OUR STORY
A Legacy Where Tradition Meets Innovation
Beneath her striking silhouette lies an engineering marvel paired with an American boat building team, Dunia Baru was meticulously crafted to meet the international super yacht standards, blending time-honored artistry with cutting-edge marine technology. Locally sourced teak and ironwood frame her elegant design, while the expert engineering team ensured she was built to BKI Classification and ABYC regulations (American Yacht building Council), setting a new benchmark in safety, reliability, and guest comfort.
Timeless Craftsmanship Meets Modern Mastery
Her name, Dunia Baru, meaning ‘New World’ in Indonesian, reflects a spirit of discovery—an invitation to explore the untouched beauty of Indonesia aboard a luxury yacht charter unlike any other. Designed to honor the nation’s seafaring heritage, she embodies the soul of a classic Indonesian wooden vessel, seamlessly enhanced with the refinement of a superyacht charter in Indonesia. Every plank and sail pays homage to the masterful craftsmanship of the Konjo Boat Builders of South Sulawesi, whose centuries-old techniques have been preserved in her flawless construction, an inspiring Phinisi.
A Masterpiece Born from Tradition
To bring this vision to life, American naval architect Michael Kasten led the design while the revered Konjo Boat Builders, descendants of Ara’s master shipwrights, crafted the vessel by eye, guided by inherited skill rather than blueprints. As premium timber grew scarce, they journeyed deep into Kalimantan’s rainforests to source the finest teak and ironwood.
The result: a yacht that honours tradition while setting a new benchmark for luxury sailing in Indonesia.
Dunia baru: An Icon of Maritime Heritage
The result is nothing short of extraordinary — a traditional luxury yacht in Indonesia that embodies the past while setting a new standard for the future of luxury sailing yacht charters in Indonesia.
