Silolona

Discover Silolona — Premier Luxury Phinisi Charter from Labuan Bajo

Silolona is a name that resonates deeply within the world of luxury phinisi sailing — she is one of the original vessels that first demonstrated to the world that traditional Indonesian boatbuilding could be elevated to rival the finest superyachts. At 50 meters, this majestic phinisi schooner was built under the visionary guidance of a passionate American-Indonesian owner who spent years working alongside master craftsmen in Sulawesi to create a vessel that would honor Bugis maritime traditions while meeting the exacting standards of international luxury travel.
