The difference

Private, not shared — plainly

Two very different things get sold under the same word. Here is which one this is.

What we do

Whole-boat charter

You book the entire phinisi — no strangers aboard
Every cabin, deck and the full crew are yours
Your route, your pace, your dining times

Not this

Per-cabin sharing

You buy one cabin; other guests fill the rest
Fixed shared route and shared schedule
Cheaper per head — but not private

We arrange both. Whole-boat is what this page is about and what most guests book; per-cabin exists for couples and solo travellers who would rather share than skip the trip.

From enquiry to boarding

Four calm steps to the horizon

1
Enquire
Message us your dates, group size and any wishes.
2
Hold your dates
We provisionally hold the whole boat while details are confirmed.
3
Tailor the route
Padar sunrise, Manta Point, Pink Beach — built around weather and season.
4
Board
Meet the crew in Labuan Bajo and step aboard your private phinisi.

Seasonal honesty

The dry season (roughly Apr–Nov) gives the calmest crossings and clearest water. Wet-season trips still run, but expect more weather and flexible routing.
