Komodo Luxury operates a verified fleet of nine or more premium yachts and phinisi based in Labuan Bajo, offering private charters and shared cabin cruises in Komodo National Park and Raja Ampat. The fleet ranges from 33m to 65m, accommodating 8 to 20 guests, with vessels like Lamima for ultra-luxury and Cheng Ho for larger shared groups, all meeting Maika Luxury Verified standards.
Understanding the Komodo Luxury Fleet Structure
Komodo Luxury is not a single vessel but a Labuan Bajo-based yacht operator managing a diverse array of luxury yachts and phinisi. This distinction is crucial for guests planning liveaboard experiences in both Komodo National Park and Raja Ampat. Each vessel within their verified fleet adheres to Maika Luxury Verified standards, ensuring a high level of service, comfort, and safety. The operator specialises in both private charters, offering exclusive access to a yacht and its crew, and shared cabin cruises, which provide a more communal experience for individual travellers or smaller groups.
The strategic base in Labuan Bajo allows for efficient operations across the Indonesian archipelago, facilitating itineraries that explore the unique marine biodiversity and landscapes of both Komodo and Raja Ampat. This flexibility in operational areas, coupled with a varied fleet, means that Komodo Luxury can cater to a wide spectrum of preferences, from dedicated dive expeditions to leisure-focused cruises with extensive onboard amenities.
