An Ultra-Luxury Phinisi Crafted for Intimacy and Timeless Journeys
48 m | 6 Cabins | 12 Guests | Launching 2026
Overview
Launching in 2026, Otium is a 48-meter luxury phinisi yacht that blends timeless Indonesian craftsmanship with modern sophistication. Built in Bira, South Sulawesi, and envisioned by Marc Christoffel, Otium redefines private luxury charters across Komodo, Alor, the Spice Islands, and Raja Ampat.
Each of her six suites is a private sanctuary of light, texture, and space — from the expansive Master Suite with a private balcony to the Queen Suite and four Deluxe Staterooms, all designed by Fresa Amalia in collaboration with Walter Wagner (architect of award-winning Nihi Sumba). Natural wood, soft tones, and refined finishes create an ambiance of understated luxury and homelike warmth.
