PHINISI & MOTOR YACHTS · LABUAN BAJO

Komodo Yacht Charters

Wake up already inside the park, dive the outer sites at slack water, and leave before anyone else arrives.

In short

A charter is bought for position: sleeping inside the park means the good sites happen at the right tide instead of after a two-hour transit from Labuan Bajo.

  • Shared-cabin open trips run USD 300–850 per person for a 3D2N itinerary, or from USD 300 on a weekday departure.
  • Whole-boat charters start at USD 1,550 a night for a Deluxe vessel and USD 3,800 for VVIP phinisi.
  • Phinisi are the traditional wooden vessels; motor yachts trade deck space for speed.
  • Two nights afloat covers Padar, the dragons and Manta Point without a rushed day.
