Owner’s voyageWhat to pack for a phinisi voyage
A curated wardrobe that moves from sun-drenched deck to starlit dinner, from coral reef to temple — light, practical and respectful of local custom.
The packing listSix things to get right
Around 28°C year-round with 70–90% humidity: pack for breathability, sun and water.
ClimateBreathable fabrics
Linen, cotton and bamboo by day; moisture-wicking blends for active days. If it feels heavy in your hand, it will feel heavy on you.
SunSerious sun protection
UPF-rated long sleeves, a wide-brimmed hat, UV sunglasses and reef-safe SPF 50+ sunscreen, reapplied after every swim.
WaterReef and water gear
Several quick-drying swimsuits, a UPF 50+ rash guard, reef booties, your own mask and snorkel, and a dry bag.
LandTrekking kit
Grippy sandals for island hopping, broken-in trail shoes for Komodo hikes, a small waterproof daypack and a compact rain shell.
EveningSundowners and supper
Silk or linen maxi dresses and chic separates; linen trousers, collared shirts and loafers or boat shoes. Ties are rarely needed.
HealthHealth and wellness
DEET or picaridin repellent, a first-aid kit, ample prescriptions, electrolyte tablets and a reusable bottle — at least three litres a day.

Cultural respectRespectful dress for sacred spaces
At temples, mosques and villages, cover shoulders and knees. A lightweight sarong or scarf slips over shorts and comes off again afterwards.
Choose slip-on sandals — you will often remove shoes before entering homes or places of worship — and ask about dress codes for each excursion.
Pack for every moment
Deck, reef, trail and supper

Technology & connectivityCharged, protected and connected
Bring adapters for Type C and F sockets (220V, 50Hz), power banks, a waterproof phone case and spare memory cards.
Yachts often provide satellite Wi-Fi, but remote islands may have none: a local Telkomsel or XL Axiata SIM and offline maps help.
