Private charters start from USD 5,400 per night, covering Komodo National Park itineraries of 3 to 10 days for couples, families, and groups of up to 20 guests.

A luxury Phinisi Komodo cruise offers something modern yachts cannot replicate — a living connection to Indonesia's seafaring heritage. These traditional two-masted wooden vessels, handcrafted by Bugis shipwrights of South Sulawesi, have sailed the archipelago for over 500 years and now provide one of the most distinctive ways to explore Komodo.
Built from ironwood and teak using ancestral techniques passed down through generations, Phinisi boats are recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Chartering a Phinisi in Komodo is not just transportation, but a journey aboard a vessel shaped by centuries of maritime tradition.
Their wooden hulls are ideal for tropical seas, offering natural insulation and durability, while the shallow draft allows access to secluded bays and hidden lagoons. The iconic twin masts can harness the wind, creating a quieter and more immersive sailing experience.
Behind the classic exterior lies modern comfort — air-conditioned ensuite cabins, handcrafted teak interiors, spacious sun decks, and premium onboard amenities — defining the refined luxury phinisi Komodo experience.
We operate Indonesia's most exclusive collection of luxury Phinisi yachts, each meticulously selected for superior craftsmanship, modern amenities, and impeccable crew service.
A Komodo phinisi cruise is more than sailing — it is curated exploration.

GUEST EXPERIENCES
Discover why elite travelers and world-class influencers choose us for their ultimate Indonesian escape.
A luxury Phinisi in Komodo is a privately chartered, hotel-standard sailing vessel based on the traditional Phinisi — a two-masted Indonesian wooden yacht handcrafted by Bugis and Konjo shipwrights of South Sulawesi using centuries-old joinery techniques. Modern luxury Phinisi yachts combine this heritage with ensuite cabins, air-conditioning, private chefs, and certified crew. Komodo Luxury operates a fleet of heritage Phinisi yachts from Labuan Bajo, the gateway to Komodo National Park, with charters starting from USD 3,500 per night.
A Phinisi is a traditional two-masted Indonesian wooden sailing vessel handcrafted by Bugis and Konjo shipwrights in South Sulawesi — primarily in the village of Tana Beru, Bulukumba — using centuries-old techniques without modern blueprints. UNESCO inscribed the art of Phinisi boat building as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2017. Today, luxury Phinisi yachts operated by Komodo Luxury combine this heritage with hotel-grade amenities for charters in Komodo National Park.
The Bugis and Konjo are seafaring ethnic groups from South Sulawesi, Indonesia, renowned for centuries as Southeast Asia's master shipbuilders. The Konjo specialize in hull construction in Tana Beru and Ara villages (Bulukumba region), while Bugis craftsmen handle rigging and finishing. Together they produce the Phinisi entirely by hand from ironwood and teak, without written plans — a tradition recognized by UNESCO in 2017. Every Komodo Luxury Phinisi traces its origin to this living heritage.
