What a New Phinisi Really Costs: USD Build Bands by Size

A new phinisi runs, as planning bands in US dollars, from the low six figures for a small wooden boat to seven figures for a large dive liveaboard. The single biggest variable is not length — it is the interior specification. Here is how the number is built up.

Bands by size and grade

A boat-grade traditional hull of 20–28 m sits in the mid six figures; a yacht-grade phinisi of 28–35 m in the upper six to low seven figures; a 30–40 m charter liveaboard into seven figures. These are bands, not quotes — every hull is priced after specification.

Where the money goes

Labour dominates a hand-built hull, followed by timber, systems and rig. But the interior is the widest swing: a working boat and a luxury yacht of the same length diverge most below decks. Design, supervision, class and flag sit on top and are handled as separate lines.

Yard-direct is transparent by design

Buying yard-direct means a fixed, specification-based figure staged against work, with no listing premium. You can see exactly what the hull costs because there is no previous owner and no middle margin.
