Highlights
The Bugis is a 27-meter/89-foot-long phinisi designed for sustainability, comfort, safety, and fun of up to 8 guests. The dedicated crew of 8 ensures a remarkable guest-to-crew ratio. Guests can expect top-notch service as they explore Indonesia's top cruise destinations, from the famous Raja Ampat and Komodo Islands to the remote Flores Sea, Wakatobi National Park, and the lesser-known Banggai Archipelago. The Bugis offers an environmentally conscious experience with solar-powered electricity, sustainable practices, and minimal generator use when guests are onboard, providing a peaceful atmosphere, open social spaces with panoramic views, and luxurious teak wood finishes, making it the perfect vessel for a charter or an unforgettable adventure with friends and family.
The Bugis has spacious social areas featuring panoramic views. The main deck provides a 30m2 shaded dining area where guests can relax and enjoy meals. On the upper deck, a semi-covered 45m2 space with a bar and open area invites you to practice yoga, sunbathe, unwind, or even party at night. The Bugis serves fresh and locally sourced food. Instead of a fixed meal plan, the crew handpicks fresh ingredients from the nearest local markets daily, guaranteeing a delightful culinary fusion of Indonesian and Western dishes.

Totally enjoyable, lovely Boat, Nice small group of lovely people.
Lots of wonderful snorkeling and we got to walk with the Komodo Dragons. How cool is that. Only possible improvement would be hotter water for the showers and better water pressure.

If you want to snorkel Raja Ampat you have to book the Bugis. A truly memorable trip.
From the moment we were greeted on board the boat by the staff singing to us we felt right at home. The staff could not do enough for us. Our cruise director, Tommy was amazing. Our snorkelling trips were next level and his knowledge of his home environment was great. Our chef and executive chef cooked up a storm with so much yummy food and lots of smiles. The captain always made us feel at home and happy for you to pop into the wheel house to have a chat and provide information. Raja Ampat is a once in a life must do destination and it was incredible. In our older age we no longer do much diving and it was a true pleasure to find a liveaboard that catered for people who just wanted to snorkel. Our visits to villages and opportunity to take the kayaks out for a paddle was a huge bonus. I cannot recommend the Bugis enough. It was such good value for money. Thanks to the staff on board, this trip will go down as one of the best holidays I have ever done (and I’ve travelled a lot). Thanks

A magical and unforgettable cruise!
The snorkelling sessions have been carefully prepared and adapted to the weather conditions. We felt safe. We saw amazing fish, manta rays, sharks, turtles... each time accompanied by the very attentive zodiac. The chef prepared us ultra fresh, healthy and delicious sushi and dishes. Tommy, the cruise director, accompanied us with great delicacy and great know-how.
