Wooden yacht construction

Traditional Indonesian boat-building methods meet contemporary engineering — durable, beautiful and sustainable vessels for Komodo's waters.

Crafting legacies

Built plank by plank for Komodo

We pair traditional craftsmanship with modern nautical demands to build vessels that are visually striking, robust and reliable in the waters around Komodo Island.

Each yacht is designed to withstand the region's specific conditions while offering supreme comfort and functionality.

FAQ

Wooden yachts, explained

Why choose wooden construction for a yacht in Komodo?

Wood insulates naturally against heat and sound for a quieter, cooler interior, absorbs shock for a smoother ride, looks timeless, and is readily repaired with local materials and traditional techniques.

How do you keep wooden builds sustainable?

Certified sustainable timber, bio-based composites and leather alternatives, designs ready for hybrid retrofits or full electric conversion, and processes that minimise waste and maximise energy efficiency.

Which technologies go into your wooden vessels?

AI-powered navigation, IoT climate and security systems, VR entertainment and 3D-printed components — plus graphene-enhanced carbon fibre where appropriate in hybrid designs.
