Luxury phinisi cruises, run end to end
From the turquoise waters of Kenawa Island to the ancient dragons of Komodo National Park — aboard handcrafted phinisi boats. We run the full voyage from Lombok to Labuan Bajo, so you simply step aboard and sail.
The route between Lombok and Komodo is one of the most spectacular stretches of water in Indonesia. Instead of a single day trip, a liveaboard cruise lets you wake up anchored beside a different island each morning — from the lone hill of Kenawa to the triple-bay sweep of Padar and the rose-tinted sand of Pink Beach.
We are a licensed maritime operator running this exact corridor for more than eight years. Our crews, vessels, and itineraries are built around one route done exceptionally well: turquoise lagoons, manta cleaning stations, and the prehistoric Komodo dragons of Rinca and Komodo Island.
Whether you join a shared open trip, charter a private phinisi, or sail on a dedicated diving liveaboard, every detail — meals, snorkeling equipment, national-park permits, English-speaking guides, and airport transfers — is handled by our Lombok-based team so you can focus entirely on the voyage.
