History Of Phinisi

Phinisi boats are traditional Indonesian sailing vessels, known for their iconic sails and graceful lines. Originating from the Bugis and Makassar peoples of South Sulawesi, these boats have been used for centuries for fishing and transportation in the archipelago’s waters.

Phinisi boats were traditionally built entirely by hand, using locally sourced materials such as ironwood, teak, and other hardwoods. Their unique design, with two towering masts and triangular sails, allows them to navigate the often-challenging waters of the region with ease.

Today, Phinisi boats remain an important part of Indonesia’s cultural heritage, and many traditional boat builders still use the same techniques and materials passed down from their ancestors. With their stunning design and rich history, Phinisi boats have become a symbol of Indonesia’s seafaring traditions and are highly sought after by both locals and tourists alike.
