Phinisi Owner (phinisiowner.com) is an independent editorial guide. We are not a shipyard, yacht broker, charter operator, bank, or licensed financial, legal, or maritime adviser. We do not sell vessels and we do not take deposits.
Information, not advice
Everything we publish is general editorial information for research purposes. It is not investment, legal, tax, or survey advice, never recommends a specific transaction, and never guarantees build timelines, charter occupancy, or returns. Build costs, regulations, and market conditions change; verify every material figure with shipyards, licensed Indonesian counsel, marine surveyors, and classification specialists before committing money.
Editorial independence
Our analysis is made on the merits of evidence. No shipyard, broker, listing owner, or management company can pay to change a conclusion, a cost bracket, or a risk warning we publish. Estimates are flagged as estimates; single-source figures are flagged as such.
How we are funded
Reading this site is free. If you ask us for an introduction and later proceed with one of the vetted independent partners we introduce (yards, surveyors, counsel, or charter-management teams), that partner may pay us a referral fee at no cost to you. Partners price their services independently, and referral arrangements never influence what we publish.
Risk statement
Commissioning, buying, and operating a wooden vessel involves substantial risk: yard delays, cost overruns, latent hull defects, regulatory change, and charter-market softness. Past charter performance is not an indicator of future results. Budget conservatively and survey thoroughly.
Accuracy
Figures such as build-cost brackets, crew salaries, fees, and regulations are date-sensitive. We update content regularly and date our trackers; tell us about an error and we will correct it.
