The Phinisi Legacy
Nowhere else in the world will you witness the construction of magnificent timber yachts entirely by hand and tradition. The village of Tana Beru is the beating heart of Indonesian maritime history.
Master shipwrights lay massive ironwood keels without the use of written blueprints or modern machinery — relying entirely on ancestral knowledge passed down through generations.
On a curated tour, you will step into the shipyards, converse with the builders, and touch the very timber that will soon conquer the open seas.
