Our Electric Propulsion Technology: How It Works

At the heart of our pioneering vessel is a state-of-the-art electric propulsion system, engineered for reliability and silence. We have eliminated the traditional diesel engine, replacing it with a powerful, high-torque electric motor powered by a 750 kWh bank of marine-grade lithium-ion batteries. This is not a hybrid; it is a fully electric vision capable of cruising for over 10 hours on a single charge, realised today. Our commitment to clean energy defines the essence of the zero emission phinisi experience.

The system is sustained by 150 square meters of high-efficiency solar panels integrated seamlessly into the vessel’s design, harnessing the abundant equatorial sun to replenish our energy stores. When moored, the yacht silently recharges, generating all the power required for propulsion and five-star amenities. For extended passages, our system is supplemented by whisper-quiet, tier-4 generators that operate below 50 decibels and run on biofuel, ensuring operational security without compromising our environmental principles.

The Silent Advantage

The most profound benefit is the absence of noise and vibration, as our electric motor operates at a fraction of the 100+ decibels produced by a standard marine diesel engine. This silent cruising capability transforms the charter experience, fostering a deep sense of peace. Wildlife remains undisturbed, allowing for uniquely intimate encounters. Dolphins play at the bow, Bryde’s whales breach in the Banda Sea, and the vibrant coral reefs below can be explored without the intrusive hum of machinery. It is an immersive experience a conventional yacht cannot replicate.

Sustainable Luxury Onboard: Amenities & Services

A commitment to sustainability does not require a compromise on comfort. Every detail aboard has been thoughtfully curated for eco-conscious luxury. The vessel itself is a masterpiece, built over 18 months by Konjo boatbuilders from South Sulawesi using certified teak and ironwood from Kalimantan. Interiors are appointed with handwoven textiles from Sumba, ethically sourced mother-of-pearl inlays, and bespoke furniture from local artisans, creating an atmosphere of understated elegance.

The guest experience aboard our 45-meter phinisi is defined by unparalleled personal service and luxury amenities, featuring a 1:1 crew-to-guest ratio. Our professional crew of 12, including a private chef and a PADI-certified dive master, provides intuitive service across 6 spacious en-suite cabins. The culinary programme centres on a ‘dock-to-dish’ philosophy, sourcing produce from local island communities and line-caught fish, with menus tailored to your preferences. Onboard, you will find an open-air cinema, a dedicated spa treatment room, and a yoga deck with panoramic views.

Signature Itineraries: Komodo, Raja Ampat, Alor

Our voyages are more than just charters; they are expertly crafted expeditions into the heart of the world’s most biodiverse marine region. We navigate beyond the well-trodden routes to reveal the authentic soul of Indonesia, offering unique itineraries like a 12-day, 600-nautical-mile journey through the Spice Islands to the remote atolls of the Forgotten Islands. This is exploration in its purest, most sustainable form.

The Realm of Dragons: Komodo National Park

Guests in the Komodo archipelago can explore a dramatic, 29-island UNESCO World Heritage site, encountering unique wildlife and world-class dive spots. You can witness formidable Komodo dragons, which grow up to 3 meters long, in their natural habitat, trek to the iconic viewpoint of Padar Island, and swim at the ethereal Pink Beach. Dive or snorkel in world-renowned sites like Manta Point and Batu Bolong, navigating the nutrient-rich currents that support an astonishing density of marine life. Our silent electric approach ensures minimal disturbance to this fragile ecosystem.

The Last Paradise: Raja Ampat

Explore the staggering beauty of the ‘Four Kings’ in West Papua, an area containing the highest recorded marine biodiversity on Earth. Weave through the labyrinthine karst islets of Wayag and Misool, discover hidden lagoons, and snorkel in non-stinging jellyfish lakes. The bird-of-paradise mating dance at dawn is a spectacle to behold. A voyage aboard our zero emission phinisi in Raja Ampat is a journey to the very epicentre of life.

The Forgotten Islands: Alor & the Banda Sea

For the truly adventurous, an expedition to the remote Alor archipelago and the historic Banda Sea offers a glimpse into an older, more mystical Indonesia. Encounter traditional whaling villages, witness the vibrant ikat weaving culture, and dive on pristine, unexplored volcanic reefs teeming with pelagic species. This is a voyage of deep cultural immersion and raw, untamed natural beauty.

Our Conservation Commitment & Partnerships

Our mission extends beyond providing luxury charters. We are a platform for positive change, actively contributing to the preservation of Indonesia’s marine ecosystems. Our zero emission phinisi serves as a vessel for marine research, and we partner with leading organisations such as the Manta Trust and Conservation International. We provide them with a platform for data collection, tagging, and monitoring in remote areas that are otherwise difficult to access.

