Build a Phinisi for Your Charter Fleet

A newbuild lets you specify the vessel around your charter model rather than retrofitting someone else’s compromises. Cabin layout, dive deck size, generator and air-conditioning capacity, tank capacity for multi-day itineraries, and guest-facing finish level can all be set at the design stage instead of negotiated around an existing hull. You also get full visibility into construction quality — timber selection, joinery, engine installation, and systems work — rather than inheriting an unknown maintenance history that matters later when the vessel needs to be insured, classed, or resold into the charter market.Demand for liveaboard cruising around Komodo National Park and further east toward Raja Ampat has kept a steady flow of operators expanding or renewing their fleets. We do not publish specific occupancy or yield figures here — legitimate ROI modeling depends on your itinerary, cabin pricing, and season mix — but we are glad to talk through realistic scenarios on a call rather than quote a generic number that may not fit your route.

Once your phinisi is complete, we coordinate the delivery voyage from Bulukumba to your operating base — most commonly Labuan Bajo for Komodo National Park operations, or Bali for a broader charter and refit hub. For operators basing their fleet in Bali, our sister site Kura Kura Marina handles berth booking and yacht agency and fleet-management services, so your new vessel has a berth and local agency arranged before it even arrives. Both sites are operated by Juara Holding Group as part of the same marine ecosystem.
