Sailed in Jakarta and Labuan Bajo since 2020. 300+ trips, 3,000 happy guests.
The Augustine Phinisi was born from love, tradition, and a passion for sharing Indonesia’s beauty in the most personal way possible. Designed by our family and brought to life through the craftsmanship of master boat builders in Tanahberu, this classic wooden vessel is named in honor of Grandma Augustine — a symbol of warmth and togetherness that inspires every voyage we create.
When you sail with us, you’re not just a guest. You’re part of the Augustine family.
