Komodo Boats & Liveaboard Fleet 2026

Every hull on this page carries one of three tier badges, and each badge means something specific. Value covers the Lamborajo fleet: functional en-suite cabins, the same national-park circuit as everyone else, shared berths from $360 per person. Premium is the core of the calendar — fourteen air-conditioned phinisi between roughly $360 and $670 per person shared, or $5,800–11,300 per charter boat — where the real differences are cabin design, deck space and what comes out of the galley. Superyacht means Lasha, Prana by Atzaró and Lamima: crewed 55–65 m vessels from $27,000 + 11% VAT/night, handled by the concierge desk.The badge on each card doubles as a filter chip in the sticky bar above — one tap strips the page down to your band, and the counter tells you how many hulls survive the cut. A second tap on a budget chip narrows further; the two facets combine, so “Premium + Under $500 pp” is a real, bookable shortlist rather than marketing theatre.

There is no single best boat — there is a best boat for the way you travel. After thousands of guests since 2015, the desk’s matching logic collapses into four profiles: Best on a Budget A Lamborajo III berth from $360 or Malca Voyages’ triple from $330 per person sails the same Padar–Komodo–Pink Beach–Manta Point circuit as hulls at twice the price — what you give up is suite space, never the route. Every fixed date sits on the 2026 shared-trip schedule. Best for ComfortThree cabin types book out first every season: Neptune Cruise’s top-deck Mansard suites, Magika’s Master Ocean (bathtub, private balcony) and Catnazse’s Santalum kings. Expect $330 per person shared — or take the whole hull and keep the sundeck to your own party.Best for DiversNeptune Cruise brings the 40 m dive deck, Catnazse the crew that anchors close at Castle Rock and Manta Alley, and Magika sells dedicated 3D2N dive charters from $11,250. Start with the Komodo diving liveaboard guide, then tell us your logged dives so we match hull and tides. Families & Honeymoons Yumana’s 25-guest capacity absorbs three-generation trips; private-only Pinta (13 adults + 4 children) is the honeymoon-with-friends pick; Raffles Cruise gives couples a six-cabin hull with nobody else aboard. Compare full buyouts in the private charter guide or start from the honeymoon package.

Twelve of the eighteen boats sell shared cabins on a fixed weekly calendar — all 3D2N, boarding around 09:00 at Labuan Bajo Harbor, with 08:00–09:00 hotel or airport pick-up included on Malca Voyages, Ayvara and Catnazse. You buy a cabin, share the deck with 16–20 travelers, and pay per person from $330. The next blocks on the shared schedule: August 7–9, 14–16, 21–23, 28–30 · September 4–6, 11–13, 18–20, 25–27 · October 2–4, 9–11, 16–18, 23–25 and 30 Oct–1 Nov. Private charter flips the model: any boat, any date, your route from 2D1N up to 7D6N. Whole-boat rates start from $5,500/boat across the Premium phinisi on this page, and move to route-band pricing on the superyacht tier. Full route mathematics — day-trip speedboats included — live on the Komodo boat trip guide.

In July and August the cap genuinely bites — boats without confirmed SiOra slots get re-routed to Rinca. We lock your park slots the day you confirm the boat, on either format.

Across the fleet, the boat rate covers full-board meals from the galley — Chef Bayu trains partner chefs to the desk’s standard menu — plus drinking water, tea and coffee, snorkeling gear, air-conditioned cabins and standard harbor transfers. Licensed park guides lead every landing. It does not cover Komodo National Park fees, paid per person per day $40-50. Budget $40–50 per person on top of a 3D2N — the park fees page itemizes every line, and the trip cost guide builds full sample budgets. Alcohol and the $135/day drone permit from the park office are also extra. Deposits confirm the cabin or the hull; balances clear before boarding. If your dates flex, say so — shoulder-season weeks in April–June and September–November regularly free up better cabins at the same list price.Not Sure Which Hull Fits?
