The Original Way to Sail the Seas of Indonesia!
Do you want to be part of Indonesia’s traditional sailing ways? Phinisis are traditional Indonesian sailing ships, which have been sailing the oceans of East Indonesia and beyond, since before the golden era of the spice trade during the 15th to 18th centuries.
Southeast Asia – The winds they are a changing
The predominant weather pattern in Southeast Asia is the monsoon winds. Broadly speaking, the winds are southwesterlies from May to October, and northeasterlies from November to April. This leads to different ‘high seasons’ for sailing in different countries in the region, and some yachts moving destinations to follow the high seasons.
Two of our favourite yachts have just finished their charter season in Phuket and Myanmar, and are heading southeast to more almost unexplored sailing areas in Borneo, the Philippines and Indonesia.
Sailing yacht ASIA is currently heading to the Komodo National Park of Indonesia, and will be available there from mid-July, then heading further east to Raja Ampat for October and November.
Phinisi RAJA is available initially in Borneo and Palawan, before heading east to Komodo and Raja Ampat. If you want exploration sailing and diving in the most biodiverse waters on earth, Raja Ampat is the place to go.
