Sailing This Boat

How do I book a place on this boat?

This phinisi runs as an open trip, so you book a cabin per person on a scheduled departure rather than chartering the whole boat by the day. Choose your dates and cabin class on the matching sailing package.

What’s the route?

She sails the Lombok–Labuan Bajo whale shark and Komodo open-trip itinerary — whale sharks off Sumbawa, Satonda’s crater lake, Manta Point, the Komodo dragons and Padar. Full details are on the open-trip packages.

Is a skipper included?

Always. Every departure sails with a certified captain and full crew. You will never be asked to operate the boat.

    Lovely sunset cruise around Labuan Bajo

    We celebrated a birthday on the open deck boat with about twenty friends. Bean bags, fairy lights and a BBQ while the sun went down behind Kelor island — exactly the relaxed evening we wanted. Music system could be a touch louder, but overall wonderful.
