About Vela

Vela Phinisi is a 50-meter traditional Indonesian sailing boat that brings together authentic craftsmanship and modern luxury. Built with the timeless phinisi design that has navigated these waters for centuries, she offers an intimate experience for up to 12 guests across 6 beautifully appointed cabins. Whether you’re planning a family adventure or a getaway with friends, this Vela Phinisi boat charter creates the perfect setting to explore the legendary waters of Komodo National Park at your own pace.

What makes Vela truly special is how she balances adventure with comfort. Powered by an 890hp Yanmar engine cruising at 10-12 knots, she takes you smoothly between the iconic sites of Komodo Island while you relax in spaces designed for connection and relaxation. From sunrise yoga on the sundeck to evening dinners under the stars, every moment aboard feels both special and effortlessly natural. With a professional crew attending to every detail, your only job is to soak in the stunning landscapes and create memories that’ll last long after you return home.

 

Facilities

Life aboard Vela Phinisi is designed around comfort and adventure in equal measure. The boat charter features indoor and outdoor dining areas where you can enjoy fresh-caught seafood while watching the sun set over Komodo National Park. Entertainment options include Samsung OLED TVs with a movie library, outdoor cinema screenings, and complimentary Starlink internet to share your journey (though you might find yourself too captivated by the scenery to check your phone). The sundeck and outdoor chill areas give you plenty of space to unwind, whether you’re reading a book or simply watching the islands drift by.

For those who crave adventure, Vela comes equipped with everything you need to explore both above and below the waterline. Diving enthusiasts will find 12 complete dive kits, Nitrox capabilities, and two Bauer air compressors, making it easy to explore Komodo Island’s world-famous underwater sites. Water sports lovers can play with two jet skis, Seabobs, wakeboards, kayaks, and stand-up paddleboards. There’s even an outdoor gym with TRX equipment and yoga mats for maintaining your wellness routine. With two powerful tenders ready to whisk you to hidden beaches and secret snorkeling spots, every day brings new possibilities to explore one of Indonesia’s most breathtaking destinations.
