Corporate & Legal Compliance

We are a legally registered and fully compliant corporate entity in the Republic of Indonesia. This provides a foundation of accountability and professionalism.

Legal Status: We operate as a Perseroan Terbatas (PT), fully registered with the Ministry of Law and Human Rights.

Employee Welfare (BPJS): All our Indonesian employees are registered for and covered by BPJS Ketenagakerjaan (social security, including work accident and life insurance) and BPJS Kesehatan (national health insurance), as mandated by law.

Maritime Safety & Vessel Certification

Our vessels are more than just luxurious; they are maintained and operated to the most stringent safety standards.

Indonesian Seaworthiness Certification: Every yacht in our fleet holds a valid Surat Keterangan Kelaiklautan Kapal (Certificate of Seaworthiness) issued by the Direktorat Jenderal Perhubungan Laut (DGST), subject to regular inspections.
SOLAS & STCW Compliance: Our vessels are equipped with safety gear that meets or exceeds SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) conventions, including EPIRB, SART, satellite phones, life rafts, and a comprehensive inventory of medical supplies. Our captains and key crew members are STCW (Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers) certified.
