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.

    Great value liveaboard for solo travelers

    Joined the open trip as a solo traveler and made friends for life. The shared cabin was basic but comfortable, food was plentiful home-style cooking, and the route covered Kelor, Rinca, Padar, Pink Beach and Manta Point. Bring earplugs for the generator.
