Fact-based
Vessel specifications, local regulations and conservation details are checked against primary sources.
Editorial standards
Checked first,
published second.
How we research, fact-check, source and update what we publish about phinisi, charters and Komodo — and the conflicts of interest we refuse.
Accuracy & impartiality
Three rules
behind every page.
Readers plan real trips and real builds on what we publish, so the standard is set before the first draft.
Fact-check workflow
Five stages
before publishing.
Every piece passes the same stages before it goes live.
-
Research
Start from primary sources
-
Peer review
Accuracy, clarity, brand guidelines
-
Claim check

Editorial review
Quality, tone, grammar, consistency

Sourcing rules
Primary sources
come first.
We rank sources by how close they sit to the fact, and cite them so readers can check for themselves.
-
Primary sources
Official government websites, direct interviews and our own firsthand experience.
-
Reputable secondary sources
Peer-reviewed journals, established news organisations and recognised industry publications.
-
Reports and studies
Industry reports and academic studies on marine conservation and sustainable tourism in Indonesia.
-
Attribution
External sources are cited, so readers can verify information independently.
Where an official requirement cannot be confirmed, the page says so rather than guessing.

Major pages are scheduled for review every 6–12 months, and updated sooner when regulations, park policies or the industry change.
