Imagine navigating the turquoise passages of Raja Ampat, the only sound the gentle lapping of water against the hull and the call of a distant bird of paradise. Or approaching the prehistoric shores of Komodo National Park without the hum of a diesel engine, allowing for intimate, undisturbed wildlife encounters. This is not a dream, but a reality made possible by our silent electric propulsion. It is an experience that redefines the very essence of a luxury sea voyage.

Our Electric Propulsion Technology: How It Works

At the heart of our pioneering vessel lies a revolutionary electric propulsion system, engineered for silence, efficiency, and complete independence from fossil fuels. Our zero emission phinisi is a testament to what is possible when heritage meets innovation. The system was developed in collaboration with leading international marine technology firms, ensuring its reliability and performance in the diverse conditions of the Indonesian archipelago.

An extensive array of high-efficiency solar panels covers the yacht’s superstructure, harnessing the abundant equatorial sun. This energy is stored in a substantial bank of state-of-the-art batteries, forming the core power source for the silent electric motors that drive the vessel. Underway, the system is whisper-quiet, eliminating the noise, vibration, and fumes associated with conventional engines. This not only preserves the tranquility of the pristine environments we explore but also significantly enhances guest comfort onboard.

For extended passages or during periods of inclement weather, the vessel is equipped with a supplementary system that ensures uninterrupted operation without compromising our environmental principles. This meticulous engineering provides complete autonomy and safety, allowing us to navigate the most remote corners of Indonesia with confidence and a clear conscience.

Sustainable Luxury Onboard: Amenities & Services

Luxury and sustainability are not mutually exclusive; they are intrinsically linked throughout our vessel. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered to provide an experience of supreme comfort that honours the environment. The phinisi itself is hand-crafted by Konjo shipwrights from sustainably managed timber, a tradition of artisanship passed down through generations.

The interior spaces are a sanctuary of understated elegance, featuring natural textiles, locally sourced craftwork, and spacious, climate-controlled suites with panoramic ocean views. Our professional crew, including a private chef and a knowledgeable cruise director, is dedicated to providing intuitive, discreet service. The culinary programme is a highlight, centred on a ‘dock-to-dish’ philosophy. We source fresh organic produce from local island communities and line-caught seafood from responsible fishers, creating menus that are both exquisite and a celebration of Indonesian flavours.

Onboard wellness is paramount. Guests can enjoy sunrise yoga sessions on the sun deck, indulge in traditional Indonesian spa treatments, or simply relax in a shaded lounge with a book. We have eliminated single-use plastics and operate advanced water desalination and waste management systems, ensuring our presence in these delicate ecosystems is as light as possible. This is luxury defined not by excess, but by its thoughtful integration with the natural world.

Signature Itineraries: Komodo, Raja Ampat, Alor

Our voyages are tailored to immerse you in the heart of Indonesia’s most iconic and protected marine environments. With the silent advantage of our zero emission phinisi, we can access sensitive areas and observe wildlife with minimal disturbance, offering an unparalleled level of intimacy with nature.

Komodo National Park: A Prehistoric Realm

Journey through a land of stark, volcanic beauty. We navigate the dramatic Savu Sea to encounter the legendary Komodo dragons in their natural habitat on Rinca and Komodo islands. Dive or snorkel in world-renowned sites like Batu Bolong, a vibrant pinnacle teeming with life, and Manta Point, where majestic reef mantas congregate. We anchor in secluded bays, hike to breathtaking viewpoints, and relax on the ethereal pink sands of Pantai Merah.

Raja Ampat: The Epicentre of Marine Biodiversity

Explore the world’s most biodiverse marine ecosystem. Located in the heart of the Coral Triangle, Raja Ampat is a labyrinth of jungle-clad karst islands and turquoise lagoons. We guide you to the iconic viewpoint of Wayag, snorkel through clouds of fish in the Dampier Strait, and swim with gentle giants at Manta Sandy. Our silent approach is ideal for navigating the hidden passages of the Fam Islands and discovering endemic species, from the walking shark to the Wilson’s bird-of-paradise.

Alor & the Forgotten Islands: An Expedition to the Edge

For the truly adventurous, this itinerary ventures into one of Indonesia’s final frontiers. The Pantar Strait, near Alor, offers some of the most vibrant and pristine reefs imaginable, with world-class muck diving and powerful currents that attract large pelagics. Beyond the underwater spectacle, these voyages offer profound cultural encounters with the traditional communities of the “Forgotten Islands,” whose way of life has remained unchanged for centuries.

Guest Testimonials & Reviews

Our editorial standards demand authenticity. The following testimonials are from verified guests who have experienced a journey aboard our zero emission phinisi.

