Vela — 50m — Indonesia

A contemporary phinisi charter experience defined by sleek design, expansive comfort, and a deeper connection to the open sea.

Vela represents a more contemporary expression of Indonesian yacht charter—clean, elegant, and purpose-built for guests who want the heritage of a traditional phinisi interpreted through a more modern, design-conscious lens. Handcrafted in Sulawesi by traditional boatbuilders and launched in 2022, she balances Indonesian seafaring legacy with a sharper, more current onboard aesthetic that feels polished without losing its soul. Her atmosphere is spacious, refined, and quietly adventurous, with expansive decks, curated interiors, and a natural emphasis on movement, scenery, and time spent fully immersed in the sea. Cruising through Komodo National Park, Raja Ampat, and the Banda Sea, Vela is especially well suited to private groups seeking a charter that blends contemporary luxury, sailing spirit, diving access, and wellness-led relaxation into one beautifully composed experience.

The Vessel

Vela carries the unmistakable silhouette of a traditional phinisi, but her presentation feels noticeably more modern and distilled than many yachts in the category. She bridges heritage and innovation with unusual clarity, pairing handcrafted Indonesian construction with a cleaner, more contemporary design language that gives her a sleek and confident identity on the water. There is an elegance to the way she moves visually and spatially, with lines and proportions that feel built not just for comfort, but for a more elevated sense of journey. Rather than relying on ornament or excess, Vela communicates her quality through balance, detail, and restraint, making her especially appealing to guests who want a yacht that feels both rooted and forward-looking.

Interiors & Accommodations

Inside, Vela is defined by curated modern comfort and a strong sense of openness that supports longer voyages beautifully. Her six en-suite cabins accommodate up to 12 guests, including a panoramic master suite and a convertible family cabin that adds welcome versatility for different group compositions. The interior atmosphere feels refined and intentional, with teak craftsmanship grounding the design in Indonesian character while the broader aesthetic remains contemporary and uncluttered. Shared spaces, including the indoor salon and bar, are arranged to encourage both relaxation and easy social rhythm, giving the yacht a private-residence feel rather than a purely functional charter layout. The result is an onboard environment that feels calm, elegant, and highly livable across multi-day journeys.

Outdoor Living

Outdoor life aboard Vela is central to her identity. Expansive decks, shaded lounge areas, and open-plan dining spaces create a charter setting designed for long days outside, where guests can move naturally between relaxation, sea access, and scenic cruising. The exterior experience feels particularly strong for those who value horizon views, wind, and a greater sense of connection to the water itself. Rather than feeling static, the yacht’s outdoor rhythm is shaped by movement—sunrise departures, open-water passages, leisurely afternoons at anchor, and evenings that unfold slowly under the sky. For guests drawn to deck living as a core part of the charter experience, Vela delivers it with both polish and purpose.

Charter Experience

Vela is best suited to guests who want their charter to feel modern, immersive, and genuinely connected to the sea. She works especially well for private groups seeking a more active style of Indonesian cruising—one that blends diving, island discovery, wellness, and the pleasure of meaningful time underway rather than simply moving from stop to stop. Days onboard can unfold through scuba diving, snorkeling, kayaking, paddle-boarding, spa treatments, yoga, relaxed dining, and beautifully paced passages between remote anchorages and island landscapes. Her sailing-oriented character adds an extra dimension for guests who appreciate open-water movement and the atmosphere that comes with it. Across Komodo National Park, Raja Ampat, and the Banda Sea, Vela offers a charter rhythm built around exploration, comfort, and a contemporary sense of luxury that never feels disconnected from the natural world around it.
