About VELA
Vela is a 50m custom-built Phinisi yacht. Vela was launched in July 2022 and combines traditional Indonesian aesthetics with modern style.
Vela’s interior design is unlike that of any other Phinisi on the market. It is fresh, bright, and airy, and much more contemporary than other yachts offered for charter. Vela’s design celebrates Indonesian craftsmanship, making extensive use of local materials and pairing it with high-end, superyacht finesse. Throughout the interior, contemporary Indonesian artwork is featured, which has been curated in collaboration with leading Indonesian galleries.
The owners of Vela have selected fixtures and accessories from some of the most highly-regarded names in international luxury. From the most obvious guest-facing accessories to the more discreet fittings, everything aboard is of the highest standard. There are fabrics from Dedar Milano, Rubelli, and Hermès, reading lamps by Contardi Italia, brass door handles made in Italy by Olivari, bathroom fittings by Axor, and silverware produced by Cutipol in Portugal.
Solid teak furniture produced by local artisans using teak from sustainably managed sources features throughout the yacht. In further consideration of the delicate cruising environment, reef-safe bath and body products made with natural ingredients are offered aboard.
There is accommodation for 12 adult guests and two children in six beautifully appointed cabins. Vela is one of the very few Phinisi yachts to feature two master cabins above deck – one is located on the bridge deck and benefits from a private terrace, while the other is on the main deck. Each cabin is equipped with a Samsung TV, offering a wide range of movies on demand, as well as Bluetooth speakers from Sonance and Dali.
Vela has a fantastic selection of water toys, including two Yamaha jet skis, water skis, wakeboards, stand-up paddleboards, surfboards, kayaks and various towables. She is ideal for scuba divers wishing to explore beneath the waves and is equipped with 17 dive kits, including BCDs, regulators, computers and cylinders in various sizes. There are two Bauer air compressors on board and a Nitrox generator.
Vela’s crew is extremely experienced, with qualified scuba diving instructors and a team with unparalleled local knowledge.
