A 45-metre (148 ft) private phinisi launched in 2023, with three cabins that open onto
their own terraces and a crew of seventeen for Komodo, Raja Ampat and the Spice Islands.
Celestia came out of a Bulukumba yard in 2023 as a 45-metre (148 ft) phinisi for
private weeks, not cabin sailings. Naval architect Tresno Seery drew the hull.
Deirdre Renniers did the interiors: teak, rattan, pale blues, and seven ensuite
cabins that sleep fourteen without stacking everyone on one deck.
Two owner staterooms sit on the upper deck, each 30 square metres (322 sq ft), with
a king bed and a rear terrace. The master takes the aft of the main deck at 39
square metres (419 sq ft), with its own terrace and a patch of sun deck. Four
deluxe cabins live below, two queens and two twins, 14 square metres (150 sq ft)
each. Seventeen crew run helm, galley, dive locker and the daily massage hour.
She works Komodo from Labuan Bajo in the dry months, Raja Ampat from Sorong when
the wind turns, and Spice Island crossings when you have the nights. A nitrox
compressor, two tenders, kayaks, boards, a wakeboard and waterskis live on the
transom. Meals are chef-led. Starlink is aboard. Private charter is the only
booking.

Questions
Celestia FAQ
What kind of ship is Celestia?
A 45-metre (148 ft) ironwood and teak phinisi, built in Bulukumba in 2023.
Seven ensuite cabins, fourteen guests, seventeen crew. Private charter only.
She is a Komodo boat in the dry season and a Raja Ampat boat when the wind
turns, with Spice Island weeks when the nights allow.
How are the cabins split?
Two owner kings with terraces on the upper deck, one master king with a
terrace on the main deck, and four smaller cabins below (two queens, two
twins). Twelve is the more generous number if you want a cabin left as a
dressing room or nanny space.
Is diving included?
Nitrox and a full set of dive kit are aboard for certified guests. Courses
and extra tanks are arranged separately. Snorkel gear, kayaks and boards
come with the charter.
Who is Celestia for?
Two or three families who want matching terraces rather than one oversized
suite, or a dive-minded group that still wants a proper salon. She is a poor
match for a cabin-charter crowd. Those groups are not how we sell her.
