Style
Traditional phinisi vs modern expedition yacht
Traditional phinisi
Hand-built teak yachts with sails, warm interiors and slower pacing. The classic Komodo experience — most photographed, most recognisable.
Modern expedition yacht
Newer builds with hotel-style finishes, stabilised interiors, faster cruising speed and more consistent air-conditioning. Good for guests who prioritise comfort over character.
