Top 5 luxury boats to explore Indonesia

With more than 17,000 islands, Indonesia is a true paradise for explorers. Boasting some of the world’s best dive sites, volcanic islands, white sand beaches, and lush jungles, the archipelago extends its beauty far beyond Bali, its most popular tourist destination. Due to the vastness, one of the best ways to discover hidden gems and remote areas, such as Raja Ampat or Triton Bay, is to embark on a yacht charter. Floating boutique holiday homes with exquisite interior designs, these boats cater to those who look for an authentic yet luxurious way to navigate through the pristine waters of the Indonesian archipelago. Here is a selection of boats that invite you to unwind your soul and discover the wonders of Indonesia in style and utmost comfort.

Fenides

Her elegant lines and time-honored design, Fenides fuse German perfectionism with skilled Indonesian craftsmanship. Built from tropical Ironwood and native Teak wood, she redefines the standards of luxury liveaboards. Accents of modern art, warm colors, and natural wood create a light and welcoming atmosphere the moment you step onboard. Large indoor spaces, wide decks, and private areas are perfectly laid out, while the modern and luxurious cabins complete the unique experience aboard this beauty.

Magia II

Magia II differs in design from a traditional Phinisi yacht, but this does not detract from her allure. The yacht is not only a luxurious stay but also a floating gallery of well-curated artwork and decorative items. Once onboard, you notice the sense and passion for beauty that influenced the design. The details are purely enchanting from fine English silverware and handmade Italian lamps to ornate botanical French wallpaper in indoor spaces. The master cabin on this yacht comes with a private balcony and jacuzzi for the ultimate luxury experience.

Celestia

Inspired by the celestial realm, the name “Celestia” evokes a sense of heavenly beauty and tranquility. This magnificent yacht perfectly blends modern elegance with traditional Indonesian craftsmanship. Nothing has been left to chance with interiors designed by the Cape Town-based design studio, Deirdre Renniers. All spaces have been carefully crafted to seamlessly blend with the colors of the surrounding landscapes. Each of the 7 suites features teak and rattan-paneled furnishings finished with brass hardware and delicate textiles. The opulence continues into the ensuite bathrooms, boasting hand-glazed locally-made tiles, white Carrara marble counters, and Villeroy & Boch fittings.

Senja

With just one luxurious master cabin, Senja is the ultimate choice for couples seeking an extraordinary getaway. Every detail onboard this luxury Phinisi has been carefully assembled to create a unique and private holiday experience. Each piece of furniture and artwork blends together in a way that’s appealing to the eye and evokes a feeling of serenity and deep connection with your environment. Natural materials, such as teak and rattan, fuse seamlessly and create an airy atmosphere that reflects the luxury, sophistication, and nautical heritage of the vessel.

Rascal

Last on our list is Rascal. With her Hamptons beach house style, the yacht was purposely built for an authentic yet luxurious way to connect with amazing places. Handcrafted from teak and ironwood, she showcases elements of traditional boat building combined with a modern design. Onboard, teak accents and brass elements are combined with light blue and white hues to add a refined tropical twist to her overall appearance. The interiors and cabins convince with clear lines and large windows that allow for spectacular views and natural light.
