Quick answer

Most phinisi for sale in Indonesia are never publicly advertised: owners release them privately through known brokers, so a published list is only ever part of the market.

  • Three categories: scheduled new builds, refit candidates, and operating charter vessels.
  • Many have no published asking price — it is set when a qualified buyer shows intent.
  • We inspect every yacht on the water before it goes on our books.

Publicly listed

Ten Vessels You Can See Today

Inspection, sea trial and independent survey arranged in-house on every one. The rest of the book is private — ask and we will send it.

Cards read from the same source as the homepage rail, so the two cannot disagree.

What is actually on the market

What “For Sale” Means in Indonesian Phinisi Brokerage

Western buyers expect a transparent MLS-style listing service. Indonesian phinisi brokerage is different — and richer. Most yachts on our books are not advertised at all.

USD 153,000

Working hulls

VIP II at 22 m and VIP III at 27 m, five and seven cabins. Sound, operating, and priced for a buyer who intends to refit to their own standard rather than pay for someone else’s. Both run the Mitsubishi 6d16.

USD 553,000

Turn-key charter vessels

VIP IV and VIP V. Ten and sixteen cabins, twenty and thirty guests, radar and AIS fitted, water makers aboard. These are earning hulls that transfer with an operating history you can audit.

USD 1,120,000

Top of the book

VIP XI, eight ensuite cabins across four tiers for 18 guests, two suites with private balcony and bathtub. The highest asking price on the book — VIP VI, at 38 m the longest hull available, actually asks less.

Versus a Western brokerage

Relationships and On-Water Inspection, Not an MLS Feed

Northrop & Johnson, Burgess and Camper & Nicholsons sell through MLS systems with standardised data sheets. Indonesian phinisi brokerage runs on relationships and on-water inspection. We physically visit every yacht we list — usually on her current charter routing — and we know each owner’s real willingness to negotiate.

That sounds opaque to a first-time buyer. In practice it is the opposite: we will tell you what each yacht has been offered at recently, what comparable phinisi have transacted for, and where a fair offer sits. Our fee comes from the seller, so our incentive is to close — not to hold out for an inflated price that wastes everyone’s time.

Background

What You Are Actually Buying

The craft
The Bugis and Konjo builders of South Sulawesi have refined phinisi construction over centuries, shaping every plank by hand at the Bira yards. Modern hulls carry current navigation and propulsion; the schooner underneath is unchanged.
What she opens up
Komodo National Park, the reefs of Raja Ampat, and anchorages larger vessels cannot reach. Interiors are specified to the owner — bespoke cabins, galley, dive centre or spa — across an archipelago of some 17,500 islands.
The economics
Selective chartering under professional management offsets running cost while the yacht is not in owner use, and keeps her in the condition that protects long-term value.
