Explore the magical islands you will visit aboard Jessie Phinisi. Each stop offers a unique adventure from pink beaches to dragon encounters.
KELOR ISLAND
Ancient sailors called it "The Guardian." Dutch colonials built watchtowers on its crown. Local legend says it's a giant sea turtle turned to stone. A 20-minute climb rewards you with 360° views of dragon territories. The coral gardens below hide patrolling sea turtles in crystal shallows.
MANJERITE
Every sunset, tens of thousands of flying foxes launch from mangroves, creating a black river across orange skies. Ancient sea nomads believed these bats carried souls to the afterlife. Watch from your deck at 17:30. The sky will erupt. You'll forget to breathe.
PADAR ISLAND
Three crescent bays—turquoise, cobalt, jade—curve around dragon-spine ridges. Legend says a dragon princess died here protecting her brothers. Her body became the ridgeline. Her tears became three seas. The 30-minute climb is ruthless, but every explorer says: "I can die now."
PINK BEACH
One of only seven pink beaches on Earth. Microscopic red coral creates a rose-gold blush. Sailors once feared it was cursed by dragon blood. The reef drops from knee-deep to 50 meters—turtles, reef sharks, and octopi patrol waters so clear you'll think you're dreaming.
KOMODO ISLAND
Ground zero. The throne. Komodo dragons—largest lizards on Earth, unchanged for 4 million years. They sprint 20 km/h, kill with venom-laced bites. Trek with armed rangers. Watch them sun like kings. Feel evolution stare back. This isn't a zoo. It's their Kingdom
TAKA MAKASSAR
A sandbar that emerges at low tide, then disappears beneath waves. Sea nomads called it "Ghost Island"—a resting place for ocean spirits. Stand in the middle of the ocean with ankle-deep water. Snorkel where the island vanishes. Your private Maldives, but only for 2 hours.
MANTA POINT
A submerged pinnacle where currents collide, creating a cleaning station for manta rays with 7-meter wingspans. Divers call them "Royal Stingrays"—reincarnated ocean kings. The taboo: look, never touch. Watch them barrel-roll beneath you. Swimming with mantas IS your bucket list.
GILI LAWA
Twin islands—Lawa Darat and Lawa Laut—frame the golden highway between sky and sea. Ancient traders navigated by these peaks. At sunrise, watch the world ignite from savannah ridges. At sunset, the sky bleeds into three shades of fire. The 30-minute trek is steep, but the 360° view makes kings jealous.
SLABA ISLAND
Slaba rises like a fortress from deep blue—a volcanic dome crowned with savannah where white-bellied sea eagles hunt. Bajo fishermen call it "Pulau Rajawali" (Eagle Island), believing the birds are guardians of hidden treasures below. Dive the walls where currents deliver big fish, sharks, and swirling barracuda. Above: eagles. Below: an underwater avalanche of life.
SEBAYUR ISLAND
Sebayur guards one of Komodo's best-kept secrets: untouched coral gardens teeming with life. While others chase dragons, divers chase legends here—pygmy seahorses, ghost pipefishes, and macro critters hiding in soft coral forests. The bay is a natural aquarium. The hillside trek offers sunrise views without the Padar crowds.
KANAWA ISLAND
While crowds chase Pink Beach, explorers slip to Kanawa—pristine coral reefs, zero crowds. Fishermen once avoided it, believing the Sea Goddess protected these waters. The reef here is 80% live coral. Turtles nest on beaches. Blacktip sharks patrol shallows. This is the Komodo nobody talks about.
SABOLO ISLAND (RANGKO CAVE)
Hidden in Sabolo's limestone cliffs lies Rangko Cave—a saltwater cavern illuminated by a ceiling skylight. Sunbeams pierce the darkness, turning water neon blue. Local legend says bathing here grants courage to face dragons. Swim through the entrance tunnel. Surface inside the cathedral. Float in liquid sapphire while light dances on ancient rock.
BIDADARI ISLAND
Bidadari" means angel in Indonesian. One glance explains why. Powdery white sand. Turquoise shallows. Zero crowds. Fishermen say angels rest here between monsoons, leaving footprints in the sand that waves erase by dawn. Snorkel the fringing reef where baby blacktips patrol. This is your castaway fantasy—pristine, peaceful, perfect.

