A spacious, stable yacht of steel

The Kudanil is the same length as many traditional Indonesian Phinisi, yet we offer the highest space-to-guest ratio of any private yacht in Indonesia. With a steel hull and structure, she’s considerably more stable, nearly impervious to rocking in rougher seas caused by wind, waves, and weather.

Cabin

Our eight spacious, above-deck cabins accommodate up to 16 guests in quiet comfort. Each features floor-to-ceiling windows, en-suite bathrooms, and private balconies — all identical, so everyone enjoys the same space and stunning views.

Dining

The top deck is the heart of Kudanil—where days wind down over sea views and shared meals. Our chef uses fresh ingredients from nearby islands to craft regional dishes, served with warmth and best enjoyed barefoot as the sun sets.

Guest Areas

Kudanil was built for exploration — but also for retreat. With over 1,000 square meters of guest space across multiple decks, there’s always room to find your rhythm. Lounge in the sun, slip away to a quiet corner with a book, or retreat to your suite and watch the sea roll by.

Activities

Every day on Kudanil offers a new horizon and a new way to explore. Dive untouched reefs, paddle through mangroves, hike island trails, or unwind with a sunset swim—the choice is yours. Our crew tailors each experience to your pace, whether you're after adventure or ease.

A family affair

For us, family is more than an idea, it includes our multi-generational owners, every crew member, and every guest who steps on board. Sharing OUR Indonesia with you isn’t just a job, it’s our passion. Each of us serves from a love of adventure and a love for you, our guests. This unique hospitality goes beyond any job description and often ends in heartfelt hugs, sometimes even goodbye tears between crew and guests. Our family.

An experienced crew

More than just family, our crew puts your safety first. We hire only the most seasoned professionals. Our captain has worked with our owners for nearly 30 years, our hospitality team hails from top hotel brands, and our guides bring deep adventure experience with all the right certifications and licenses.

Personalized itineraries for every sailing

While most other boats have set itineraries, we’re completely flexible based on your interests, passions and desires. We always travel to well-known destinations like Komodo Island and Spice Islands. But where we’re different is that we let the weather, waves, and how you’re feeling drive changes as we go. After all, we’re on water — a place that knows no boundaries. And that means we discover places full of adventure like visiting a village which only sees tourists a couple times a year, swimming through an ancient cave with torches to guide the way, and having sunset cocktails on a beach most other boats have never found.

Charting the
Ultimate Surf Experience

Last month, the KUDANIL crew is deep in the Mentawais, Telos, and Banyak islands, fine-tuning a surf itinerary that blends world-class waves with a sense of discovery. These island chains are globally renowned for their surf—but rather than simply ticking off the famous breaks, we’re crafting a journey shaped by intention, local knowledge, and the ever-changing conditions of Indonesia’s wave-rich coast.

Our approach isn’t about going break to break along a set route. It’s about designing an itinerary that balances iconic spots with lesser-known gems. With KUDANIL as our moving base, we have the freedom to adapt to swell and wind in real time—surfing the right place, at the right moment, for the right crew.
This is more than a surf trip. It’s a custom experience built around ability, conditions, and the spirit of exploration.

Venturing Beyond Flores

East of Flores lies a lesser-traveled frontier. Scattered across the Lesser Sunda chain, these islands are raw, remote, and wildly beautiful. Few visitors come this far, which makes every anchorage feel like a discovery. The further you venture, the more the landscapes sharpen, the culture deepens, and the stillness takes hold.

While many itineraries stop at Komodo, heading east unlocks something far more profound. In Alor, Lembata, and the Pantar Strait, volcanic ridgelines rise steeply from the sea, villages carry centuries of tradition, and the reefs are as vibrant as they are untouched.

Refreshed, Refined & Ready

In June, KUDANIL began her scheduled ABS Special Survey—a comprehensive inspection where every system was reviewed, tested, and tuned to perfection. The hull was repainted, generators fully overhauled, and mechanical systems reassessed to ensure she continues to perform at the highest level.

We also added two sleek new e-foils to the toy collection—keeping things fresh, fun, and just a little faster.
KUDANIL isn’t being reinvented—she’s simply being kept at her best, inside and out.

How Capella Ubud and Kudanil Explorer Are Redefining Travel Across Land and Sea

With Kudanil Explorer, you go deeper into the region: trekking wild trails, anchoring off hidden bays, and diving with manta rays far from the usual routes.
