Komodo Luxury provides expert boat repair in Labuan Bajo, Komodo, Bali, and Bulukumba — hull, engine, electrical, woodwork, and varnishing for Phinisi boats, wooden boats, and motor yachts. Whether you're cruising the iconic waters of Komodo Island or setting sail around Bali and beyond, our repair and maintenance teams keep your vessel in top condition. With years of local experience in Indonesia, we offer reliable, high-quality services tailored to the unique needs of Phinisi boats, yachts, and wooden boats in these beautiful regions.
Komodo Luxury manages complete yacht refits in Indonesia — haul-out, dry-dock scheduling, hull and systems work, and relaunch — for wooden phinisi, fiberglass yachts, catamarans, and liveaboards based in Labuan Bajo, Komodo, and Bali. The same technicians who keep our own fleet of 9 owned vessels charter-ready supervise every stage of your project, from the first inspection to sea trial, so a refit ends with a boat that is ready to work, not just repaired.
A refit scope is defined by survey first, then built as a fixed work list. Typical packages combine structural hull work — recaulking and plank or frame replacement on wooden phinisi, laminate repair on fiberglass hulls — with engine and generator overhauls, electrical rewiring, navigation electronics, interior refresh, new paint systems, and full safety-equipment renewal. Owners receive staged progress reports throughout, and none of it requires you to be in Indonesia: our team manages the yard, the trades, and the sign-off on your behalf.
We coordinate slipway, hardstand, and dry-dock access for vessels working the Komodo and Bali cruising grounds, including haul-out facilities in Labuan Bajo for boats that need lifting close to the national park. Larger wooden phinisi are often slipped at their origin yards in Bulukumba, South Sulawesi — the birthplace of the phinisi — where we already maintain working relationships with the yards and their shipwrights. While a vessel waits for a lift slot, owners can compare marina berthing costs in Labuan Bajo to stage the boat close to the work.
Across Indonesian yards, cosmetic refits are typically measured in weeks, mid-scope refits covering paint, teak, and mechanical work run one to three months, and full structural restorations of large wooden phinisi take considerably longer. The final timeline is set after survey, and because Komodo Luxury operates its own charter fleet year-round, we plan refit windows around the sailing season so the vessel loses as little revenue time as possible. Owners planning a larger program can pair a refit with our yacht management and scheduled maintenance program so the boat never falls behind again.
Owners choosing a refit team ask for evidence before anything else, and we keep ours ready: a documented portfolio of completed refit and restoration projects across our own 9-vessel fleet and client vessels — work lists, before-and-after photography, and the outcome each project delivered back to service. To review it, request the refit portfolio via WhatsApp (+62 811-3823-875) and our repair desk responds within the hour with the current edition matched to your vessel type.
Boat repair in Indonesia runs from a few hundred USD for minor call-out work to USD 150,000–500,000 for a major structural refit of a large wooden phinisi, based on cost ranges published across Indonesian yards and refit guides for 2025–2026. Komodo Luxury quotes every project individually, in USD, after inspection — the market ranges below show what owners should realistically budget before that survey takes place.
| Service | Market range (USD) | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Haul-out / travel lift (30–100 ft) | $8–15 per ft LOA | Per round trip, incl. pressure wash |
| Slipway haul-out (Bali, up to ~60 ft) | $600–2,500 | Per job |
| Antifouling package (15–24 m yacht) | $4,000–15,000 | Per package: haul-out, antifoul, anodes |
| Antifouling + running gear (~20 m) | $3,000–8,000 | Per job |
| Engine top-end overhaul | $5,000–15,000 | Per engine |
| Engine full rebuild | $20,000–60,000 | Per engine |
| Cosmetic refresh incl. topside paint (15–24 m) | $15,000–40,000 | Per job |
| Mid-scope refit: paint, teak, mechanical (15–24 m) | $40,000–150,000 | Per refit project |
| Major structural refit (25–40 m wooden phinisi) | $150,000–500,000 | Per vessel |
| Marine survey (phinisi, comprehensive) | $200–500 | Per job |
These are industry-published market ranges for Indonesia, 2025–2026 — not Komodo Luxury price lists. What moves a project within a band is vessel size and material, the depth of structural work a survey uncovers, parts logistics to remote anchorages, and finish standard. Where structural costs on an older hull approach rebuild territory, we walk owners through phinisi refurbishment versus new build with real numbers before any yard time is booked, and owners researching what heavy structural work looks like at the source can review yard-level refit and rebuild capability in Indonesia.
