SongLine yachts Customs Designs

Vessel in progession

Over the years SongLine Yachts has created several designs. Please keep in mind that each vessels interior can be modified to fit the new owners preference or total new design concepts can be developed for those looking for something special. Each of our traditional builders have their own unique hull shapes as well as a unique characters, which can become an important consideration when most projects span a period of 12-24 months to complete.

Embaku plan

I must admit that this aspect of the SongLine Yachts process is my favorite, our designs are planned "together" with our clients, however there are some of our past designs that have gained noteworthy popularity and are in some cases in revision 4 of the same concept. We do not want to mislead people by suggesting that we are responsible for all the designs you presently see on the Traditional Pinisi market. As a matter of fact, we avoid project formulas that call for multi-story vessels, but prefer a single main deck superstructure or maximum of 1.5 split level designs. Our justification of this preference centers around wind resistance, but I must admit, it is all based in a desire to achieve or retain some sense of esthetics in our end products.

Work in progress

Support Systems in our designs have grown considerably over the years and we have experience with many key system required by today's long distance and commercial cruising vessels. Water makers, inverter chargers, air conditioning systems, solar power systems, wench products, thruster installations and more can be be factored our proposed equipment lists.

The following designs are only provided as guideline and our Architectural Team is prepared to create new designs based on the potential new owners needs or requirements.

25 meters vessel design

This 25m design has been developed as a versatile model which can be a private vessel or to support a small commercial operation. The design has been planned to create a sleek low profile capable of comfortable long distance cruising. The cabin space below deck is max ed at 8 passengers, but alterations can be made to accommodate 6 passengers in larger cabins. The main deck is designed to provide massive lounge space and is based on an open galley concept. The stern section of this vessel is a little short, but it does provide comfortable after deck space for water sports with a well placed dive deck for easy boarding. Based on the needs of a four to five man crew, special accommodations have been planned below the stern deck with shower facilities for the crew. This space has been designed for other than Indonesian Crew as the original plan for this vessel called for operations in the med. Power options on a vessel of this size are numerous and this model can achieve speeds of 6-9 knots with a small under 200hp new or rebuilt diesel engine. Based on her planned usage, water makers, dive compressors and a complete list of navigation equipment is suggested. The targeted cost of a vessel of this size is around 350,000 USD in today's market, based on turn key condition.

25m Pinisi design


29 meters vessel design

This 29m design is a similar model to our popular 25m, but the cabin configuration has been adapted to service more of a commercial operation, with accommodations for 10 guests. This particular hull, is produced by another one of our local builders and while the stern of his hulls are a little high, the design is faster in the water than most. This vessel was powered with a rebuilt main engine and GENSET, which is a common option for many of our projects. Our carpenters designed a rather unique dive platform for this model to use the stern space effectively. When this hull was purchased from the local builder already completed and our design was adapted to the realities of the hull. The main deck saloon of this model is also geared towards a commercial presentation and the vessel presently operates in the Kingdom of Thailand.



34 meters vessel design

This 34m design is strictly for the Live aboard Dive Market, the main deck Saloon is designed to providing dining facilities for the boats 16 guests. The multi-level deck configuration of this boat, is about as high as we are prepared to go at which we call a split level one and a half deck design. As mentioned previously in the site, we are not prone to the popular triple decked Pinisi designs as we find them somewhat top heavy and very much susceptible to the heavy wind resistance. The mid-deck space of this design is allocated to a dive equipment room, showers are provided on the stern after-deck for that quick rinse after there dive. The upper bridge deck of this design attempts to further capitalize on guest cabins, with the creation of twin guest suites and an open deck balcony over the stern section of the vessel. Crew accommodations are important to this design as a vessel of this size, requires 10-12 men to operate her. We are very proud of this model and see great potentials for this design in markets throughout the Asian and Indian Ocean dive destinations.



42 meters global charter vessel

This 42m design is slated to be a very unique project. This project has been undertaken at the bequest of a major hotel group, to service a new 5 star hotel development in Malaysia. The objectives set by the owner is to create a special traditional interior design that will provide the hotels guests with facility in line with the standard of the property. The interior design concepts will come from the hotels own decorators and each cabin with boast 4x4m of pure luxury. We were first provided a concept of another popular cruising pinisi schooner as an example, however in order to maximize the useable space we opted to alter the traditional canoe stern to one that provides a more attractive after deck space. The massive area forward of the main deck lounge is another attempt to provide guests with plenty of space for sun and relaxation aboard this fine commercial design.

While most of our vessels are constructed in South Sulawesi, vessels of this size are constructed in Kalimantan, where the building process is quite different and launching is accomplished by floating the vessel to a river from an excavated construction site allowing water to flood the site when the project is ready to launch. The major negative point for projects constructed here is the isolated location requires a virtual expedition of some 8 hours from any airport, to get to.



38 meters PIRATE REPLICA

This 38m design has been developed as another hotel service facility. The Prirate Ship Replica, was requested by a major Caribbean Hotel Group to provide a sea side restaurant and lounge facility for there new hotel. The space allocations for this vessel provide dining facilities for 80 people below deck and a comfortable smoker room on the main deck's Captain's cabin for exclusive meetings or quite evenings for the guys. The fact that this vessel was constructed in Indonesia and was needed in the Caribbean, required the vessel to be able to sail half way around the world and to make promotional calls in ports along the way. The fact that this vessel was going to be making a major expedition, called for new main engine power which was provided by Daewoo/Dossen of Korea, major hydraulic upgrades and which the vessel was re-equipped with a square rig, she retailed her traditional Indonesian pinisi schooner rig, for the voyage.