Having sailed Southeast Asia for years, few vessels marry design and function like the Jessie Phinisi. Launched in 2023, every detail feels intentional—from the matte-black rigging to the hand-thrown ceramics at meals. I joined for a post-wedding unwind, and the crew honored the occasion with a private dinner on Padar Island, silhouetted against the setting sun. Hiking the island’s ridges offered Komodo’s most iconic panorama. The master suite’s forward terrace was ideal for late-night stargazing. Minor note: the air-con hums slightly at night, but the sea breeze often made it unnecessary. The onboard masseuse, trained in Balinese techniques, worked miracles after diving at Manta Point—where dozens of gentle giants circled below. This isn’t just a yacht; it’s a floating atelier of experience.

Took my father, 82, on the Jessie Phinisi for his birthday—nervous about mobility, but the crew handled it with grace. Wide decks, handrails, and a tender that docked flush made boarding seamless. We spent a calm afternoon at Long Beach, where he sat under an umbrella while the kids snorkelled the shallows. The highlight was Gili Lawa’s gentle slope—shallow reefs, vibrant but not overwhelming. Evenings were unhurried: aperitifs as the sails came down, then dinners under the mast light. The food struck a balance—refined but not fussy. My only note: a bit more cabin sound insulation would help light sleepers. But the sea’s rhythm eventually lulled everyone. This trip wasn’t just a gift. It was a memory forged.

كنت أبحث عن بابيمون خاص، بعيداً عن الصخب، واخترت Jessie Phinisi بناءً على تصميمها الراقي وعدد الضيوف المحدود. بفضل الله، التجربة تجاوزت التوقعات. التوقف في بادار آيلاند كان مثالياً – صعدنا إلى نقطة التصوير الرئيسية، وشاهدنا المنظر الأخّاذ. في المساء، كانت هناك عشاء خاص على الشاطئ في بيداديري بيتش، مع شموع وموسيقى هادئة. الماستر سويت مصمم بذكاء، مع دش مطري كبير ونوافذ تُطل على المحيط. الطاقم وفر خصوصية تامة، مع توفر خدمة على مدار الساعة عند الحاجة. وجبات الإفطار كانت مخصصة حسب الطلب – طلبت عصائر خضراء وتوست أفوكادو مع سمك مشوي، وكان الطبق مثالياً. الجانب الوحيد الذي أتمنى تحسينه هو تغطية الواي فاي – ضعيفة في بعض المناطق، لكن هذا ربما جزء من فكرة الابتعاد عن العالم. الإيطينرياري كان متقناً، مع توازن بين الطبيعة والراحة.

上個月與丈夫在 Jessie Phinisi 慶祝結婚十週年，選擇了四天三夜的私密 itinerary，避開旺季人潮，專注於深度體驗。船身 24 米，五間 cabin 刚好容納我們與好友兩對，私密性極佳。我們的 master suite 面海，清晨打開 sliding door，聽浪聲喝手沖咖啡，簡直 perfect。行程安排上特別喜歡 Gili Lawa 的浮潛，水下能見度超過 30 米，成群的 fusiliers 環繞，像置身於 aquarium 中。導覽員很懂節奏，不會 push 任何活動，讓我們自由選擇是否登 Rinca Island 看科摩多龍。我選擇留在船上做 yoga，船尾的 platform 成了我的 personal sanctuary。晚餐由主廚現場料理 grill 龍蝦與本地石斑，搭配 chilled Sancerre，氛圍剛剛好。唯一的小遺憾是 wifi signal 在外海偏弱，但這也剛好讓我們真正 disconnect。若未來再來，希望能多加一天停靠 Kanawa Island，聽說日落時的 drone shot 幾乎像明信片。整體而言，Jessie Phinisi 不是那種浮誇的 megayacht，而是懂得低調詮釋 luxury 的船，細節到位，服務有溫度，適合真正想沉澱的人。

