Cruising Areas

Komodo

Em’Ocean operates in Komodo as both a 12-guest private charter and a shared 3D2N cabin product. The vessel’s five physical cabins are sold through four room classes, so travellers can enter the route at very different price points without changing boats. Leisure itineraries combine trekking, snorkeling, manta and beach stops, with paddleboard and canoe use when conditions allow. For private groups, 2D1N through 4D3N rates are currently published; shared guests follow the fixed 3D2N departure pattern. This is not marketed as a dedicated dive expedition, so the page does not infer dive sites simply because Komodo itself is a world-class diving area.

Who This Suits

A good fit for couples, families and small groups who want a five-cabin leisure phinisi with all-ensuite accommodation and a mix of private balcony, double and family-style cabin layouts. The published trip focuses on trekking, snorkeling and island exploration rather than dedicated scuba operations.

About This Vessel

Em'Ocean is a 28.6-metre Komodo phinisi built from ironwood and teak, with five guest cabins and capacity for up to 12 people. It is sold in both private-charter and shared 3D2N formats, so buyers can choose between taking the complete vessel or booking one of the published cabin classes. A Mitsubishi 8DC11 diesel is the listed main engine, with cruising around 8 knots and 8,000 litres of water storage.

The five physical cabins are marketed through four room categories. Sunset is the premium two-person room with a private balcony; Horizon is a two-person main-deck room; Wave & Coral covers two lower-deck double cabins; and Lagoon is the larger lower-deck family-style room with a queen bed plus two singles. Every published cabin has air conditioning, an ensuite bathroom and hot shower, so the price difference is driven more by deck position, balcony access and occupancy than by basic bathroom comfort.

Onboard spaces include indoor dining, karaoke, a sundeck/rooftop area, bean bags, minibar and refrigeration, plus paddleboard, canoe and snorkeling equipment. Wi-Fi is listed in the current package inclusions, but the connection type is not identified by the source, so the structured internet field is intentionally not labelled as either local 4G or Starlink.

Em'Ocean is a leisure-focused Komodo option for couples, families and small groups that want a modern cabin setup without moving into a very large vessel. Shared departures make the lower-deck rooms accessible without chartering the boat, while private charter preserves flexibility for groups up to 12. The verified route focus is Komodo, with trekking, snorkeling, manta-viewing and beach stops rather than a published specialist dive program.

Komodo National Park Fees

What you pay	Amount	Basis
Park entrance, foreign visitor	Rp 250,000 ≈ $14	per person, per visit Identical on weekdays and public holidays. Already includes trekking, wildlife observation and snorkelling inside the park.
Park entrance, Indonesian visitor, weekday	Rp 50,000 ≈ $3	per person, per visit Raised from Rp 35,000 in October 2024.
Park entrance, Indonesian visitor, weekend or public holiday	Rp 75,000 ≈ $4	per person, per visit The holiday uplift applies to the Indonesian rate only.
Park entrance, Indonesian student group	Rp 25,000 ≈ $1	per person, per day Group bookings only.
Scuba diving permit	Rp 25,000 ≈ $1	per diver, per day Charged on top of the entrance fee. Snorkelling is not charged separately.
Vessel entry	varies	Assessed on the engine capacity of the boat, so it is normally settled by the operator rather than by passengers.

Booking runs through SIORA, the park's own system, and is handled by a licensed operator before arrival. There is no ticket window at the gate.
A daily cap of 1,000 visitors applies across the park, split between Komodo, Rinca and Padar and the dive sites around them.
Entry runs in sessions rather than all day, which is why a boat's arrival time is set by the park and not by the crew.
A drone permit is separate, expensive, and has to be requested well in advance.

Statutory rates set by Peraturan Pemerintah No. 36 Tahun 2024, in force since 30 October 2024. Checked 25 August 2026. Amounts are payable in rupiah; dollar figures are converted at Rp 17,900 and rounded. A rise in the foreign rate was under government review in April 2026 and had not taken effect.
