Phinisi traditional boat building, led by Yann de Martinie de Maisonneuve, a French-trained marine carpenter, is an extraordinary craft that showcased vessels like Zirbad, Nataraja, Senja, Dewata, and a 42m yacht. Yann’s dedication to preserving the art of Phinisi construction has resulted in these exquisite yachts that blend timeless craftsmanship with modern comforts, a true testament to the rich heritage of boat building.
