This luxury Phinisi yacht combines comfort, adventure, and exclusive access to some of the archipelago’s most remote surf breaks, offering an unforgettable experience for surfers.


A Yacht Designed for Adventure and Comfort

Fenides Liveaboard is a beautifully constructed 31-meter Indonesian Phinisi, designed with both luxury and functionality in mind. Built with the finest local materials, the yacht spreads across three decks and features five spacious cabins, each with its own en-suite bathroom. The layout accommodates up to 11 guests, striking the perfect balance between intimacy and space.

The main deck houses a large saloon and a stunning outdoor dining area where guests can enjoy freshly prepared meals while taking in the endless ocean views. Every detail aboard Fenides reflects quality craftsmanship, from elegant wooden furniture to thoughtfully designed communal spaces, ensuring that downtime between surf sessions is as enjoyable as the waves themselves.


Exploring Remote Waves

Fenides Liveaboard operates across Eastern Indonesia, including regions like Sumba, Sumbawa, Rote, and Halmahera, giving surfers access to some of the most pristine and uncrowded waves in the world. Each itinerary is carefully crafted to match swell and weather conditions, with expert guides helping surfers locate the best breaks.

Guests can expect a mix of reef and point breaks suitable for a range of abilities, from intermediate to advanced. Imagine arriving at a secluded reef where the water is crystal clear, the waves perfectly peeling, and the only footprints in the sand are your own. Fenides allows surfers to explore these hidden gems in comfort, without the logistics or stress of organizing transport or accommodation on remote islands.


Onboard Life

Life on Fenides is as much about comfort and indulgence as it is about the waves. Breakfasts, lunches, and dinners are prepared fresh onboard, featuring a mix of local Indonesian flavors and international cuisine. Outdoor dining allows you to enjoy meals under the sun or stars, while communal spaces provide areas to relax, read, or socialize after surf sessions.

For those who love adventure beyond surfing, Fenides also offers amazing opportunities to snorkel, or simply explore the remote islands and reefs along the way. The crew ensures that every aspect of your stay is seamless, from surfboard storage and board prep to coordinating transfers and daily itineraries.
