This desk brokers wooden vessels connected to the Ara-Bira yards: newly completed hulls, near-complete projects and vetted used phinisi, schooners and liveaboards. Availability changes constantly, so there is no static stock list – ask for the current one. Vessel-sale contracts are issued by PT Komodo Galangan Nusantara and brokerage by PT Komodo Bahari Nusantara.
New builds and near-complete hulls
- Completed yard boats ready for fit-out to your specification.
- Partially built hulls you can finish to your own brief – a faster route than starting a build from scratch.
Vetted used vessels
- Wooden phinisi and schooners with known history.
- Ex-charter dive liveaboards coming off Komodo and Raja Ampat routes.
How brokerage works
- Listing, viewing and negotiation handled through the desk.
- Escrow, contract and transfer structured to protect both sides.
- Delivery and post-sale support to your cruising ground.
Buyer due diligence
- Ownership history and any liens checked before you commit.
- An independent survey – referred, never in-house, so it stays impartial.
- Class, flag and documentation confirmed against the vessel.
Register interest
Tell the desk your budget, length and use; you can also be matched into the wider Indonesian market through the ecosystem’s vessel sales and acquisition desk. If a used hull is not what you want, commission a new build instead, size it against the hull families, and confirm the paperwork path on the design and registration page.

Frequently asked questions
Do you sell finished boats or only build them?
Both. Alongside new commissions the desk brokers finished and near-complete wooden vessels connected to the Ara-Bira yards, and vetted used phinisi and liveaboards.
Can a foreigner buy a wooden boat in Indonesia?
Yes, with the right structure. Ownership, flag and any commercial-operation licences are arranged case by case; the desk frames the legal path before you commit.
Should I get an independent survey before buying?
Yes. For used vessels a pre-purchase survey by an independent Indonesian marine surveyor is strongly advised – the desk refers you to a dedicated survey channel rather than surveying the boat it is selling.
How is payment protected?
Through a written sale contract and staged or escrowed payment tied to documentation and transfer, issued by PT Komodo Galangan Nusantara with brokerage by PT Komodo Bahari Nusantara.
