Komodo National Park out of Labuan Bajo, on a fixed three-day rotation for open trips and flexible routing on private charter. Day one runs Kelor for the trek, Manjarite for snorkelling and Kalong at sunset for the flying foxes. Day two is the full day: Padar trek, Long Pink Beach, the ranger-led dragon walk on Komodo Island, then Taka Makassar and Manta Ray Point. Day three closes at Kanawa before returning. Departures are Friday to Sunday and Monday to Wednesday.
Suits: families and mixed groups working to a budget. The family cabin takes four in one room, the two masters take three each, and the bunk cabin is on the upper deck with a view rather than buried below. Sixteen guests across six cabins at deluxe pricing is materially cheaper per head than the luxury tier.
Also worth knowing: tax and fuel surcharge are inside the quoted price, and open trips run without a minimum quota, so a solo traveller still sails.
Less suited to: divers, since there is no compressor, nitrox or dive guide listed and the onboard entertainment is karaoke rather than a dive deck. Also not the boat for anyone expecting luxury finish, as she is classed deluxe rather than luxury by the agents selling her.
Sea Familia 2 is a 36.35-metre phinisi built in 2018 from ulin and teak. The operator publishes capacity for 16 guests across six cabins: two Master Cabins, three Deluxe Twin Cabins and one Family Cabin. It is a separate vessel from the smaller Sea Familia, despite the similar name.
The two Master Cabins sleep up to three guests each. Three Deluxe Cabins use twin beds and sleep two each. The Family Cabin combines a double bed and bunk arrangement for up to four guests. This configuration totals six cabins and a nominal capacity of 16, matching the operator’s current specification.

No, and this is a common mix-up. Sea Familia is 25 metres, built 2019 and refitted in Labuan Bajo in 2021, with six cabins for twelve guests. Sea Familia 2 is 36.35 metres, built 2018, with six cabins for sixteen. Agents list them under similar names and the specifications get swapped regularly, so confirm the length and capacity when booking.
Six in total. Two master cabins on the main deck with a double plus extra bed, balcony and bathtub, taking two to three guests each. Two deluxe twins on the lower deck. One bunk cabin on the upper deck with an ocean view. One family cabin below with a queen bed and a bunk for up to four.
Fridays and Mondays, on a three day two night rotation. Open trips are sold per cabin, so a single booking still sails without waiting for a minimum group.
No. Komodo National Park entrance tickets and ranger fees are excluded, along with tips and personal expenses. The 1.1 per cent tax and the fuel surcharge, however, are already inside the quoted rate.
