Ultimate Indonesian Yachts has featured in:
Salila is a 58-metre expedition yacht offering private charters across Indonesia, sailing through Komodo, Raja Ampat and the Spice Islands.
Formerly operating as Salila, The Trans Luxury Yacht has been transformed under new ownership. Originally built as a commercial vessel and later transformed into a contemporary expedition yacht, she offers something distinct from the region’s traditional wooden phinisi. With ten ensuite cabins and generous indoor–outdoor living spaces, The Trans provides an ideal setting for large groups seeking comfort, capability and ease while exploring Indonesia’s remote island landscapes.

Onboard Experience
The Trans accommodates up to twenty guests in ten spacious air-conditioned suites. Two master cabins sit forward with king-size beds, writing desks, large viewing ports and ensuite bathrooms featuring bathtubs – rare among vessels of this style.
Eight additional cabins provide flexible arrangements for groups of all sizes: two semi-masters, two doubles and four twins. All feature ensuite bathrooms, televisions and thoughtful details that balance practicality with comfort.
Across all suites, contemporary interiors combine local woods, soft creams and natural stone, creating an atmosphere that is calm, inviting and understated – a comfortable retreat after days spent exploring Indonesia’s most remote marine regions.
Cabin Overview
Onboard Experience
The Trans features an expansive interior lounge and dining area designed for large groups. Warm woods, marble accents and soft furnishings create a contemporary space anchored by a sleek granite bar and long wooden dining tables. A separate library provides seating for quiet moments, complete with books, an iMac workstation and a projector for evening screenings.
Outdoors, a shaded lounge on the main deck offers relaxed seating with views of the passing islands. The upper deck features a wide sun deck with loungers, a wet bar and an open-air Jacuzzi; an inviting place to unwind after a day of snorkelling or exploring.
A dedicated swimming platform at the stern allows easy access to the water for swimming, kayaking or diving. Supported by an experienced crew, The Trans blends capability with comfort, offering a spacious, contemporary base for extended expeditions across Indonesia’s archipelago.

Explore Indonesia
Situated off the coast of West Papua, Raja Ampat is a chain of 1,500 jungle-clad islands with limestone cliffs, white sand beaches and luminous turquoise seas. Known as one of the most biodiverse marine regions on earth, its reefs host an extraordinary variety of coral and fish.
Days unfold between quiet bays, sweeping coral gardens and karst peaks that offer panoramic views across the archipelago. Even above the waterline, the landscapes feel wild, sculptural and untouched, with hidden coves and lagoons only accessible by tender.
Private yacht routes here often extend into neighbouring regions such as Maluku, Triton Bay and Cenderawasih, revealing remote anchorages, serene beaches and moments of deep stillness in one of Indonesia’s most remarkable frontiers.
Situated east of Bali and Sumbawa, Komodo National Park is a rugged chain of islands shaped by volcanic ridges, pink-sand beaches and clear, dramatic seas. Home to the famed Komodo dragon, this UNESCO-listed region offers landscapes that feel raw, ancient and untamed.
Above water, rolling hills, savannah grasslands and quiet inlets create a shifting palette of ochres and greens. Beneath the surface, nutrient-rich currents support manta rays, coral gardens and thriving marine life, making Komodo one of Indonesia’s most varied cruising grounds.
Private yacht journeys here unfold between secluded bays, sunset ridges and remote dive sites, often combining nearby regions such as Sumbawa or Flores. Anchorages are peaceful, the scenery cinematic, and the sense of remoteness unmistakable.
The Spice Islands, known historically as the Moluccas, sit at the crossroads of ancient trade routes and early maritime exploration. Once the world’s only source of nutmeg and cloves, these islands retain a rich cultural legacy shaped by sultans, traders and centuries of seafaring.
The landscapes are gentle and green, with quiet villages, preserved forts and volcanic silhouettes rising over sheltered bays. Coral reefs ring many of the smaller isles, offering warm, clear waters that feel far from the bustle of modern Indonesia.
Yacht itineraries through Maluku often include Banda, Kei or Seram, unfolding between cinnamon-coloured coastlines, historic anchorages and reefs alive with colour. It is a region where history, and natural beauty meet in a way that feels timeless.
West Papua stretches along the far eastern edge of Indonesia, a land of immense cultural and ecological diversity. Its coastline weaves through jungle-clad peninsulas, river deltas and remote island chains, offering a sense of scale and wildness found in few other places.
Inland, dense forests shelter ancient traditions, distinctive art forms and communities whose lives remain closely tied to their environment. Along the coast, limestone cliffs, mangroves and hidden bays create a dramatic setting for exploration by sea.
Private yacht journeys often extend through Cenderawasih Bay, Triton Bay or the remote Bird’s Head Peninsula, revealing whale sharks, karst islands and quiet waters ideal for long, unbroken days on the ocean. West Papua remains one of Indonesia’s most stirring and untouched frontiers.
Guest Testimonials
I have experienced a good number of dive boats and I can honestly say Fenides was the best. The crew were really excellent. Dom ran the ship and the whole cruise with great skill and good humour.
Dominic, London
We consider ourselves fairly demanding and I can tell you there is nothing these guys can do to improve the experience... We are determined to get back on board in the future, probably next in Komodo but will surely be back to Raja Ampat.
Valerie, London
Fenides really is a stunning boat with everything you could hope for. Dom and his team are absolutely first class. Delicious food, great diving and other excursions, and beautifully organised.
Eric, London
The crew was polite, energetic & went beyond to be sure our stay was just what we wanted. The food was amazing (I’ve been a chef on yachts & restaurants). Service terrific! Our dive masters found creatures that were tiny, diverse & amazing. We couldn’t ask for more!"

"Beauty is found in the understated elegance and impeccable attention to detail. Every day was unique! But above all, this trip wouldn’t have been as special without the crew. We are already planning our next voyage on Oracle to see them again.”
