In Komodo, Sukha Sail 1 is sold as a private phinisi charter with short and multi-day programs from Labuan Bajo. current published product currently publishes 2D1N through week-long charter options, while the vessel’s large accommodation plan makes it better suited to extended families and groups than small couples-only charters. Typical Komodo programs combine trekking, snorkeling, manta encounters and beach stops, with canoe and paddleboard use between landings. The boat’s slower 5–6 knot cruise speed and large guest capacity mean itinerary timing should be treated as operational rather than identical to smaller fast phinisi.
Sukha Sail 1 also runs scheduled 4D3N crossings between Labuan Bajo and Lombok. current published product lists a dense 2026 program from April through October in both directions, marketed for roughly 24–32 guests. These are point-to-point voyages rather than a round-trip Komodo charter: the journey links Flores and Lombok and adds island, beach and snorkeling stops along the crossing. Shared space can be bought by cabin or berth, and transfer arrangements are provided on both ends. This route is especially relevant to travellers building a longer overland-and-sea Indonesia itinerary without taking a domestic flight between Lombok and Labuan Bajo.
Suits: large parties — company trips, extended families, wedding groups. Thirty-two berths across eight cabins is roughly double what a 34 metre hull normally carries in this tier, and the per-head rate above twenty-one guests is the lowest in the Luxury group.
Also works for: mixed groups with different budgets. The two Rinca masters have king beds and private balconies, while the Komodo Sharing cabin sleeps six on a shared bathroom, so one booking can cover very different price points without splitting across boats.
Less suited to: couples, small groups and divers. At four guests you are paying IDR 96,000,000 for a boat built to carry eight times that, and the cabins fill up with extra beds rather than floor space. There is no compressor, no tanks and no diving rate card — this is a snorkelling and island-hopping boat.
Sukha Sail 1 is a 34-metre phinisi used for both private Komodo charters and scheduled point-to-point voyages between Labuan Bajo and Lombok. Current scheduled products are commonly marketed below the vessel maximum, while the operator's own accommodation page says the vessel can reach about 35 with extra beds. For this listing, the marketed trip capacity remains the more useful booking reference, while the cabin descriptions preserve the operator's detailed sleeping configurations.
The operator publishes a Weichai WD10C240-18 main engine rated at 240 HP, a normal cruising speed of 5 to 6 knots, 6,000 litres of fresh-water storage and a watermaker rated at 250 litres per hour. Power comes from two 30 kVA auxiliary generators plus an emergency generator. Safety equipment is unusually well documented for this class, including three liferafts with a combined stated capacity of 60 people, EPIRB, flares, AIS, radar, GPS, VHF/HF radio and sonar.
Cabin counting needs context because different sellers group the connected and shared accommodation differently. The operator individually describes Rinca 1 and 2, Kanawa, Padar, the connected Manjarite/Kelor family arrangement, Komodo 1 and 2, and a Komodo sharing cabin. Some Komodo and Lombok sales pages simplify that layout to seven cabins. The cabin section below follows the actual named sleeping arrangements rather than hiding that discrepancy.
Route choice is the other major reason to consider Sukha Sail 1. Private charters operate in Komodo, while scheduled 4D3N crossings connect Labuan Bajo and Lombok during the published 2026 season. Those crossings are not simply a longer Komodo loop: they are one-way journeys with a different logistics profile, making this boat especially relevant to travellers who want to combine Flores and Lombok without flying between them.
Master cabin on the upper deck with a king bed, its own balcony and an ensuite bathroom with hot water. Takes two guests as standard and up to five with extra beds. The operator also numbers this cabin as Cabin 1.
The second upper-deck master, matching Rinca Cabin 1: king bed, private balcony and ensuite bathroom with hot water, two guests as standard and up to five with extra beds.
A connected family setup combining Manjarite and Kelor. The operator describes a double bed in Manjarite and three single beds in Kelor, with a private bathroom for the family unit. Kelor itself uses a fan and receives air conditioning through the connecting door when open.
Main-deck cabin with a king bed plus a single, sleeping two as standard and up to four with an extra bed. The operator publishes only one photograph of this cabin.
