Ikan Kayu is a traditional Indonesian phinisi-style yacht designed for private and shared cruising through some of Indonesia’s most scenic marine regions. The yacht focuses on tailored adventures, relaxed comfort, and nature-rich journeys across Komodo National Park, East Sumbawa, and nearby island destinations.
Ikan Kayu, meaning “wooden fish” in Indonesian, blends traditional phinisi character with a warm, easygoing cruising atmosphere. It is especially suited to families, friends, couples, and small groups looking for a private or shared voyage through beaches, reefs, island landscapes, and Komodo’s natural highlights.
Life onboard Ikan Kayu is designed around flexible days at sea: slow mornings, open-air relaxation, locally inspired meals, and time spent exploring the water or islands. Guests can enjoy a comfortable, intimate yacht setting with a focus on privacy, scenery, and a personalised pace.
Ikan Kayu is ideal for travellers who want more than one type of experience in a single journey. Activities may include island hopping, snorkeling, diving, watersports, family-friendly activities, fine dining, and special-occasion cruising. The style is relaxed but active, with room for both adventure and downtime.
Ikan Kayu cruises around Komodo National Park and East Sumbawa, with destination highlights such as Padar Island, Manta Point, Pink Beach, Komodo Island, Gili Lawa Darat, and Gili Banta. These regions are known for dramatic island scenery, coral reefs, manta ray encounters, beaches, hiking viewpoints, and Komodo dragon wildlife experiences.
