The name El Aleph is inspired by both the Arabic and Hebrew alphabets, representing the first letter, a symbol of the beginning and infinity. In the mystical world, Aleph is associated with the names of God and powerful amulets. Additionally, El Aleph is a reference to a magical story by the renowned Argentine author, Jorge Luis Borges, where the universe can be seen in a single, spherical moment – past, present, and future.
El Aleph embodies the spirit of the ancient Buganese Phinisi fleets that sailed across the Spice Islands for centuries. The yacht symbolizes the vast seas and endless skies of the Indonesian archipelago, blending the rich Eastern maritime tradition with modern luxury.
Built in Sulawesi, Indonesia, El Aleph is a luxury owner’s yacht that combines traditional Phinisi design with 21st-century technology. The vessel is handcrafted with 100-year-old teak and ironwood, a testament to the craftsmanship of Bali’s finest cabinetmakers. Over 200,000 man-hours were spent on the final fit-out, ensuring that no detail was overlooked.
With exquisite tropical hardwood finishes and a design that reflects the beauty and grandeur of the Indonesian archipelago, El Aleph offers an exclusive opportunity to explore the world’s most breathtaking destinations, from Indonesia to Thailand, Burma, and the Andaman Islands. Enjoy the luxury and privacy of a cruise far from crowded marinas and tourist beaches.
