A timber-lined suite aboard a phinisi

Price silo · Two models

One cabin, or the whole boat

Same route, same park, same phinisi. What changes is what you pay for, who else is aboard, and whether the itinerary is yours to move.

Why this page exists

Most operators only publish one of these

Charter companies in Labuan Bajo tend to quote full-boat rates only, which leaves solo travellers, couples and pairs guessing whether they can join a trip at all without renting a whole phinisi.

Both are available here and priced separately, so you can compare the two before deciding rather than after.

  • Per-cabin: a fixed rate per person, on a shared departure
  • Full boat: one flat rate for the vessel, split how you like
  • Same national park route either way

Side by side

The two models, on seven counts

Everything that actually differs between them. Nothing below is a matter of vessel quality — both run the same boats.

  • Who it suits

    Per cabin / per person
    Solo travellers, couples and small groups joining a shared departure
    Full boat charter
    Families, corporate groups, celebrations, anyone wanting full privacy

  • How the price works

    Per cabin / per person
    Fixed rate per person by cabin class and trip length
    Full boat charter
    One flat rate for the vessel, split however your group prefers

  • Who else is aboard

    Per cabin / per person
    Other cabins may be booked by unrelated guests on the same departure
    Full boat charter
    Only your group — no other passengers

  • Itinerary flexibility

    Per cabin / per person
    Fixed shared itinerary and schedule for that departure
    Full boat charter
    Custom itinerary, timing and stops built around you

  • Typical group size

    Per cabin / per person
    1–2 guests per cabin
    Full boat charter
    2 to 20+ depending on the boat

  • Departure dates

    Per cabin / per person
    Fixed dates set by the boat's schedule
    Full boat charter
    You set the dates

  • Best for

    Per cabin / per person
    Cost efficiency, and a phinisi trip without the full-boat outlay
    Full boat charter
    Privacy, a private route, or an occasion worth the exclusivity

If cost efficiency matters most and sharing is acceptable, per-cabin is the better entry point. If privacy, a custom route or a special occasion matters more than cost per head, take the boat.

The same either way

What a standard charter includes

Whichever model you book, the itinerary is built around the same core highlights and carries the same inclusions.

  • Cabin aboard

    On a traditional phinisi, air-conditioned in most cabin classes.

  • All main meals

    Prepared on board by the boat's cooking crew.

  • Padar viewpoint

    The three-bay ridge, plus Pink Beach on the same route.

  • Dragon trekking

    Komodo Island with a park ranger throughout.

  • Manta Point

    Plus Kelor or Kalong depending on the route that departure runs.

  • Snorkel gear

    And stops at reef sites along the way.

Indicative rates

How booking differs

Fixed departures, or your dates

This is the practical difference most people hit first, and it decides how early you need to move.

Fixed departures

Cabin bookings

  • Dates are set by the boat's own schedule
  • We check which boats have cabins open in your window
  • Category confirmed — standard, deluxe or master
  • Popular dates sell out weeks ahead

Your dates

Full boat charters

  • You set the dates and we build around your group
  • Trip length, route priorities, meals, occasion details
  • Quoted as one number for the vessel
  • Split among your group however you like

Indonesian and school holidays are the tightest windows on the per-cabin side. If your dates fall in one, check early rather than at the point of booking.

Either way

Four steps to a written rate

  1. 1

    Send dates and group

    And whether you want a cabin or the whole boat.

  2. 2

    We check availability

    Real-time — which boats have cabins, or which are free.

  3. 3

    Written rate back

    Per person or per vessel, before any payment.

  4. 4

    Confirm and prepare

    Boarding point, timings and what to bring.

Not an automated estimate

You get real-time availability and a written quote from a person. A form that returns an instant figure cannot tell you whether the cabin is actually free.
