Tana Beru Pinisi Shipyard

Tana Beru Pinisi Shipyard is a traditional wooden boat-building centre located in Tana Beru village, Bonto Bahari District, Bulukumba Regency, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. It is renowned as the historic home of the Pinisi schooner, built by the Konjo people using centuries-old techniques without modern blueprints. Recognized by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage, the beachfront shipyard displays hulls in various stages of construction and remains an active cultural and economic hub.

Visitors can expect an open beachfront shipyard with large wooden Pinisi hulls in various stages of construction lined along the sand. Skilled Konjo craftsmen work with hand tools using traditional techniques passed down through generations. The setting is coastal and working-industrial rather than a formal museum, with sawdust, timber stacks, and scaffolding. Visitors can walk among the vessels, observe construction, take photographs, and purchase miniature Pinisi souvenirs from nearby stalls.
