    Sanctuary luxury phinisi yacht sailing in Indonesia

    Sanctuary

    Eighteen crew for eighteen guests, and every junior suite still gets a king bed rather than twins

    Cruising Areas

    Komodo

    Sanctuary operates private Komodo charters as part of a wider Indonesian program. Exact route, embarkation and inclusions vary by season.

    Raja Ampat

    Sanctuary operates Raja Ampat during its eastern Indonesia season, combining private diving and snorkeling with lagoons, quiet anchorages, paddling and short hikes to island viewpoints. The itinerary is tailored rather than fixed, so the exact route depends on conditions and guest priorities.

    Banda Sea

    Sanctuary’s published seasonal schedule includes Banda together with Raja Ampat. Banda voyages add longer-range cruising and historic Spice Islands context to the yacht’s diving, snorkeling and island-exploration program, with routing arranged individually for each charter.

    Who This Suits

    Sanctuary is a strong fit for larger private groups that want nine ensuite cabins and space for up to 18 guests without losing a high crew-to-guest ratio. Its two-night minimum makes it more flexible than many large luxury phinisi, while diving, snorkeling, paddling and guided shore activities allow mixed-interest families and groups to travel together comfortably.

    About This Vessel

    Sanctuary is a 48-metre custom-built phinisi completed in 2023 in Bulukumba, South Sulawesi. Nine ensuite cabins accommodate up to 18 guests with a crew of 18 for private voyages across Komodo, Flores, Sumba, Bali, Banda and Raja Ampat.

The Presidential Suite has a king bed, convertible sofa, walk-in dresser, private jacuzzi and 270-degree sea views. Executive Suites also sleep up to three, while Junior Suites are designed for two guests each; the vessel-wide limit remains 18 guests.

The published package includes crew, meals, snacks, non-alcoholic refreshments, laundry, satellite and Wi-Fi, water-sports and diving equipment for certified divers, planned excursions and guides, park and conservation fees, fuel and airport transfers.

    Vessel entry varies Assessed on the engine capacity of the boat, so it is normally settled by the operator rather than by passengers.
    • Booking runs through SIORA, the park's own system, and is handled by a licensed operator before arrival. There is no ticket window at the gate.
    • A daily cap of 1,000 visitors applies across the park, split between Komodo, Rinca and Padar and the dive sites around them.
    • Entry runs in sessions rather than all day, which is why a boat's arrival time is set by the park and not by the crew.
    • A drone permit is separate, expensive, and has to be requested well in advance.
