WHOLE-BOAT HIRE · KOMODO

Group & Event Charters

The whole vessel, your own guest list, and an itinerary nobody else votes on.

In short

Once a party reaches roughly eight people, taking the whole boat usually costs less per head than buying the same cabins on an open trip — and it stops being a shared holiday.

  • Whole-boat rates start at USD 1,550 a night for a Deluxe vessel; VIP runs USD 1,800–9,850.
  • Capacity is the constraint: most phinisi here sleep between eight and sixteen.
  • Privacy is the reason companies book these — the deck is a meeting room nobody can overhear.
  • Peak-season vessels for a specific week are held months in advance.

What fills the days

On a Group Charter

The same park, at your own pace, with nobody else on the schedule.

Ranger-led dragon treks

On Komodo or Rinca, timed to reach the trail before the day fleet.

Diving & snorkelling

Manta Point and the reefs, planned on the tide rather than the timetable.

Onboard catering

A dedicated cook aboard. Menus agreed before you sail, dietary needs included.

Nights on deck

Stargazing well away from any light pollution, which is most of why people remember the trip.
