Phinisi are traditional Indonesian two-masted sailing vessels, built by hand in Sulawesi for over 300 years. Modern luxury phinisi like Lamima (65m) and Aqua Blu (60m) combine that craftsmanship with five-star amenities, professional crew, and full charter facilities.

Every full charter includes: full crew (8+), Indonesian chef, fuel within itinerary, snorkel/diving gear, kayaks/SUPs, all meals onboard, soft drinks, basic beer/wine. An APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance) covers fuel beyond itinerary, port fees, premium beverages and special requests.

Question 6

When is the best time to charter in Indonesia?

Accepted Answer

Komodo: April to November (best May–September). Raja Ampat: October to April (best December–February). Banda Sea: only October–November and April–May for spice islands crossings. Bali day charters operate year-round.

Question 7

How far in advance should I book?

Accepted Answer

We recommend booking 4–6 months ahead for peak Indonesia season (July–September) and Mediterranean summer (July–August). Last-minute charters are sometimes possible — our concierge will surface live availability and special positioning rates.

Question 8

How is YH Charter different from a booking aggregator?

Accepted Answer

We are curated, not aggregated — every vessel walked by our team, every captain met. One concierge handles your charter from first message to last departure. Through our sister brand The Luxury Bali, yacht, villa and helicopter can be booked on a single contract.
