Indonesia: The Next Global Yachting Destination
Indonesia boasts some of the most spectacular waters in the world, with over 17,000 islands spread across the equator. From the untouched beauty of the Raja Ampat Islands and the exotic charm of Labuan Bajo to the globally renowned Bali and Lombok, Indonesia has everything needed to become a world-class yachting destination.
However, despite its immense potential, Indonesia’s yachting industry is still in its early stages compared to luxury yachting hotspots like Monaco, the French Riviera, or the Maldives. Infrastructure, market education, and accessibility remain key challenges. This is where Yacht Sourcing steps in to drive a major transformation.
2025: A Year of Major Transformation for Yacht Sourcing
With an aggressive expansion strategy, 2025 marks the year Yacht Sourcing strengthens its position as the leader in the luxury yachting industry in Indonesia and Southeast Asia. A series of strategic initiatives have been planned to build a more inclusive, exclusive, and globally recognized maritime ecosystem.
Expanding to the Maldives: Unlocking a Gateway to the Global Market
The first major step for Yacht Sourcing in 2025 is its expansion into the Maldives, one of the world’s most exclusive yachting destinations. With its crystal-clear waters and stunning atolls, the Maldives has long been a favorite among global superyacht owners.
Now, Yacht Sourcing Maldives is set to offer luxury yacht charters, yacht management services, and private yachting experiences tailored to the highest standards. This move is not just about business expansion—it firmly places Indonesia on the map of the global yachting industry.
“We aim to provide yachting experiences that go beyond just sailing the seas. It’s about exploration, luxury, and an unparalleled lifestyle,” said Boumedienne Senous, Founder & CEO of Yacht Sourcing.
Partnering with Black Stone Yacht Club to Build a Yachting Hub in Bali
As part of its strategy to develop a sustainable yachting ecosystem in Indonesia, Yacht Sourcing has partnered with Black Stone Yacht Club at Benoa Harbour, Bali.
With an integrated operational office at the heart of Bali’s maritime scene, Yacht Sourcing will provide a seamless yachting experience—from yacht sales and chartering to bespoke services for yacht owners. This collaboration aims to strengthen Indonesia’s yachting infrastructure, attract more international yachts, and enhance the experience of luxury travelers exploring Indonesia’s stunning waters.
“Indonesia is one of the world’s best yachting destinations, but we still need to build a more structured system to compete with other global hotspots. With this Bali hub, we aim to ensure that Indonesia’s yachting experience rivals those of the French Riviera or the Caribbean,” said Boumedienne.
Showcasing Indonesia on the Global Yachting Stage at Dubai Boat Show 2025
Further solidifying Indonesia’s presence in the global yachting industry, Yacht Sourcing will participate in the Dubai International Boat Show 2025, one of the most prestigious yachting events in the world.
This event is not just a luxury yacht exhibition but an exclusive gathering of industry leaders, investors, and world-class yacht collectors. Against the backdrop of Dubai’s ultra-luxurious maritime scene, Yacht Sourcing will introduce Gulf Craft’s Majesty and Nomad Yachts to the Indonesian market.
These two prestigious yacht brands symbolize luxury and high performance, featuring designs crafted specifically for exploring tropical waters while ensuring unmatched comfort.
“The Dubai Boat Show is more than just an exhibition—it’s where global yachting trends are set. We want to bring more international attention to Indonesia as a yachting destination worthy of being on par with the French Riviera, the Caribbean, and the Maldives,” said Boumedienne.
With Yacht Sourcing’s presence in Dubai, Indonesia is gaining greater exposure as an emerging yachting destination, opening up new opportunities for international yacht owners to explore the breathtaking maritime landscapes of the Indonesian archipelago.
