The Offer

One vessel. Two conversations.

To keep things simple and transparent: the sale on this page is for the boat itself. The charter business that currently operates her is a separate entity and can be discussed separately with its operator.

The Operation

Turnkey charter business
Separate entity · Direct with operator
  • Operated by PT Sama-Sama under experienced management
  • Resident operator/surf guide (Rudi), HR and booking management in place
  • Full crew of five
  • Charter bookings secured into early 2028
  • Established licensing, moorings, provisioning and routes
  • Buyers interested in the business as a going concern will be introduced to the operator directly
Why this matters: you are buying a proven, working asset — not a project. The vessel can be purchased outright at USD 300,000, and for buyers who want continuity, the existing operation (crew, bookings, management) is available as a separate, straightforward conversation.
USD 275,000
Insured Value

Independently valued by the insurer — at 92% of the asking price.

Jiwa Alam carries a full insurance valuation of USD 275,000, set after an independent evaluation by the insurance company — a notoriously rigorous and rarely granted process for vessels in Indonesia. Against an asking price of USD 300,000, the boat comes with third-party verification of nearly its entire value, and coverage runs until 2027. On top of that valuation, a further USD 25,000 is currently being invested in maintenance and refitting — work the buyer receives at handover, and the basis for the USD 300,000 price.

Questions

FAQ

Is the charter business included in the USD 300,000?
No. The USD 300,000 price is for the vessel only, and it is firm. The charter operation — PT Sama-Sama, the crew of five, the operator/guide, and bookings running into early 2028 — is a separate entity owned by the operator. Buyers interested in acquiring or continuing the business will be introduced to him directly for that conversation.
Is the price negotiable?
No — the vessel is priced to sell at USD 300,000 firm, and the math is simple: the insurance company has independently valued her at USD 275,000, and a further USD 25,000 is currently being invested in maintenance and refitting, which the buyer receives at handover. The price is the insurer's own valuation plus the refit investment — for a working, income-producing boat with a documented earning history.
What is the boat's condition and survey status?
Jiwa Alam is in excellent operational condition and remains in active charter service. She has been independently evaluated by her insurance company — a notably rigorous process in Indonesia — resulting in an insured value of USD 275,000, with full coverage until 2027. Inquire on WhatsApp for the full current survey. Buyers are also welcome to arrange their own survey as part of due diligence.
Can I see the full financials?
Yes. The summary above is a digest of the operator's 2025 management accounts. The complete monthly P&L, along with photos and full technical specifications, is included in the info pack — request it via WhatsApp or email below.
What happens to the existing bookings if I buy the boat?
Bookings are held by the operating company, which charters into early 2028. A buyer can either continue working with the existing operation (keeping that revenue stream and a fully trained crew) or take the vessel for their own use — both paths are open and can be structured during the sale conversation.
Where is the vessel located and can I view it?
She operates across the Indonesian archipelago on her charter calendar. At the moment she is undergoing a full maintenance and refit programme and can be viewed upon request in Bali throughout June and July, after which she will be back on the water doing trips. Viewings and sea trials can absolutely be arranged — contact us and we'll coordinate timing around the schedule.
How does the purchase process work for a foreign buyer?
Vessel ownership and registration in Indonesia involve some specifics (flag, licensing, and operating structure). The current setup is fully licensed and operating, and we can walk you through the options — including retaining the existing PT structure — with the relevant professionals during due diligence.
What's included with the boat?
The vessel as equipped for charter: three air-conditioned guest cabins, three bathrooms, two deckhouses, silent genset, tender, surfboard storage, crew quarters, and the rooftop deck — plus the results of the USD 25,000 maintenance and refit programme currently underway, which transfers with the boat at handover. A full inventory is provided in the info pack.
