Three days aboard a hand-built phinisi in Komodo National Park — dragons, Padar’s summit, manta rays and an inside look at the craft behind your yacht.
A legacy reimagined
Your floating masterpiece
Born of the Bugis and Makassar people of South Sulawesi, a luxury phinisi measures 35 to 55 metres, with five to seven cabins hand-built in ironwood and teak.
Air-conditioned en-suite cabins, open decks, al-fresco dining and often a dedicated dive deck.
