Amara: Pacific High’s New 48-Meter Phinisi Yacht, Now in Build at Bira

Jun 30, 2026

Amara is starting to look like a yacht.

Her hull framing is up at the yard in Bira, Sulawesi – the second milestone in her build, and the first where you can actually see her shape. At 48 meters, she will be the largest yacht in the Pacific High fleet.

A second build for Alur Biru Pariwisata

Amara is being built for PT Alur Biru Pariwisata (ABP), the tourism and hospitality arm of Alur Biru Maritim, a joint venture between Sinarmas LDA Maritime and ST International. She is the second vessel ABP has entrusted to Pacific High. The first was Sanya, a 36-meter Phinisi delivered in 2025, now chartering in Raja Ampat and Komodo.

Amara will sleep 8 guests across four cabins. Three sit on the main deck, each with its own direct access to the sea. A fourth is below deck.

Built the Phinisi way, in Sulawesi

Her name comes from the Sanskrit word for eternal. It felt right for a boat being built the way Phinisi have always been built – by hand, at our yard in Bira, South Sulawesi. The same yard that has shaped every Pacific High hull for over 25 years, across a 5,000 square meter site with an 80-meter seafront capable of handling up to four simultaneous builds.
