Fenides Liveaboard

Fenides Liveaboard is a 41-metre luxury Phinisi, designed by architect Michael Schnadhorst and hand-built by the legendary Konjo boat builders of Ara, South Sulawesi, using ironwood and teak construction. The vessel accommodates up to 11 guests across five beautifully appointed en-suite cabins – one 20sqm master suite, two double cabins, and two twin cabins – all with full air conditioning and world-class in-cabin media systems. On deck, guests enjoy two sundecks, a dedicated camera room, a Bose Marine sound system, indoor and al-fresco dining, and a well-stocked bar. Powered by twin Yanmar engines and equipped with Garmin navigation, Fenides is as capable as she is comfortable.

Indonesia sits at the top of every surfer’s bucket list, and Fenides Liveaboard takes you further than the crowds. The charter accesses secret and undisclosed surf locations across Eastern Indonesia, where powerful breaks pound the shores of hundreds of barely-charted islands. Routes are available in North Maluku, Halhamera, Sumba and Raja Ampat.

These are world-class waves in pristine, uncrowded conditions – experienced from the comfort of a luxury vessel that repositions with the swell. Whether you’re chasing hollow reef breaks or long open walls, Fenides puts you in the right place at the right time.

Guests are accommodated across five en-suite cabins: a spacious 20sqm master suite on the upper deck, two double cabins, and two twin cabins — each finished with the finest linen and furnishings. Beautifully designed bathrooms, full air conditioning, and high-end in-cabin TV and media systems ensure every night aboard is as restful as the days are exhilarating.

The intimate maximum capacity of 11 guests makes Fenides ideal for private group charters or small groups seeking a premium, uncrowded experience.

Dining on Fenides is an experience in itself. The vessel’s skilled chef serves fine Asian fusion cuisine, with meals enjoyed al-fresco on deck or, on special occasions, on the white-sand shores of remote castaway beaches – complete with fine wines and champagne on ice. Fresh snacks and drinks are available throughout the day, keeping guests fuelled from dawn dives through to sunset surfs.
