Is the 1% taken from the sale price or your commission?

From our net commission, not the sale price. It costs the buyer and the seller nothing and comes out of what we earn — which is the only version of this that means anything.

Does the crew target apply to vessels I buy through you and then staff myself?

It is a target we advocate, not a condition we impose on your ownership. What we will do is introduce qualified Indonesian crew and show you what compliant employment looks like before you commit.

Do sustainability measures affect a vessel’s resale value?

A documented service history, a working watermaker and treated wastewater all read as maintenance discipline to the next buyer. It is not the reason to do it, but it does not cost you at resale.

Commitments

Commitments with numbers attached, or they are not commitments.

Every hull we sell will spend its life in the Coral Triangle. What follows is what we fund, what we ask of owners, and the two figures we are willing to be held to.

Ask the desk Our partners

Reef and clear water in Indonesian cruising grounds

Two numbers carry this page. One percent of our net commission on every sale goes to named conservation partners, and we aim for more than nine in ten crew positions on the yachts we broker to be filled by Indonesian nationals.

1% of net commission per sale — Coral Triangle Center and Komodo Survival Program.
Target of over 90% Indonesian crew, with BPJS Ketenagakerjaan coverage as the baseline, not a bonus.
Corporate travel offset through the Rimba Raya Biodiversity Reserve project in Kalimantan.

Environment

What we fund and what we ask

The funding is ours. The practices are what we put in front of every buyer and seller.

One percent, every sale

A percentage of net commission on each closing goes to the Coral Triangle Center in Bali and the Komodo Survival Program — direct funding in the same waters our clients cruise.

Wastewater and anchoring

We advise on advanced wastewater treatment, biodegradable cleaning products, and a firm no-anchor policy over sensitive coral. The last one costs nothing and matters most.

Off bottled water

High-capacity watermakers and filtration on new acquisitions. Bottled water on a cruising yacht becomes someone else’s waste problem in a village with no facility for it.

Carbon offsetting

Our own operations and travel are offset through Rimba Raya in Kalimantan, and we give owners the means to calculate and offset their own voyages.

The community half

Conservation without local livelihoods does not hold. These are the commitments on the other side of that.

Indonesian crew, properly covered

We advocate Indonesian crew on every vessel we broker, guide new owners on fair wage standards, and treat BPJS Ketenagakerjaan registration as a condition rather than an afterthought.

Provisioning locally

Partnerships with local suppliers — produce from Balinese farms, fish from village fishermen in the Flores Sea — so the money lands in the region rather than in a supply chain passing through it.

Keeping Phinisi building alive

Phinisi construction is UNESCO-recognised Intangible Cultural Heritage. A stable, high-value resale market is what keeps the shipwrights of Tanah Beru and Bira in work — professionalising that trade is the most direct thing a broker can do.

Community and waste initiatives near Labuan Bajo are supported through our parent company, Juara Holding Group.
