds finish within 12-18 months. Timelines depend on vessel size, complexity, and bespoke features, so we share a detailed project schedule during planning and update it throughout construction.

A phinisi is a traditional Indonesian two-masted sailing schooner crafted by master shipwrights in Sulawesi. These wooden vessels marry heritage construction methods with modern interiors and systems, delivering graceful lines, remarkable seaworthiness, and a distinctive character prized for charter programs or private expedition cruising.

Budgets vary by size, materials, and onboard specifications, so we prepare tailored proposals for every project.

Yes. We can enroll your vessel into our managed charter fleet and market it to premium guests when you are not onboard. Owners generally hold 4-8 weeks for personal use, while charter revenue offsets roughly 60-80% of annual operating expenses. Detailed projections are available on our Boat Investment page.

We collaborate with the finest yards nationwide. Phinisi projects take place in Bira and Tana Beru, South Sulawesi - Indonesia's wooden boat heartland - while modern fiberglass or aluminum yachts are built in specialized facilities across Bali and Java. We select the optimal yard for each concept.

Absolutely. Foreign nationals can register under the Indonesian flag or maintain their home flag, depending on cruising plans. We partner with maritime legal teams to structure ownership, secure the appropriate registry, and handle every compliance requirement on your behalf.

Your involvement is entirely up to you. Many clients visit for key milestones such as keel laying, hull completion, and launch ceremonies, while others prefer monthly progress reports with photos and videos. We tailor site visits, updates, and decision checkpoints to match your preferred level of engagement.

Three pillars set us apart: Integrated Service (design, construction, management, and charter revenue support in one ecosystem), Heritage Access (direct collaboration with Sulawesi master builders whose families have crafted phinisi for generations), and Proven Track Record (vessels that consistently earn 5-star guest reviews and strong charter utilization).

Every yacht leaves the yard with comprehensive warranties: 5-10 years for structural components and 1-3 years for onboard systems depending on the manufacturer. Our team supervises quality assurance at each stage so the vessel meets our standards before handover.

We deliver a turnkey experience that continues post-build: commissioning, sea trials, classification, registration, optional crew placement, and ongoing maintenance via our Boat Management program. Most clients transition directly into managed operations so they can simply arrive and enjoy their yacht.
