Buy side · Bali & Indonesia

Yachts for sale in Bali, curated not listed.

Three markets at once: private motor and sailing yachts around Benoa, phinisi working the Komodo corridor, and charter vessels whose owners are quietly open to offers. We shortlist only what we can verify.

In short

Bali Yacht Broker is a curated buy-side desk, not a classifieds board: we shortlist vessels we can verify, then manage the purchase through survey, negotiation, escrow and handover.

  • Budgets run from about USD 80,000 for a sound used sailing yacht to USD 5M and above for a new-build phinisi.
  • Most vessels worth buying never reach a public portal — they change hands through operators, captains and shipyards.
  • Every mandate runs with an independent surveyor and an Indonesian maritime lawyer.

What we curate

Four categories on the desk

Motor yachts

Flybridge cruisers, sport yachts and expedition hulls already in Indonesian waters — no import to arrange.

Sailing yachts

Monohulls and catamarans, mostly ex-cruising boats whose owners have finished their Indonesia chapter.

Phinisi

Sulawesi-built wooden schooners, from six-guest boats to superyacht-grade new builds.

Charter-ready vessels

Sold with licences, crew relationships and forward bookings a new owner can keep running.

Inside the group

Why the group structure matters to a buyer

Bali Yacht Broker is one desk inside Juara Holding Group, whose marine operator has been running vessels in the Komodo corridor since 2015.

  • Deal flow. Operators hear which owners are ready to sell long before a listing goes public.
  • Operating truth. A hull that has chartered in these waters can be cross-checked with captains who have seen it work.
  • Life after purchase. An operator can quote real management terms for the specific boat before you buy it.

2026 guidance

What each budget band buys

Orientation, not valuation. Condition, licensing and charter history move every number here.

Entry

USD 80–250K

Used sailing yachts and small motor cruisers; older compact phinisi needing refit before commercial use.

Mid

USD 250–800K

Well-kept mid-size motor yachts; phinisi with tourism licences and a working charter history.

Established

USD 0.8–2.5M

Charter phinisi with strong bookings and recent refit; late-model motor yachts of 60 feet and above.

New build

USD 2.5–5M+

Luxury phinisi to owner specification, or large motor yachts positioned for the premium Komodo trade.

Bands reflect real 2026 asking and closing levels in Indonesian waters, not quotations.

Working with the desk

Five stages, brief to handover

Each stage ends in something written down.

  1. Brief

    Intended use, budget band, category and timeline. A call usually follows within a working day.

  2. Shortlist

    Three to six vessels with honest notes on condition, paperwork and negotiating position.

  3. Inspect

    Viewings in Bali or Labuan Bajo, then an independent surveyor and sea trial.

  4. Transact

    Negotiation, sale and purchase agreement, escrowed payment against milestones, registration transfer.

  5. Handover

    Crew, mooring, insurance, and an introduction to a charter operator if you want one.

For a vessel already in Indonesian waters with clean paperwork, six to twelve weeks from shortlist to handover is a reasonable expectation. New-build phinisi commissions run one to two years.

What a mandate covers — and what it does not

Verification

Ownership documents, flag status and outstanding liabilities checked before you inspect.

Escrow

Funds sit with an agreed independent holder and release only against documented milestones. We never hold them ourselves.

No fleet, no yard

We own no vessels, build none, and promise no charter income. The fee is tied to a clean transaction, not to talking a boat up.

Where a vessel we present is connected to a group company, we disclose that before you inspect it.

Before you brief us

Questions buyers ask first

Start with a shortlist, not a listing site.

Tell us what you want the boat to do, and we will tell you honestly what your budget buys right now — including, sometimes, that you should wait for a better vessel.
