01 — Day by day

Three days from first sketch to sea trial

Your journey begins, not with a simple purchase, but with an intricate dance of vision, tradition, and craftsmanship.

  1. Arrival & Design Consultation

    Your arrival at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (CGK) is met with seamless efficiency. The drive to your private villa takes approximately 45 minutes. At 15:00, the lead designer and project manager arrive, their portfolios thick with possibilities. You articulate your vision, describing not just a yacht, but a lifestyle. The discussion covers everything from hull design and interior layouts to propulsion systems and smart home integration. By 18:30, a preliminary design brief, rich with your specific inputs, starts to take shape.

  2. Shipyard Tour & Material Selection

    A private helicopter transports you to a specialized shipyard in East Java, a 90-minute flight. Carpenters, some third-generation shipbuilders, meticulously carve intricate details from solid teak. Welders create brilliant sparks as they fuse robust steel plates. The tour culminates in the material selection room, where you run your hand over samples of Merbau, Ironwood and Teak, examine marine-grade fabrics, and scrutinise samples of polished chrome, brushed bronze and bespoke ceramic tiles. The shipyard employs over 300 skilled craftsmen and engineers.

  3. Sea Trials & Future Voyages

    A 30-minute private transfer brings you to a secluded marina, where a recently completed 40-metre luxury yacht awaits. The sea trial commences at 09:30 after a safety briefing; the yacht, designed for a cruising speed of 10 knots, reaches a maximum of 16 knots during testing. You inspect the engineering room with its twin Caterpillar C32 engines and the navigation bridge with Furuno and Simrad systems. Post-trial, the build contract is presented for review, along with yacht management services covering crew hiring, provisioning, insurance and global logistics.

Pricing, inclusions and what comes after

Investment in Distinction: Pricing & Inclusions

The 3-day bespoke itinerary is designed as an introduction to the world of luxury yacht commissioning, an exclusive precursor to the ultimate investment in a custom vessel. While the final price of a custom yacht will vary significantly based on size, materials, and specific features (ranging from $10 million for a 30-metre luxury Phinisi to over $50 million for a 60-metre modern superyacht), this introductory experience offers a comprehensive package for discerning clients. The cost for this curated 3-day itinerary, excluding the actual yacht build, is approximately $25,000 per person, based on double occupancy. A 50% deposit is required upon booking, with the remaining balance due 30 days prior to arrival.

Comprehensive Inclusions

The estimated cost of $25,000 per person covers all ground transportation in luxury vehicles, private helicopter transfers (valued at $3,500 per flight segment), and 5-star accommodation in a private villa with dedicated staff. All meals, prepared by a personal chef, are included, along with a curated selection of fine wines and spirits. The itinerary also covers all fees for the design consultations, shipyard access, and the sea trial experience. Personal concierge services are available 24/7. International airfare to and from Indonesia is not included. Optional add-ons can be arranged at an extra cost, typically ranging from $1,500 to $5,000 per day.

Each guest receives a personalized welcome gift, featuring artisanal Indonesian crafts and luxury amenities. Travel insurance for the duration of the trip is included. During the shipyard visit, guests receive a detailed presentation pack outlining capabilities, material options, and a preliminary design proposal. A dedicated project manager is assigned to you from the moment of booking.

Beyond the Build: The Enduring Legacy

Commissioning a yacht is more than a transaction; it’s an entry into a legacy, enduring craftsmanship and a commitment to maritime excellence. The relationship extends far beyond the moment your yacht touches the water for the first time. The after-sales service is comprehensive: scheduled maintenance checks, access to a global network of service partners for repairs and refits, and proactive updates on maritime regulations. Owners often benefit from exclusive invitations to regattas and yachting events. Furthermore, the inherent value of a custom-built Indonesian yacht often appreciates over time, given its unique provenance and the artisanal quality of its construction.

Why Choose an Indonesia Yacht Builder?

Choosing an indonesia yacht builder is a decision rooted in a desire for authenticity, bespoke quality, and exceptional value. Master boat builders, particularly those specializing in traditional Phinisi vessels, possess an innate understanding of wood, water, and wind. This deep-seated expertise is now seamlessly integrated with modern naval architecture and engineering, resulting in yachts that meet the most rigorous international standards for safety, performance, and luxury.

Beyond the craftsmanship, the access to unique, sustainably sourced materials provides another compelling reason. This direct access significantly reduces material costs compared to builders in other regions, allowing for a higher specification of finishes and features within a given budget. Your yacht becomes more than a vessel; it becomes a story, a connection to a vibrant culture and the enduring spirit of Indonesian ingenuity.
