The minimum budget is approximately USD 15,000–20,000 for a basic fibreglass speedboat. A traditional 20m Phinisi starts from USD 100,000. Custom luxury yachts and commercial vessels are priced per project.
Transparent Pricing Guide 2025
Full transparency on what it costs to build your vessel in Indonesia — from speedboats to superyachts. No hidden fees, no surprises.
Price Ranges by Vessel Type
All prices are in USD and represent the full vessel cost including materials, labour, project management, sea trials, and BKI classification survey. Prices vary based on specification level, interior finish, and systems complexity.
5m – 12m · Build time: 3–6 months
20m – 50m · Build time: 12–18 months
12m – 30m · Build time: 8–16 months
15m – 60m · Build time: 12–24 months
20m – 45m · Build time: 12–20 months
12m – 30m · Build time: 12–18 months
Prices are indicative and based on typical specification levels. Final pricing depends on your exact vessel design, materials, systems, and finish. Contact us for a detailed quotation tailored to your project.
Why Build in Indonesia
| Build Location | 20m Phinisi / Yacht | 35m Luxury Yacht | Cost vs Indonesia |
|---|---|---|---|
| Indonesia (BCI) ▼ Best Value | $100,000 – $250,000 | $300,000 – $600,000 | Baseline |
| Australia | $350,000 – $700,000 | $800,000 – $1.8M | +180–280% |
| Netherlands / EU | $400,000 – $900,000 | $1.0M – $2.5M | +250–400% |
| New Zealand | $320,000 – $650,000 | $750,000 – $1.6M | +160–240% |
| Turkey | $200,000 – $450,000 | $500,000 – $1.2M | +80–180% |
Comparative pricing is approximate and may vary. Indonesian pricing includes BCI project management and BKI classification. All figures in USD.
What Affects the Price
Traditional wood is labour-intensive but often cheaper than steel for smaller vessels. Steel and aluminum cost more in material but are faster to fabricate for larger builds.
Cost scales non-linearly with length. A 30m vessel costs significantly more than double a 15m vessel due to structural complexity, systems, and interior volume.
Interior fit-out can range from basic functional cabins to superyacht-quality bespoke joinery. This is often the single largest variable in final project cost.
Engine brand (Yanmar, Volvo, Caterpillar, MTU) and horsepower significantly affect cost. Generator sets, bow thrusters, and stabilisers add cost.
BKI classification is standard and included. International classification (Lloyd's, RINA, DNV) adds cost due to additional survey fees and compliance requirements.
Rush builds for smaller vessels are possible at premium rates. Longer timelines allow better material sourcing and cost optimisation for larger projects.
Questions & Answers

No. BCI provides fully itemised quotations covering all materials, labour, project management, sea trials, and BKI classification fees. Any changes during construction are managed through a transparent change order process.
Yes. BCI vessels are built to BKI and international classification standards. Our craftsmen use the same materials and engineering principles as European yards, at 40–60% lower cost due to labour rate differences.
Payments are milestone-based: typically 30% on contract, then staged payments at keel laying, hull completion, systems installation, and final delivery. This protects your investment at every stage.
