In short

Every phinisi is priced against your own drawings, timber choices and equipment list, over a 10 to 18 month programme. There is no list price, because no two specifications are alike.

  • Send a specification and you get a written breakdown, not a single number.
  • Size, timber grade, interior standard and systems drive almost all the spread.
  • Charter revenue figures are what operators here report, not a projection we make.

What a Vessel Costs to Build

Four classes covering what we are usually asked to build. Each is quoted against your drawings, so the class tells you the scope, not the figure.

Liveaboard, 20 to 30m

Ask for price

New build

Working charter and dive liveaboard. Cabins, dive deck and crew quarters to commercial standard.

Most asked for

Luxury phinisi, 35m+

Ask for price

New build

Full luxury specification, bespoke interior, systems for extended cruising.

Superyacht class

Ask for price

New build

Largest hulls, highest fit-out standard, longest programme.

Used hull, 20 to 30m

Ask for price

Before refit

Existing vessel prior to refit. Budget the refit separately after survey.

Each class is quoted individually. Your figure follows your drawings and equipment list, so it is written after we have seen them.

Torque Tour Rates

Five tiers, quoted per person per departure. Separate from vessel construction.

These five tiers were previously published under four different sets of names across the site. One naming is used here and should be used everywhere. Rates are quoted per departure, because they move with season, group size and itinerary.

Effects are relative, from our own build history. Nothing here substitutes for a written costing against your drawings.

A Delivered Vessel, Specified

A 2024 build gives a sense of what these numbers buy: 38 metres overall, 8 metre beam, 450 hp main propulsion.

Seven tonnes of fuel and sixteen tonnes of fresh water, which is what allows extended range across eastern Indonesia rather than day trips from port.

Every figure on this page describes vessels of that class. Yours will differ where your specification differs.
