Phinisi operators
A select fleet of luxury Phinisi
Our Raja Ampat trips revolve around bespoke Phinisi charters. We work with a select fleet of well-maintained luxury vessels cruising Misool, Piaynemo and — when access is open — Wayag.
Operators are chosen on four grounds:
- Build quality and maritime safety, verified by Ditjen Perhubungan Laut
- Professional crew, often STCW-certified
- Gourmet cuisine and personal service
- Sustainable, responsible marine tourism