Main-deck family cabin with a queen bed plus two singles, sleeping two as standard and up to six with extra beds. The largest of the private cabins by headcount.
Komodo Private Cabin 1 sleeps three with one double bed and one single bed. The operator states that the Komodo cabins use two shared bathrooms rather than an ensuite bathroom. The operator publishes one photo set for the two identical Komodo Private rooms without saying which is which, so the images are divided between the two cabins here rather than repeated in both.
Komodo Private Cabin 2 sleeps three with one double bed and one single bed. The operator states that the Komodo cabins use two shared bathrooms rather than an ensuite bathroom. Identical to Komodo Private Cabin 1. The operator does not label its photographs by room number, so the single image shown here comes from the same set.
The Komodo Sharing Cabin accommodates up to six guests with two double beds and two single beds. It uses the same two shared bathrooms described by the operator for the Komodo cabin section.
Sukha Sail 1 has two distinct booking models. Scheduled 4D3N Lombok–Komodo crossings are sold per person by cabin, with the lowest current shared fare displayed by KomodoInsider at about $435 per person. Private Komodo charters are priced for the whole vessel, with the shortest published private package starting at about $2,795 for 2D1N. The private rate card is structured by group size and publishes up to 32 guests, while the vessel accommodation specification can reach about 35 using extra beds.nnPublished packages include transfers appropriate to the route, full-board accommodation, meals, drinking water, coffee and tea, snacks, shore excursions, guiding and snorkeling equipment. Flights, hotels outside the sailing package, travel or dive accident insurance, alcoholic drinks, personal expenses, park fees where not included, and crew gratuities remain outside the fare.
Availability and quotes for Sukha Sail 1 are handled by the operator directly. KomodoInsider does not take bookings or add a commission.

Labuan Bajo, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia
The rate card used here is whole-boat private charter. The boat does also run open trips through several agents, including Lombok-to-Komodo crossings, so cabin-only bookings exist — but on a fixed published schedule rather than dates you choose.
The operator describes the accommodation as named sleeping arrangements: two Rinca masters, Padar, Kanawa, a connected Manjarite/Kelor family setup, two Komodo Private rooms and one Komodo Sharing room. Some sales pages simplify that inventory to seven cabins, especially on the Lombok crossing. KomodoInsider keeps the named arrangements visible so the actual bed plan is not hidden by a marketing count.
No. The upper- and main-deck private rooms are described with their own bathrooms, while the Komodo section uses shared bathroom facilities for the lower-deck private and sharing accommodation. The connected Manjarite/Kelor family setup also needs to be read as one family unit rather than two independent ensuite hotel rooms.
Two brackets. Up to four guests you pay a flat base — IDR 96,000,000 for a 4D3N — then IDR 7,000,000 for each extra head. From twenty-one guests the base resets to IDR 215,000,000 and the per-head rate drops to IDR 6,500,000. Cost per person keeps falling as you add people, which is the opposite of how most boats here are priced.
No. She is sold as a snorkelling and island-hopping boat. What is included is snorkelling gear, a canoe and a paddleboard, with a tour guide rather than a dive guide. There is no compressor, no tank storage and no diving rate card.
The operator publishes a Weichai WD10C240-18 main engine rated at 240 HP, cruising around 5–6 knots, plus two 30 kVA auxiliary generators and an emergency generator. Navigation and communication equipment includes GPS, radar, AIS, depth sounding/sonar, VHF and HF radio. That is why these fields are now populated instead of being left to broker inference.
Three liferafts are published with a combined stated capacity of sixty people, alongside EPIRB, flares, life jackets, ring buoys, fire extinguishers and other emergency equipment. Against the marketed 24–32 guest trip capacity, the liferaft figure provides substantial nominal capacity. Safety equipment should still be reconfirmed before sailing because onboard inventory can change.
Yes. She runs Lombok to Labuan Bajo crossings between roughly April and October, taking in Kenawa Island, Saleh Bay for whale sharks and Tambora before entering the national park. Those are sold as scheduled open trips by agents rather than appearing on the private charter card, so ask specifically if you want the crossing as a charter.
