Phinisi & Luxury Yachts for Sale — Indonesia

Bands labeled market range reflect brokerage listings observed across the Indonesian market in 2026; our listed sale prices on this page are per boat and itemized in USD. Weighing a specific unit? Request the full photo and video pack for any listed vessel via WhatsApp — recent interior and exterior photography, a walkthrough video, and drone footage where available — before committing to a viewing. At the top of the phinisi segment, you can also review the luxury phinisi currently for sale through our group's dedicated luxury-phinisi desk. The same listings serve domestic buyers searching in Bahasa Indonesia for kapal dijual or jual kapal phinisi: the sale desk works in Indonesian and English, and title documents in an Indonesian transfer are issued in Indonesian first.

Buy a pre-owned liveaboard when your priority is speed to water and a documented operating history; commission a new build when layout, cabin count and class requirements are non-negotiable. That single distinction settles most build-or-buy decisions in Indonesia.

A used phinisi or yacht delivers immediately: the vessel exists, its survey records and refit invoices can be audited, and where charter contracts transfer with the sale it can be earning from the first season. The trade-off is inheriting the previous owner's layout and maintenance history — which is exactly why an independent survey is a condition of sale in our standard contract, and why working hulls suited to refit projects trade far below turn-key builds. Where a hull needs work before service, our boat repair and refit team can scope the yard time before you commit.

A new build, by contrast, spreads payment across build milestones and delivers exactly the vessel you specify — hull form, cabin plan, engine package and class path. If that is your route, our boat construction service manages the commission end to end. For a yard-side view of what drives build pricing at the traditional phinisi yards, the Bulukumba builders' phinisi price guide sets out the cost drivers from the shipwrights' perspective.

Hulls at intermediate build stages also come to market from time to time. They can be sound value, provided the yard contract, stage-payment status and material provenance are verified before any deposit moves — due diligence our desk runs as standard.

Buying a boat in Indonesia follows four steps: a verified listing and accepted offer, an independent marine survey and sea trial, a full documents audit, and a staged transfer of funds against milestones — offer, survey, transfer — with the beneficiary matching the contracting entity at every stage.

The documents audit is where experienced buyers slow down. For an Indonesian-flagged vessel, expect to verify:

• The vessel title deed (grosse akta) and proof the seller is the registered owner
• Registration and flag certificates, with tonnage and measurement documentation
• Survey history, class records where applicable, and refit invoices
• Maintenance logs, engine service records and crew contracts
• Any charter contracts transferring with the vessel, with revenue records where relevant

Foreign buyers typically hold Indonesian-flagged vessels through a compliant structure such as a locally registered entity — the routes are established, and our desk walks buyers through them with counsel before any deposit moves. The wider legal and ownership picture for Indonesia is covered on our boat services hub.

On the physical side, a wooden liveaboard inspection concentrates on hull timbers and keel condition, fastenings and caulking, engine hours against service records, deck hardware and rigging, electrics and safety equipment. We arrange on-site inspections in Labuan Bajo or Bali and facilitate professional marine surveys; buyers who want a yard-level check can also book a pre-purchase survey at the Labuan Bajo shipyard before closing.

Komodo Luxury operates as a yacht broker in Indonesia through PT Komodo Bahari Nusantara, established in Labuan Bajo in 2015 — and the brokerage desk sits inside the same company that owns 9 vessels and works with more than 200 vetted partner yachts across the archipelago. That is the structural difference between fleet-backed phinisi brokerage and a listings portal: we operate the class of vessel we sell, every week.

In practice, fleet operations give the sale desk data a standalone broker cannot match — real crew rosters, real maintenance calendars, real charter revenue where relevant — which is why every listing arrives with an operating history we can actually verify. It also gives buyers a complete path after the sale: our yacht management team can crew, maintain and operate the vessel, and owners who buy as an investment can keep it earning under the charter-back ownership model with the same standards and calendar that run our own fleet.

The listings on this page are never the whole inventory. If nothing here fits, tell us your spec — cabin count, guest capacity, budget band and intended use — and we source from the 200+ vetted fleet we already work with, shortlisting only vessels whose operating history we can verify. Broker-to-broker sourcing briefs are handled the same way.

The company is rated 4.9/5 by more than 1,500 guests and holds TripAdvisor Travelers' Choice recognition in 2025 and 2026.