I came for the diving, stayed for the stillness. Crystal Rock delivered—strong currents, grey reef sharks, Napoleon wrasse gliding through the blue. But it was the quiet moments on the Jessie Phinisi that anchored me: morning coffee on the foredeck as we sailed toward Gili Lawa, the smell of rain on hot teak. The yacht’s newness showed in every detail: the silent winches, the precision of the helm. With a group of four, we had room to breathe. One evening, we anchored off Castle Rock and just watched the stars emerge, no music, no talk. The only hiccup: the satellite signal dropped during a video call I had to take. But that’s the point, isn’t it? This place isn’t meant for connection to the world. It’s meant for connection to what matters.

妻の安定期に入ったのを機に、非日常のwellness retreatを探してJessie Phinisiを予約。Komodo Islandでのsoft trekkingで野生のコモドドラゴンを遠目で見学後、船上に戻ると即、専属セラピストによるaromatherapy massageが待っていました。5室しかないVIP構成だからか、crewの一人ひとりが名前を覚えていてくれ、朝食のmatcha bowlまで好みに合わせてくれるのが心地よかった。Gili Lawaの透明度は、まるでaquarium。シュノーケリング中も船が静かに待機し、冷たいcoconut waterを差し出してくれて、まさにfive-star outdoor experience。唯一、バスルームのgroutにわずかなカビが…とは言え、インドネシアの湿気を考えれば許容範囲。次のstopはRinca Islandに変更してくれたflexibleなitinerary対応には感謝です。

大学時代からの仲間4人で、Jessie Phinisiに乗り込みました。Komodo Islandでのtrackingは少しハードでしたが、ガイドの説明が丁寧で、自然のバランスについて深く学べた。船に戻ると、deckでカクテルを飲みながらのdrone shotはまさにinstagrammable。Kanawa Islandの砂州は、まるでMaldives。泳いだり、日向ぼっこしたり、自由なpaceで過ごせたのが嬉しかった。crewが気を利かせて、ビールを冷やしてデッキに用意してくれた瞬間、まさにperfectな贅沢を実感。ただ、若者向けにもう少しmusicの選択肢があると、夜の雰囲気がもっと盛り上がるかもしれません。でも、それがむしろ落ち着いたluxuryな空気を保てていたとも言える。朝食のnasi gorengは毎日違ったアレンジで、飽きずに楽しめた。次は家族で、kidsも連れて来たい。

Turning fifty on the Jessie Phinisi was understated in all the right ways. No fanfare, just exceptional moments: a solitary sunrise paddleboard from Sebayur Island, the water so still it mirrored the sky. The crew arranged a small toast on deck—local mangosteen juice and a handwritten note—nothing overdone. Snorkeling at Crystal Rock revealed more than I’d seen in years: barracuda schools, reef sharks gliding under coral ledges. My only quibble? The air-con in my cabin cycled a bit loudly at night. But that’s nitpicking. For a milestone, the yacht offered privacy without isolation, and the ability to move fluidly between solitude and company. The galley’s turmeric-dusted tuna tartare remains a highlight.

Pink Beach was more surreal than I imagined—not just the color, but the silence around it. The Jessie Phinisi dropped anchor in a bay so still, it looked painted. We spent the morning snorkeling the outer edge where the current brings in mantas—didn’t see one, but the possibility was thrilling. My sister and I took a dinghy to a hidden inlet near Long Beach, just to sit and read in the shade. The yacht’s layout allowed us to disappear when we wanted, then reappear for shared meals—grilled squid, tamarind ribs, always with a crisp local white. The cabins were serene, though I’d have liked blackout curtains. But waking to sunrise over the Banda Sea? Hard to complain. This wasn’t indulgence. It was restoration.
