The Soul of the Sea: A Journey Aboard Dunia Baru’s Luxury Phinisi Yacht
Sailing through the turquoise waters of Southeast Asia, Dunia Baru stands as a masterpiece of tradition and elegance—a luxury phinisi yacht handcrafted by South Sulawesi’s Konjo tribe. Built over eight years using teak and ulin ironwood without a single nail, she is more than a vessel—she’s a floating legacy.
Newly relaunched under Singaporean ownership, Dunia Baru now blends heritage craftsmanship with a refined, earthy interior palette by designer Deirdre Renniers. Guests aboard this private yacht charter Indonesia are enveloped in understated luxury: Egyptian cotton sheets, Belgian throws, hand-knotted rugs, and curated bronze accents. Every detail whispers thoughtful intention.
The experience is entirely bespoke. With a full crew of 18, guests can explore the dramatic coral gardens of Raja Ampat, dive the wild drifts of Komodo National Park, or sail further to the remote beaches of Thailand and Myanmar. Whether it’s snorkelling with manta rays or unwinding under starlit skies, each moment on this exclusive yacht charter Indonesia is tailored for immersion and serenity.
For those seeking an eco-conscious yacht charter that marries tradition with modern indulgence, Dunia Baru offers more than a voyage—it offers a story worth living.
