A Komodo Luxury brand since 2015

About Komodo Yacht Tour

Not a marketplace and not a reseller. One company owns the fleet, employs the crew, and answers the phone when weather moves a departure.

In short

Komodo Yacht Tour is the yacht-tour brand of Komodo Luxury, the operator that has run trips from Labuan Bajo since 2015, focused exclusively on yacht trips, liveaboard voyages and private charters inside Komodo National Park.

  • One company means one standard of vessel, one standard of crew training, one accountable booking channel.
  • There is no middleman between your enquiry and the boat you board.
  • Nine owned vessels plus vetted partner vessels, maintained and crewed in-house.
  • Every guest pays the official Komodo National Park fee, approximately USD 40–50 for international visitors and USD 20–25 for Indonesian visitors, which supports conservation and ranger services.

What we actually operate

Yacht trips — day tours and short escapes covering Padar Island, Pink Beach, Komodo Island, Manta Point and Taka Makassar.

Liveaboard trips — overnight itineraries where you sleep aboard inside the national park. The 3D2N share trip is the best seller, on a published departure schedule.

Private yacht charter — the entire vessel, your itinerary, your pace. The usual choice for families, honeymoons, groups, and dive- or photography-focused voyages.

Behind all three sits a fleet of nine owned vessels plus vetted partner vessels, including Ayvara, Malca and the flagship Komodo Signature. Maintenance schedules, safety equipment and crew rosters are controlled in-house rather than outsourced trip by trip.

Standards

Safety, and what we hold ourselves to

Komodo National Park is remote. That is a logistics fact before it is a marketing line.

Equipment on every vessel

Life jackets for every guest and crew member, life rafts, radio communication and first-aid equipment, checked on a schedule rather than on request.

Licensed captains

Professionals with years in the specific currents and anchorages of this park — which is a different skill from sailing generally.

Crew trained in-house

To one standard, covering navigation, guest safety briefings, snorkelling supervision and ranger-guided trekking protocol on Komodo and Rinca.

Inside park regulation

Itineraries follow national park rules on distance from wildlife and use of mooring buoys. The park fee every guest pays goes to conservation and rangers.

Itemised before you pay

Park fees, inclusions and exclusions are set out in writing before any deposit. There are no line items that appear later.

Official channels only

We take bookings through komodoluxury.com, WhatsApp on +62 811-3823-875, and sales@komodoluxury.com. A price carrying our name from anywhere else is not ours.

Working with us

How a trip comes together

The same four steps whichever format you book.

  1. You tell us the shape of it

    Dates, group size, and what you want the trip to feel like. "Not sure yet" is a normal starting point.

  2. We check the whole fleet

    One calendar across every vessel, and an honest recommendation — including when the cheaper option is the better one.

  3. 50% confirms it

    Written confirmation naming the vessel, the route and the inclusions before any money moves.

  4. Balance at 30 days, then sail

    The balance falls due 30 days before departure. A pre-trip briefing with packing notes and meeting points follows.

The dry season from April to November has the calmest seas and best visibility, and is when most departures run.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Komodo Yacht Tour the same company as Komodo Luxury?
Yes. Komodo Yacht Tour is the yacht-tour brand operated under Komodo Luxury, which has run yacht trips, liveaboard trips and charters in Komodo National Park since 2015. Same fleet, same crews, same operation.
Where do the reviews live?
On Google and TripAdvisor under the Komodo Luxury profile, not on this website. Reviews collected and displayed only by the seller are easy to filter or fabricate; those two platforms are ones where we cannot delete criticism.
How do I know a quote is really from you?
We take bookings only through komodoluxury.com, WhatsApp on +62 811-3823-875 and sales@komodoluxury.com. If a price or itinerary carrying our name came from anywhere else, it is not ours — check with us before paying anything.
What happens to the park entrance fee?
IDR 700,000 per person, set by the Komodo National Park authority and paid at the park. It funds conservation and ranger services, and every visitor pays it regardless of operator.
