A phinisi is a traditional Indonesian two-masted sailing vessel, now reimagined as luxury floating villas with modern suites, spas, and gourmet dining aboard.
Discover the luxury phinisi: Indonesia's iconic vessel reimagined as a 5-star floating villa. Traditional Bugis craftsmanship meets modern yacht design—air-conditioned suites, onboard spas, private chefs—creating the ultimate Komodo liveaboard experience that prioritizes accommodation over adventure.
The phinisi is Indonesia's legendary sailing vessel, handcrafted by Bugis and Makassar shipwrights using centuries-old techniques. These magnificent two-masted wooden schooners once dominated trade routes across Southeast Asia. Today, luxury phinisi yachts represent the pinnacle of Indonesian maritime heritage—traditional sailing beauty combined with contemporary yacht luxury.
What began as wooden cargo vessels has evolved into Indonesia's most exclusive floating accommodation. Luxury phinisi yachts now feature air-conditioned master suites (50–90 sqm), marble en-suite bathrooms, onboard spas with certified therapists, gourmet galleys with Michelin-trained chefs, and professional crews of 10–15 members.
Choose from our exclusive fleet of luxury phinisi yachts, each handcrafted to exacting standards and categorized by vessel tier, suite quality, and service level.
