Pinta — Komodo Liveaboard Profile, Cabins & Booking

The Pinta liveaboard fills a specific brief in the Komodo fleet: whole-boat privacy at rates well below superyacht territory. She is a traditional ironwood-and-teak phinisi finished with a modern minimalist interior, built for groups who want the boat to themselves — families with kids, two or three couples travelling together, or a small dive group of certified friends. With 5 guest cabins, a crew of 8, and a deck jacuzzi, she runs at a guest-to-crew ratio most shared boats cannot match.

She is not the right pick for everyone. Pinta operates as a charter-only vessel — we have found no confirmed shared open-trip departures — so solo travellers and couples on a per-person budget will get better value from a shared Komodo liveaboard departure from $220 per person, or a one-day Komodo boat trip from $120 if time is tight.

Pinta Liveaboard at a Glance: Verified Specifications

These specs are cross-checked against the vessel’s own site, our operator’s fleet listing, and independent aggregators. Where sources disagree, we say so rather than pick a number.

Cabins: Five En-Suite Rooms Across Four Classes

Every cabin on Pinta has its own private bathroom and an in-cabin safety box — no shared facilities anywhere on the guest deck. The layout runs: one Master Sea View with a private balcony, one Deluxe Sea View, one Junior Suite, and two Deluxe Rooms. On a family charter we usually assign the Master to the parents and split kids across the Deluxe Rooms; on a three-couple trip the Junior Suite is the cabin people quietly negotiate over.

What Is On Board

Trip Types and a Sample 3-Day Private Route

Pinta runs private charters from 2D1N up to 4D3N as her core format, with dive-focused itineraries and longer routes on request. She serves leisure and family cruises, snorkeling trips, island excursions, and guided diving expeditions. Here is how we typically route a 3D2N charter on her — the timing below is what we actually run, not marketing copy.

Day 1 — Labuan Bajo, Rinca & Kalong

Board at Labuan Bajo Harbor at 08:30, cruise into the park, and take the afternoon ranger-guided dragon trek on Rinca Island. By sunset the boat anchors off Kalong Island, where thousands of flying foxes leave the mangroves at around 18:15 — watch from the jacuzzi.

Day 2 — Padar Sunrise, Pink Beach, Manta Point & Batu Bolong

We time the Padar Island trek for a 05:15 start so you summit before the heat and the crowds. Mid-morning is Pink Beach, then the afternoon goes to Manta Point and the coral wall at Batu Bolong for snorkeling or dives.

Day 3 — Cauldron Drift & Return

Certified divers can take the famous Cauldron (Shotgun) drift in the morning current window; everyone else gets a final swim stop. Pinta is back alongside in Labuan Bajo by about 13:00, in time for afternoon flights the next day.

Pinta Liveaboard Charter Rates 2026

The figures below are the published 2026 whole-boat rates from our operator’s fleet listing. They come from a single source and shift with season and group size, so treat them as a reliable guide — our booking desk confirms an exact quote before you commit anything.

Park fees are charged per person on top of any charter: Komodo National Park entry IDR 250,000 (~$16) per day for foreign visitors, ranger trekking IDR 200,000 per group of up to 5 (IDR 150,000 on Padar), harbor fee IDR 25,000, and a dive surcharge of IDR 25,000 per day. Budget roughly $40–50 per person across a 3D2N trip. Note also the 1,000-visitor daily cap on Komodo and Padar islands, enforced through the SiOra reservation system since April 2026 — our desk locks in those slots when we confirm your charter. Split 13 ways, a 3D2N on Pinta lands near $525–575 per adult before fees; for context, shared-cabin market rates run about IDR 3.5–5.5 million per person for a comparable 3D2N.

Pinta vs Her Sister Phinisi

Against sister boats we arrange, the contrast is clean. Magika is the volume option — 26.74 m, 9 cabins, 22 guests, with weekly shared 3D2N open trips from $310 per person by cabin class — so she suits solo travellers and couples who do not need the whole boat. Pinta stays private-only with 5 cabins and a crew of 8, which means fewer guests per square metre of deck and a jacuzzi you never queue for.