Beyond the hull, engine, and electrical work described above, Komodo Luxury manages every specialist trade a repair or refit calls for — fiberglass and gelcoat repair, osmosis treatment, teak deck repair, hull painting and antifouling, propeller and shaft work, and rigging, sail, and mast services — using our in-house technicians and vetted specialist partners in Bali and Labuan Bajo, under one point of contact.
Fiberglass repair in Bali and Labuan Bajo covers laminate damage, gelcoat matching and refinishing, and osmosis treatment for fiberglass yachts and catamarans that live year-round in tropical water. Repairs are staged with proper drying and cure times rather than rushed between charters — the discipline that separates a lasting hull repair from a cosmetic patch.
Our woodwork and varnishing teams handle teak deck repair, recaulking, brightwork, and interior joinery — the same skills our shipwrights apply to phinisi restoration. For hull finishing we manage hull cleaning, antifouling cycles, and full topside repaints, matching paint systems to how hard the vessel works. Bali-based owners can combine this work with yacht refit and repair berthing at Bali's newest marina development to keep the boat staged next to the trades.
Propeller and shaft inspections, alignment, and repair sit alongside our engine servicing as core running-gear work. For sailing vessels — including the gaff-rigged phinisi our region is famous for — we coordinate rigging inspection and repair, sail repair, and mast work with proven specialist partners, then verify the completed work ourselves before the vessel returns to service. If a refit extends into layout or styling changes, our yacht interior design services carry the same project through drawings and renders first.
Komodo Luxury also takes on the projects that fall outside a standard refit scope — converting existing hulls into floating accommodation, dive-support platforms, expedition vessels, or event spaces, and carrying out one-off structural modifications. A recent owner inquiry is typical of the category: decommissioning an imported sailing vessel and converting it into floating guest accommodation, a project that spans survey, naval-architecture review, structural adaptation, and new systems engineered for static live-aboard use.
Conversion projects raise paperwork questions as early as they raise engineering ones — importation, re-flagging, and change-of-use status for a vessel that will operate commercially in Indonesian waters. We accompany owners through that process alongside licensed local agents and the relevant authorities, sequencing the approvals with the yard work so neither waits on the other. Requirements vary by vessel, flag, and region, so each conversion is scoped individually after survey, with the regulatory pathway laid out in the same project plan as the structural work.
To arrange a boat survey in Indonesia, message Komodo Luxury on WhatsApp (+62 811-3823-875) with the vessel type, location, and purpose — condition, insurance, pre-refit, or pre-purchase — and we schedule the inspection in Labuan Bajo, Bali, or Bulukumba. Industry guides put a comprehensive phinisi survey at USD 200–500 per vessel depending on size and surveyor, one of the smallest line items in ownership and by far the highest-leverage one.
Coverage is not limited to our home ports: our surveyors travel to wherever the vessel sits, from Lombok anchorages to working yards across Sulawesi. A recent commission is representative — an in-situ hull and structural survey of a partially completed 53-metre, eight-cabin charter vessel at a yard in Kendari, Southeast Sulawesi, delivered as a written condition report the owner could act on immediately.
A survey documents hull and structural condition, engine and systems health, safety equipment, and — on wooden vessels — fastening, caulking, and timber condition plank by plank. The findings become the refit scope: owners repair what the surveyor found, in priority order, instead of guessing. Buyers weighing whether an older hull is worth restoring can set the survey result against our current phinisi and liveaboard boats for sale to make the refit-or-replace decision with live market numbers, and sellers use the same report to justify their asking price. Since 2015, this survey-first discipline is how PT Komodo Bahari Nusantara has kept its own fleet — and its clients' vessels — working season after season.
