The Yacht
Fusing Indonesia’s authentic boat-building heritage with a modern-day luxury lifestyle, Aliikai was meticulously crafted and refitted in 2020 by more than a dozen carpenters in the small village of Bulukumba in South Sulawesi.
The restoration of Aliikai focuses on providing expert-guided luxurious excursions around Indonesia’s stunning islands. Aliikai boasts seven spacious cabins over three decks, an intimate lounge & dining room, a spacious sky deck and an alfresco area, all designed to emphasize space, seclusion, and ultimate comfort.

Aliikai boasts seven cabins spread across three decks, each with its own unique features. With breathtaking views of the open sea and surrounding islands, there are two master suites located at the stern of Aliikai, both of which featurea large private terrace, and two king-sized bed cabins with a sea view on the upper deck. These cabins offer options to split king-sized beds into two single beds.

From The Owners
“Our passion for adventure has taken us to the far corners of the world. What we’ve discovered from planning our personal travels is that nothing brings a family or friends together like experiencing the wondrous world in comfort and ease. Traveling in a well thought out space with multiple activities and added amenities allows everyone to explore a new destination on their schedule while creating memories that will last a lifetime.
When designing Aliikai, we wanted to create a yacht that brings people together, not only the people you’re traveling with but with those living in the far reaches of Indonesia. Experiencing foreign cultures allows us to see the world from a new perspective and appreciation.
Aliikai is our gift to you.”
