Crafted for life at sea.
Designed for space, not capacity.
At 38 metres LOA, WiSu welcomes only 10 guests across five cabins, leaving an exceptional amount of space for living, diving and simply enjoying the journey.
50 m² Dive Deck · 42 m² Indoor Salon & Dining · 65 m² Upper-Deck Lounge & Sundeck · Dedicated Bow Relaxation Area
WiSu Liveaboard is a hand-crafted wooden Phinisi, proudly built in Ara, South Sulawesi, by master builder Mr. Kiri and his CV Irfan Pratama.
Following centuries of Bugis-Makassarese boatbuilding tradition, WiSu combines timeless craftsmanship with modern comfort. With an overall length of 38 meters, a 30-meter deck length and a 7-meter beam, she carries the strength of Ironwood (Kayu Besi) in her hull and the elegance of Teak (Kayu Jati) throughout her superstructure and decks.
Designed for small-group exploration, WiSu was created as a calm and intimate space to experience Indonesia slowly — through diving, snorkeling, conversation and life at sea.
Crafted through tradition.
Every part of WiSu reflects the knowledge and patience of traditional Indonesian boatbuilding.
From hand-shaped wooden structures to carefully assembled teak interiors, the vessel was built using techniques passed down through generations of craftsmen in Sulawesi.
Rather than industrial perfection, WiSu embraces authenticity — natural textures, quiet details and the feeling of a vessel made by human hands.
Designed around life at sea.
With only 10 guests on board, WiSu offers room to find your own quiet corner — whether in your cabin, on the bow or on the upper deck.
Indoor and open-air dining, generous lounges and shaded outdoor spaces create different settings for meals, conversations and time between dives.
A dedicated 50 m² dive deck, two tenders and small dive groups of no more than four guests per guide make exploring Indonesia's remote waters effortless.
Room to slow down.
With only 10 guests on board, life on WiSu is intentionally unhurried. There is space to come together over dinner, find a quiet corner between dives, watch the islands pass from the upper deck or simply enjoy being at sea.
WiSu was designed around a simple idea: fewer guests, more space. Across her indoor and open-air living areas, every space has been created for relaxed, personal expedition travel.

More than a liveaboard.
WiSu was never intended to feel like a floating hotel.
She was created as a home on the sea — a place where people slow down, reconnect with nature and experience Indonesia through warmth, simplicity and human connection.
