Luxury Crewed Sailing Yacht Phinisi 40 KAT

This custom-built phinisi schooner embodies the timeless elegance of Indonesian sailing heritage. Six air-conditioned cabins accommodate up to 14 guests in en-suite comfort, with flexible berth configurations including double and triple options. The vessel's generous deck space, lined with sun loungers and dining areas, provides the perfect setting for both social gatherings and quiet contemplation whilst cruising East Indonesia's most pristine waters.

A dedicated captain and crew manage all aspects of your voyage, from navigation to gastronomy. The kitchen produces all meals on board, with snacks, coffee, tea and soft drinks available throughout the day. An English-speaking cruise director enriches your experience with local knowledge and cultural insight, whilst the generous watersports inventory—sea kayaks, body boards, snorkelling gear, stand-up paddle boards and two tender boats—enables intimate exploration of remote anchorages. Should you prefer to sleep under the stars, deck mattresses invite you to experience the tropical night sky.

Available year-round with regional itineraries adjusted seasonally, the phinisi operates in Komodo, Raja Ampat and the Banda Islands. Minimum charter duration is five days. The quoted rate includes all crew, meals, accommodation and leisure equipment; alcoholic beverages, park fees and dive activities are additional.

Sailing through Indonesia's eastern waters aboard a traditional phinisi represents the pinnacle of Southeast Asian yacht charter. Unlike purpose-built motor yachts, this vessel moves with the sea's rhythm, allowing genuine connection with the landscape. Komodo's volcanic ridges, accessible only by water, reveal Komodo dragons in their natural habitat alongside pristine dive sites. Raja Ampat's limestone karsts frame some of Earth's most biodiverse coral gardens—ideal for snorkelling directly from the deck. The Banda Islands, remote and rarely visited, reward the intrepid with spice-island history and untouched anchorages. Your crew's intimate knowledge of seasonal conditions and hidden moorings ensures access to experiences beyond standard tourism.
