Komodo Yacht Share Cabin

Book one cabin, not the whole yacht. A scheduled 3D2N sailing through the park with a small group — the complete liveaboard experience at a per-person price.

A private cabin aboard a Komodo liveaboard, opening onto a balcony over the water

In short

A Komodo share cabin trip sells a fixed 3D2N itinerary cabin by cabin until the yacht fills — typically 8 to 12 guests plus crew — with departures from Labuan Bajo, all meals and activities included, from USD 300 per person.

  • Your own cabin. Couples and solo travellers are never put in a bed with a stranger; solo guests in shared classes bunk same-gender.
  • Fixed circuit: Padar, Komodo Island, Pink Beach, Manta Point, Taka Makassar, and Kanawa or Kelor.
  • Our best-selling format — the single most-booked product across the fleet.
  • The park entrance fee is charged separately, at approximately USD 40–50 per international visitor and USD 20–25 per Indonesian visitor.

How it works

Booking a room, not a hotel

The simplest way to think about it: you are buying a cabin on a boat that is going anyway, rather than commissioning the boat.

Your own cabin

Private double, twin, or a shared bunk cabin depending on the class you book. Cabin linen and towels are provided.

A fixed itinerary

The route is set before you board. That is what keeps the price down — the trade is that you cannot reroute it.

A small group

Ten to twenty international travellers. Most guests describe the social side as one of the better parts of the format.

Full board

All meals, snacks, drinking water, coffee and tea for the whole sailing, cooked aboard.

Gear and tenders

Snorkelling equipment, tenders to get you ashore, and licensed park guides at every stop.

Fixed weekly dates

Departures run to a published schedule, which makes them easy to slot into a wider Indonesia itinerary.

Cabin classes

What each cabin class costs

Per person, in USD, excluding the park entrance fee. The difference between classes is the cabin, not the itinerary — every guest gets the same stops.

Lower deck & shared

$300–$450

per person, 3D2N

Bunk and lower-deck cabins, and private cabins taken at three or four guests. The cheapest way aboard — Malca's Quad Room works out at $330 per person at four.

Best seller

Deluxe & master cabins

$450–$680

per person, 3D2N

A private en-suite cabin for two. The class most guests book — Ayvara's Master Cabin with its private balcony sits at $570 per person.

Suites

$680–$850

per person, 3D2N

The largest cabins on the best-reviewed vessels — Catnazse's Master Room at $680, the Mansard suites at $850. Same itinerary, more room and better light.

Ranges, not quotations — the figure moves with the vessel, the season and how full the boat already is. Ask for your dates and we will price the actual cabin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I have to share a cabin with a stranger?
Only if you book a shared bunk class, and then only with same-gender guests. Deluxe and Superior classes are private cabins — couples and solo travellers booking those have the room to themselves.
How many people are on the boat?
Typically 8 to 12 guests plus crew, depending on the vessel. That is small enough that the crew learns everyone by name, which comes up repeatedly in reviews.
What is included in the price?
Your cabin, all meals and drinking water, snorkelling gear, tenders, licensed park guides, cabin linen and crew. Excluded: the IDR 700,000 park entrance fee, gratuities, travel insurance, and flights to Labuan Bajo.
How far ahead should I book?
For April–November dry-season dates, six to ten weeks. July and August are the busiest and the good cabins go first. Wet-season dates can often be booked much closer in.
What if the boat does not fill?
Scheduled departures sail. If a sailing genuinely cannot run we tell you as early as we know and move you to the next date or refund you — we do not quietly downgrade the vessel, which is the standard complaint about brokers in Labuan Bajo.
How do I pay?
A 50% deposit confirms the cabin, and the balance is due 30 days before departure. Be cautious of any operator asking for 100% upfront to a personal account.
