CELESTIA

Celestia is a 45-metre (148ft) custom-built phinisi yacht, handcrafted by the legendary Bulukumba boatbuilders using centuries-old, UNESCO-recognised techniques and sustainably-sourced ironwood and teakwood. Launched in 2023, she sails the Indonesian archipelago — Raja Ampat, Komodo National Park, and the Spice Islands — offering a private, bespoke sailing experience across some of the most biodiverse waters on earth.

With 7 spacious staterooms for up to 14 guests and a crew of 17, Celestia blends traditional Indonesian craftsmanship with understated modern elegance, designed by Cape Town-based Deirdre Renniers with pieces sourced from Balinese artisans. Days are spent diving, snorkelling, island-hopping and hiking to hidden waterfalls; evenings unfold over chef-designed multi-course dinners and stargazing from the bowsprit lounge.
