About Crewed Motor Sailer VELA
VELA is a Phinisi 50m motor sailer completed in 2022, blending time-honoured Indonesian maritime craftsmanship with refined contemporary design. Six double cabins accommodate up to 12 guests in unhurried comfort, whilst the expansive deck spaces invite leisurely days beneath the equatorial sun. Polished teak and artisanal finishes create an atmosphere of understated sophistication throughout.
The upper deck commands sweeping views of Komodo, with sun loungers positioned to capture unobstructed sightlines across turquoise waters. A sheltered foredeck serves as the venue for alfresco dining, where Chef Widi draws on decades of fine-dining experience to craft Indonesian cuisine with precision and flair. As evening approaches, retire to quiet anchorages framed by dramatic limestone cliffs.
