Sail in style through the Flores Sea aboard a handcrafted Indonesian phinisi — a traditional two-masted vessel reimagined with private cabins, a personal chef and gourmet dining.
A luxury phinisi turns the Lombok–Komodo route into a private floating villa. Built on centuries-old shipwright craft and fitted with modern comfort, these vessels carry 2–12 guests on fully customisable 4–6 day voyages, starting from $850 per person per night.
The phinisi is a handcrafted Indonesian sailing ship, traditionally two-masted, here paired with air-conditioned cabins, ensuite bathrooms and a private chef. Unlike a shared open trip, the boat is yours: you set the itinerary, the meal times and the pace.
Every vessel passes annual safety inspections and sails with experienced professional crews, so the only thing you manage is which island to wake up beside.
Air-conditioned ensuite cabins come with premium bedding and ocean views. A teak sundeck with loungers and shaded areas runs above an indoor lounge with entertainment, so there is always somewhere to relax between dives.
Premium snorkelling gear, paddleboards, kayaks and fishing equipment are carried on board for spontaneous stops along the route.
A personal chef prepares Indonesian and Western cuisine, fully adaptable to dietary needs and preferences. Meals can be served on deck at sunset, on a private beach, or whenever suits your day.
From morning coffee to a multi-course dinner under the stars, the galley works around your plans rather than a fixed schedule.
Luxury phinisi cruises maintain roughly a one-crew-to-two-guest ratio. The team typically includes an experienced captain, PADI-certified dive masters, a private chef and dedicated hospitality staff.
The result is attentive, unobtrusive service for couples, families and small private groups alike.
A private phinisi is one of the most romantic ways to experience Komodo National Park. Honeymoon packages add cabin decoration, a champagne welcome, a private sunset dinner and complimentary couples photography.
The same flexibility suits anniversaries, milestone birthdays and intimate group celebrations.
