Pacific High is honored to announce its second consecutive win in the Phinisi Builder & Charter category at the Yacht Style Awards 2026. The recognition celebrates excellence in traditional Phinisi boat building and luxury private yacht charters across the Indonesian Archipelago, and confirms the consistency of the standards we hold across both our shipyard in Bira and our fleet at sea.
The Yacht Style Awards 2026: a night of yachting excellence in Singapore
On April 22, 2026, the Constellation Ballroom at ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove in Singapore hosted the gala dinner of the Yacht Style Awards 2026, on the eve of the Singapore Yachting Festival. The invitation-only evening brought together more than 300 VIPs, yacht owners, shipyards, brokers and major personalities of the regional yachting industry.
Pacific High was represented by co-founder and director Yann Martinie de Maisonneuve and Chief Sales & Marketing Officer Clarice Jamain, who collected the trophy on behalf of the team. The category nominees this year were Pacific High, Persée, Silolona Sojourns and Yacht Sourcing, four of the most established names in Indonesian Phinisi.
Two years in a row: a recognition of consistency
Winning the Phinisi Builder & Charter title for two consecutive years, in 2025 and 2026, is a meaningful milestone for our team. Year-on-year recognition speaks to the consistency of our work, both in the way we build our yachts and in the way we operate them.
The Yacht Style Awards are judged on innovation, design, build quality, sustainability, owner and guest experience, and contribution to the extended Asia market. For a Phinisi builder and charter operator, that means every part of the journey is evaluated, from keel laying at our Bira shipyard to the daily guest experience on board across Komodo, Raja Ampat, the Banda Sea and beyond.
A reflection of our shipyard, our fleet and our crews
This award belongs as much to our carpenters in Bira, South Sulawesi, as it does to our captains, cruise directors, chefs, dive guides and crews on board Senja, Dewata, Nataraja and Sanya. It also reflects the trust of our guests, charter partners and agents around the world, who continue to choose Pacific High to discover Indonesia.
Our shipyard in Bira spans 5,000 square meters with an 80-meter seafront and can accommodate up to four new builds simultaneously, each up to 60 meters in length. The same hands that shape our hulls in the traditional way also build the standard that the Yacht Style jury rewarded for the second year running.
Thank you to the Yacht Style Awards
We extend our sincere thanks to Gael Burlot, CEO and publisher of Yacht Style magazine, and the entire team behind the Awards for this recognition. Congratulations also to our fellow nominees Persée, Silolona Sojourns and Yacht Sourcing, and to all the winners across the 2026 categories.
