What Is a Phinisi Yacht

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, crafted 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.
