You cannot see Komodo dragons from the yacht itself, but our charters include guided trekking excursions to Rinca Island and Komodo Island where you walk with certified park rangers to observe these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat. Sightings are virtually guaranteed on ranger-led treks. The yacht serves as your comfortable base, anchoring nearby while you explore on foot.

Can you dive from a Komodo charter yacht?

Yes, many of our yachts are equipped with dive stations, compressors, and PADI-standard equipment. We provide certified dive masters who know every dive site in Komodo intimately.

What is the difference between a liveaboard and a yacht charter in Komodo?

A liveaboard is typically a shared vessel where individual travelers book cabins alongside other guests, following a fixed itinerary focused primarily on diving. A private yacht charter gives you exclusive use of the entire vessel with a customized itinerary tailored to your interests. Private charters offer greater flexibility, privacy, and the ability to combine diverse activities. Learn more about our liveaboard options.

A Phinisi is a traditional Indonesian sailing vessel handcrafted by master shipbuilders from South Sulawesi using centuries-old techniques. Modern luxury Phinisi yachts retain their stunning wooden construction and classic sailing silhouette while incorporating contemporary amenities including air-conditioned cabins, en-suite bathrooms, sun decks, and gourmet galleys. They are the most iconic and sought-after vessel type for Komodo sailing. Explore our Phinisi fleet.
