Luxury Phinisi
Menu
Sail aboard a phinisi — a traditional Indonesian twin-masted sailing vessel handcrafted in South Sulawesi. Centuries of heritage, refitted with modern comfort for the world's most pristine waters.
The phinisi is the iconic Bugis sailing ship of South Sulawesi — recognised by UNESCO as intangible cultural heritage. Each hull is shaped from ironwood and teak by master shipwrights, using techniques passed down for generations. No two are identical.
Modern phinisis pair this craftsmanship with marine engines, dive decks, en-suite cabins, and crew — preserving the romance of sail while delivering serious expedition capability.
Handcrafted Indonesian sailing vessel — not a generic charter yacht.
Wide teak decks for sun, dining, and stargazing.
Twin masts and a deep hull deliver a smooth ride.
Indonesian captain and crew who know the waters.
