Indonesia: Charter’s Next Hot Spot?

The 173-foot Dunia Baru aims to bring international standards to the emerging market.

Indonesia has never been known as a hotbed of charter activity, but during the past few years, a handful of international-quality yachts have cruised through the region. Their owners have seen a fantastic future. From Bali to Raja Ampat, Indonesia offers unspoiled scenery and interesting culture — two things that, when mixed with a top-quality charter yacht, tend to equal a great amount of client interest and charter bookings.

The newest offering in the region is the 173-foot_ Dunia Baru_, a yacht built in traditional, local Phinisi style by an American owner who is outfitting her to serious standards. Few brokers have gotten a chance to get onboard as of this writing, but the team at Northrop and Johnson Worldwide Yacht Charters in Rhode Island put together this video to offer a look at what this intriguing new charter option has to offer.