“The silence was the most profound luxury. To wake up in a remote Raja Ampat bay with no sound but the birds was unforgettable. The service was impeccable, and the knowledge that our trip had zero impact made it all the more special. We have chartered yachts globally, and this was in a class of its own.”

“Diving in Komodo from a silent vessel is a game-changer. Marine life is noticeably less skittish. The crew’s expertise, both above and below the water, was exceptional. The chef’s ability to create world-class cuisine in such a remote location was astonishing. This is the only way to see Indonesia.”

Our Conservation Commitment & Partnerships

Our mission extends far beyond providing an exceptional travel experience. We are fundamentally committed to the preservation of Indonesia’s marine ecosystems and the well-being of its coastal communities. The creation of a zero emission phinisi is the ultimate expression of this commitment, but our work does not end there. We operate under a strict code of conduct that exceeds standard eco-tourism guidelines.

We actively partner with leading conservation organisations on the ground in the regions we visit, such as the Misool Foundation in Raja Ampat and local turtle conservation projects in the Komodo region. A portion of every charter fee is dedicated to supporting these initiatives, funding reef protection, community education, and scientific research. We prioritise sourcing supplies from local villages, employ and train crew from the surrounding islands, and facilitate respectful cultural exchanges that provide tangible economic benefits to the communities that are the traditional guardians of these seas.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the range and speed of the zero emission phinisi?

The vessel is designed for comfortable and efficient cruising at 6-8 knots. The range under full electric power is substantial, capable of multi-day passages between islands. The extensive solar array constantly replenishes the battery banks, and for longer crossings or in the unlikely event of prolonged overcast weather, a discreet, highly efficient backup system ensures complete operational reliability and safety without compromising our core environmental mission.

Is the yacht suitable for families with children?

Absolutely. We welcome families and can tailor itineraries to be engaging for all ages. Activities like snorkelling in calm bays, paddle-boarding, beachcombing, and educational visits to local villages are wonderful for children. Our crew is experienced in hosting families, and the chef can happily accommodate younger palates. For safety, we have life jackets in all sizes and can install safety netting on the railings upon request.

Can you accommodate specific dietary requirements?

Yes. Our private chef is highly skilled in catering to a wide range of dietary needs, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and specific allergies. We ask that you inform us of any and all requirements well in advance of your charter so our team can provision the vessel accordingly, even in the most remote locations. We pride ourselves on creating delicious, gourmet meals that meet every guest’s needs.

What is the best time of year to visit Komodo and Raja Ampat?

Komodo is best visited during the dry season, from April to November, offering calm seas and clear skies. Raja Ampat’s prime season runs from October to April, when the waters are at their calmest and visibility is at its peak. However, both destinations can be visited year-round. Our charter experts can provide detailed advice on the optimal timing for your desired experience, whether it is diving, trekking, or cultural immersion.

What is included in the charter fee?

Our charters are largely all-inclusive. The fee covers exclusive use of the vessel, the captain and full crew, all meals, snacks, water, soft drinks, and local beer. It also includes fuel/energy costs, snorkelling equipment, kayaks, paddle-boards, and up to three dives per day for certified divers (including tanks and weights). Park and port fees are also covered. Premium wines, spirits, and dive certification courses are typically additional.

Do I need to be a certified diver to enjoy the underwater world?

Not at all. The snorkelling in both Komodo and Raja Ampat is extraordinary, with vibrant coral reefs and abundant marine life often just metres below the surface. For those interested in trying scuba, we can arrange a PADI Discover Scuba Diving experience with our onboard instructor. For those wishing to become fully certified, we can facilitate the full PADI Open Water course during your charter.

What kind of marine life can we expect to see?

Indonesia is the global centre of marine biodiversity. In Raja Ampat, expect to see vast schools of fish, multiple shark species, majestic manta rays, and pristine coral gardens. Komodo offers a different but equally thrilling experience, famous for its strong currents that attract large pelagics, sharks, turtles, and, of course, the magnificent manta rays. The sheer diversity is staggering, and our expert guides know the best spots to find them.

How is waste managed onboard?

We adhere to a strict zero-discharge policy in sensitive marine areas. All grey and black water is treated by an advanced onboard marine sanitation device. All solid waste is sorted for recycling and stored onboard to be disposed of responsibly at designated port facilities. We compact all non-recyclables to minimise volume. We have also eliminated single-use plastics and provide guests with reusable water bottles and natural, reef-safe toiletries.

What safety equipment is onboard?

Your safety is our absolute priority. The vessel is fully equipped and certified to international maritime safety standards. This includes life rafts, life jackets for all guests and crew, EPIRB (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon), satellite telephones, radar, GPS, depth sounders, and a comprehensive first aid and medical oxygen kit. Our crew is extensively trained in first aid, emergency response, and firefighting procedures.
