Ten Phinisi Yachts Available Now

Our active listing inventory currently includes ten operating phinisi liveaboards sourced through the Komodo Luxury fleet (Juara Holding Group), ranging USD 153,000 to USD 1,120,000 asking. Specifications shown reflect the operating fleet’s published data rather than an independent Buy Phinisi survey; a full photo set and further detail are available on request for any listing, and independent marine survey is arranged for every buyer ahead of closing.

Where This Inventory Comes From — and What Still Gets Verified

The ten vessels on this desk are not independently sourced Buy Phinisi listings — they are drawn from the current sale inventory of Komodo Luxury, our sister brand within Juara Holding Group, which operates these vessels as part of its charter fleet in Komodo National Park and Labuan Bajo. The specifications on each card and vessel page — length, beam, cabins, guest capacity, engine and asking price — are as published by the operating fleet. We have not re-measured or re-surveyed each hull ourselves before publishing this page, and where the source itself was inconsistent or silent on a fact (a year built is not published for any of the ten; VIP IV’s length is given two different ways on its own listing) the vessel page says so rather than filling the gap.That is what the acquisition process is for. Every purchase we broker still passes through an independent marine survey before closing — hull and mechanical condition, engine hours, certificate status, and a sea trial — run by a surveyor answerable to the buyer, not to the seller or to us. Treat the specifications on this page as a shortlist for narrowing candidates, not as a substitute for that step.

Reading a Listing Card

Each card shows LOA, beam, cabin count, guest capacity and an asking price — the facts the source listing actually provides. Cabin count against guest capacity is a reasonable proxy for whether a vessel was built for charter density or for private comfort. The full file — further photography, video and a specification sheet — is available on request for any listing.Beyond phinisi hulls, the gulet and schooner sale desk tracks comparable two-masted vessels for buyers open to either rig.

The enduring allure of Phinisi craftsmanship

Steeped in centuries of maritime tradition, the Phinisi yacht represents a living testament to Indonesia’s rich cultural heritage. Originating from the skilled Bugis and Makassar seafarers of South Sulawesi, these majestic two-masted schooners have plied the waters of the archipelago since at least the 18th century.

Frequently Asked Questions

01

Why do these phinisi listings show USD bands instead of fixed prices?

Because a fixed number before survey is fiction. The band reflects the vessel’s class and condition file; the final price is set by survey findings and negotiation. Publishing bands keeps sellers honest at the top and protects buyers from anchoring on a number nobody will pay.

02

How current are the phinisi listings shown here?

Cards are reviewed monthly and removed at completion or when a vessel’s condition file goes stale. If a card is visible, the vessel was available at last review — but this market moves off-list quickly, and live mandates often reach vessels before they appear here at all.
