A Komodo boat is a real asset with real running costs - crew, fuel, berth, maintenance, insurance, park and permit fees. Run well in charter, the right vessel can offset much of that and, in a strong season, more. We will not promise a return; instead we share indicative figures and let you decide. As the fleet desk operated by Komodo Luxury, we run boats here ourselves, so the numbers we give come from operating, not a spreadsheet.
Indicative, never guaranteed. Charter income depends on vessel, season and occupancy.
Real running costs. Crew, fuel, berth, maintenance, insurance, park fees - all laid out.
Operator-grade insight. We charter boats in Komodo, so our economics are lived, not theoretical.
One accountable desk. Buy, build, flag and charter-manage through the same team.
A new-build phinisi takes 12-24 months, and the best brokered boats sell quietly before they ever reach a listing. To own a vessel that earns through the 2027 peak season (April-October), the time to brief, value and commission is now. Send your plans and we will scope the boat, the yard and the charter setup with you.
Yes - through brokerage and new-build, not a fixed showroom. We are the boat desk operated by Komodo Luxury, who run a Komodo fleet, so we know which phinisi and speedboats quietly change hands and which South Sulawesi yards build well. Tell us your budget and use, and we source or commission to brief. We do not publish fake inventory; every figure is indicative and confirmed on enquiry.
How much does a phinisi cost?
It depends on size, age, materials and fit-out. As a rough, indicative guide a small traditional phinisi can start in the low hundreds of thousands of US dollars, while a larger new-build luxury phinisi runs well into seven figures. We give you an honest valuation range on phinisi price & cost before you commit - all figures indicative, confirmed on enquiry.
Can I commission a brand-new phinisi?
Yes. A new build is ordered from a traditional shipyard in South Sulawesi (Bira, Tana Beru, Bulukumba) and typically takes 12-24 months depending on length and specification. We help with the brief, the yard, milestone oversight and the move to Labuan Bajo. Plan a 2027 launch now if you want peak-season charter income from day one.
Can a boat earn charter income in Komodo?
It can. With charter-management your boat is marketed, crewed and run in the Komodo charter market while you own the asset. Returns vary with vessel, season and occupancy and are never guaranteed - we share honest, indicative economics on the charter-income page so you can judge for yourself.
Why buy through a Komodo broker rather than direct?
Buying a boat in Indonesia involves survey, flagging, ownership structure and local know-how. A Komodo boat broker who lives and operates here helps you avoid a tired hull, a bad document trail or an over-priced deal - and stands behind the introduction. Operated by Komodo Luxury.
Tell our Komodo Luxury brokerage desk what you have in mind - buying, commissioning a new build, or putting a boat into charter income. We reply with an honest assessment, indicative figures and clear next steps. No fake listings, no pressure.
