FAQ
Before you enquire
It depends on size, complexity and interior fit-out. As a guide, a 35–40 m luxury phinisi takes 18–24 months from keel laying to final sea trials. The formal proposal includes a detailed timeline with key milestones.
Yes. We work with you and your chosen interior architect, checking that the plans are structurally and technically feasible within the handcrafted wooden hull — from cabin configuration to material selection.
It depends on flag state and operating area. We commonly work with the Indonesian classification society (BKI) and can build to standards certifiable by RINA or Bureau Veritas, including SOLAS and MARPOL where applicable.
Against construction milestones. An initial deposit covers preliminary design and material procurement; later payments follow keel laying, framing, hull planking, engine installation and delivery, as agreed in the shipbuilding contract before work begins.
Our focus is new builds. Refit, repair and annual maintenance are offered only for vessels built at our yard, carried out by the craftsmen who know their construction.
Yes, to any port worldwide — as a delivery voyage on its own hull with an experienced crew, or by heavy-lift ship for trans-oceanic passages, including export documentation and insurance.
