Ancient craftsmanship, modern engineering and meticulous project management — a structured process that de-risks your build and keeps it transparent, on schedule and on budget.
Four phases
From first workshop to classification
A clear sequence from conception to delivery, each phase with its own deliverables and checks.
01
Discovery & naval architecture
Months 1–3. A client vision workshop, concept design and General Arrangement, a line-item specification and budget, then a full shipbuilding contract.
02
Materials & hull construction
Months 4–12. Certified ironwood and teak are graded batch by batch, the keel is blessed, and the hull rises by traditional techniques.
03
Superstructure & systems
Months 13–20. Decks, cabins and wheelhouse are framed from CAD drawings; engines and shafts are laser-aligned, then wiring, plumbing and HVAC installed.
04
Interiors, sea trials & class
Months 21–24. Specialist teams fit the interiors, every system is commissioned, then sea trials and a BKI survey lead to the classification certificate.
Timber selection
Every batch of timber, verified
We source only legally certified (SVLK) ulin ironwood for the keel and hull, and teak for the superstructure and decking — each batch scored against our internal rubric.
Then tradition takes over: a keel-laying ceremony blesses the build, and our Panrita Lopi raises the hull without formal blueprints while our project managers document every step.

Checks at every stage
Transparency is engineered into the process, from the contract you sign to the certificate your yacht receives.
01
Contract & legal
Milestones, payment schedules and delivery terms are set out in a comprehensive shipbuilding contract, managed by our in-house legal counsel.
02
Partner audits
Regular site visits and quality audits of our key engine, generator and electronics suppliers.
03
Sea trials
Stability, manoeuvrability, speed and endurance tested to a strict checklist — emergency stops, turning circles and a 24-hour continuous engine run.
04
BKI classification
Biro Klasifikasi Indonesia surveyors make a final inspection against national safety and construction standards, then issue the classification certificate.
