In short

The fleet spans four tiers — share-trip phinisi from USD 300 per person, standard private charters from USD 1,550 per night, the Ayvara and Malca deluxe class, and the ultra-luxury flagship Komodo Signature.

  • Every vessel is a licensed liveaboard sailing the same core route through the park.
  • What changes between tiers is cabin comfort, crew ratio, food and privacy — not the itinerary.
  • One calendar covers the whole fleet, so your dates are checked against every boat at once.
  • The Komodo National Park fee is approximately USD 40–50 per international visitor and USD 20–25 per Indonesian visitor.

Tiers

What each tier costs

Named vessels

The three boats guests ask for

Out of the full fleet, three come up by name again and again in reviews and enquiries.

Ayvara

A modern deluxe phinisi with air-conditioned en-suite cabins, a wide sundeck, and a crew-to-guest ratio that earns it "best boat we have stayed on" feedback. The pick for groups of 8–14 who want private-charter comfort without flagship pricing.

Malca

Classic Bugis phinisi lines with a contemporary interior. The fleet's most-requested honeymoon and small-family charter: fewer, larger cabins, an open-air dining deck, and a chef whose seafood barbecues recur in guest reviews.

Komodo Signature

The ultra-luxury flagship — suite-class cabins, dedicated service crew, curated dining, and itineraries built entirely around your group. Quoted individually; plan three to six months ahead for dry-season dates.

Partner vessels

Every other boat you can book through us

Each of these maintains its own public listing with deck plans and cabin photography. If an operator anywhere cannot show you a public listing for the exact boat you are booking, walk away — including from us.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many yachts are in the fleet?
Nine owned vessels plus vetted partner vessels, ranging from share-trip phinisi through the Ayvara and Malca class to the flagship Komodo Signature. Because they run under one operation, we can match your dates against the whole fleet rather than a single boat's calendar.
What is the cheapest way to sail with the fleet?
The 3D2N share trip, from USD 300 per person with a private cabin. It is also our best-selling format. Add approximately USD 40–50 per international visitor or USD 20–25 per Indonesian visitor for the Komodo National Park entrance fee to calculate the complete cost.
Can I book a specific named vessel?
Yes, subject to availability. Ayvara, Malca and Komodo Signature are requested by name most often and go furthest ahead in the dry season. Tell us the boat and the date and we will tell you honestly whether it is realistic.
What is the difference between owned and partner vessels?
Owned vessels are maintained by our own team to our own standard. Partner vessels are boats we have vetted and sell alongside them. Either way we are the operator you book with and the operator accountable to you.

Not sure which boat?

Tell us the group size, the dates and the budget. We will name the vessels actually free, say what each would cost, and tell you which one we would put you on — including when that is the cheaper one.