We operate under a strict ‘Leave No Trace’ policy, which includes a complete ban on single-use plastics, the use of reef-safe sunscreens and toiletries, and a comprehensive waste management system. Furthermore, we are deeply committed to the local communities that are the traditional custodians of these seas. We prioritise local employment, source provisions from island economies, and support community-led conservation and education initiatives.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the range of the zero emission phinisi on a single charge?

The vessel has a significant range designed for multi-day cruising. Under solar power alone on a sunny day, we can cruise at a gentle 4-5 knots indefinitely. Using the battery bank, we can cover over 100 nautical miles in complete silence. This is more than sufficient for island-hopping within regions like Komodo or Raja Ampat. For longer relocations between destinations, our biofuel-powered backup generators can recharge the batteries while underway, ensuring unlimited range with minimal environmental impact.

How is the yacht different from a traditional phinisi?

While her soul and silhouette are that of a classic Indonesian phinisi, her heart is entirely modern. Traditional phinisis rely on diesel engines, creating noise, fumes, and a carbon footprint. Our zero emission phinisi eliminates these by using a silent, clean, all-electric propulsion system. This fundamentally enhances the guest experience by allowing a deeper, more peaceful connection with nature, while also protecting the fragile marine environments we are privileged to explore.

Is the crew experienced in navigating Indonesian waters?

Absolutely. Our Indonesian captain and senior crew members possess decades of collective experience navigating the complex and dynamic waters of the archipelago, from the strong currents of the Komodo channels to the uncharted reefs of the Banda Sea. Their local knowledge is indispensable for safety, and for uncovering the hidden coves, secret snorkel spots, and authentic cultural encounters that define our itineraries. All crew undergo rigorous safety and service training to international superyacht standards.

What level of comfort can I expect in the cabins?

Each of our six spacious, en-suite cabins is a private sanctuary of comfort and elegance. They feature panoramic windows, individual climate control, luxury linens, and beautifully appointed bathrooms with eco-friendly amenities. The design marries traditional Indonesian aesthetics with modern superyacht comforts. The vessel’s electric propulsion system also means there is no engine vibration or noise, ensuring a tranquil and restful night’s sleep whether at anchor or underway.

Is there internet connectivity onboard?

Yes, we are equipped with a satellite internet system to provide connectivity while at sea. However, it is important to note that we often journey to some of the most remote corners of the planet, where signal strength can be intermittent or slow. We encourage guests to embrace the opportunity to disconnect and immerse themselves in the natural world, but we understand the need to stay in touch, and the system is available for essential communications.

Can you accommodate dietary restrictions and preferences?

Certainly. Our private chef is highly experienced in catering to a wide range of dietary needs, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and specific allergies. Prior to your charter, we will provide a detailed preference sheet where you can outline all your culinary requirements and favourite cuisines. Our ‘dock-to-dish’ philosophy allows us to use the freshest local ingredients to create bespoke menus that are both healthy and delicious, tailored precisely to your party’s tastes.

What safety equipment is onboard?

Safety is our highest priority. The vessel is built and maintained to the highest international maritime safety standards (SOLAS). She is fully equipped with state-of-the-art navigation and communication systems, life rafts, life jackets, fire suppression systems, and a comprehensive first aid and medical kit. Our crew is certified in first aid, firefighting, and sea survival techniques, ensuring you are in the safest possible hands throughout your voyage.

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

The charter seasons are distinct. Komodo National Park is best visited during the dry season, from April to November, when conditions are generally calm and sunny. The peak season for Raja Ampat is the opposite, from October to April, when the seas are at their flattest, offering ideal conditions for diving and cruising. We reposition the yacht between these two world-class destinations to ensure our guests always experience the very best of the Indonesian archipelago.

How do you support local communities?

Our commitment to sustainability is social as well as environmental. We employ a predominantly Indonesian crew, providing stable, high-quality employment. We purchase fresh produce, fish, and local handicrafts directly from villages we visit, ensuring the economic benefits of tourism are distributed locally. We also partner with community foundations to support education and health initiatives, believing that the preservation of these incredible places is intrinsically linked to the well-being of their traditional custodians.

Are children welcome onboard?

We warmly welcome families and are adept at creating engaging and educational experiences for guests of all ages. Our crew can arrange treasure hunts, introductory snorkel and dive lessons, and guided nature walks. The silent cruising of our zero emission phinisi provides a safe and peaceful environment. We can tailor menus, activities, and safety precautions to suit the needs of your family, ensuring a memorable and enriching adventure for everyone.
