This directory documents 14 working phinisi and semi-phinisi of the Indonesian charter fleet by specification — length, cabins, guest capacity and operating niche — with a link to each vessel’s official site. It is a specification reference, not a booking engine: every entry is verifiable against the vessel’s own published documentation.
Vessels are ordered by length overall. For how to read the specifications, see phinisi specifications explained; for what the cabin numbers mean in practice, see cabin layouts.

Specifications summarised from each vessel’s official published documentation as of August 2026; the official site is authoritative where figures are updated. Rates are stated only where the operator publishes them openly (LASHA’s rate page; Lamborajo’s rate card).
How to Use This Directory
- Match size to purpose: 22–27 m boats suit the 3D2N Komodo circuit; 30–35 m hulls carry serious diving and family programmes; 47 m+ ships are events and expeditions. The route logic is in our itinerary guides.
- Verify, then compare: each official site publishes cabin plans and specifications — read them against our layout reference and the checks in maintenance.
- Provenance counts: Bulukumba build origin and build year are stated where the operator documents them (Naturalia, Catnazse, Pinta, Natural 001 above); the background is in phinisi boat building.
Beyond This List
Most vessels above operate under the Komodo Luxury fleet umbrella from Labuan Bajo, which maintains the largest documented phinisi fleet in the region. For charter-side comparisons — matching a vessel to dates, budget and route rather than reading specifications — our sister publication luxuryphinisi.com covers the booking dimension this directory deliberately leaves out.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these all traditional phinisi?
Twelve are wooden phinisi in the Bulukumba tradition; Lamborajo’s fleet is documented as semi-phinisi (traditional profile, modernised construction) and is labelled as such above.
Why are some specifications approximate?
We state only what each operator publishes. Where a site gives class rather than exact LOA, the directory says so rather than inventing a number.
Which vessel is the newest?
Catnazse, launched from Bulukumba in 2026 — followed by the 2021 builds Pinta and Natural Phinisi.
Can I charter directly from these links?
Yes — each official site handles its own enquiries. This directory’s role is the specification layer: what the vessel is, before you ask what it costs.
