    Cajoma IV

    The lowest charter band hands four people the whole boat, its jacuzzi and all ten crew

    Cruising Areas

    Komodo

    Cajoma IV uses its four-cabin, ten-guest layout for both leisure and diving in Komodo. The operator publishes separate leisure and diving rates, and explicitly notes that the lower leisure rate does not include the dedicated diving service. Dive guests benefit from a Bauer compressor, tanks, weights, dive deck and diving tenders; leisure groups instead use the same small vessel for trekking, snorkeling and island-hopping. This makes Cajoma IV unusually versatile without becoming high-capacity. Labuan Bajo is the principal gateway, and the exact Komodo route changes with voyage length, current, weather and whether the booking is leisure or dive focused.

    Lombok

    Cajoma Indonesia lists Lombok among Cajoma IV’s operating regions. Compared with the short Komodo loop, a Lombok program is better understood as a regional or crossing voyage whose embarkation, disembarkation and exact stops depend on the booked itinerary. The vessel’s ten-guest capacity keeps the experience private-scale, while its dive infrastructure allows underwater-focused charters where appropriate. KomodoInsider does not invent a fixed Lombok day plan where the operator has not published one; the area is retained because the operator explicitly lists it as part of Cajoma IV’s sailing footprint.

    Sumbawa

    Sumbawa is also explicitly listed by Cajoma Indonesia as an operating region for Cajoma IV. This opens routes beyond the core Komodo National Park circuit and can be used for more remote leisure or dive-focused voyages. The value is not a single standard itinerary but access to a wider stretch of the Lesser Sunda chain aboard the same ten-guest vessel. Because individual Sumbawa departures can vary by season and charter request, this page keeps the description at region level and avoids assigning specific sites that are not named in the operator’s current public material.

    Who This Suits

    Suits: couples and pairs travelling together. The 1 to 4 pax band buys the entire 30-metre boat, ten crew and four cabins, which is the cheapest way onto a private phinisi in this list. Nobody else is on board.

    Also works for: one family or one group of eight. The family cabin takes four in two double beds, so a party of eight fills the boat without anyone sharing a bathroom with strangers.

    Also works for: mixed groups where some dive and some do not. There is a real dive deck, a compressor and a dive guide, but she is also sold explicitly as snorkeller-friendly, and the leisure and diving rate cards are separate so you are not paying for dives nobody takes.

    Think twice if: you need more than one good cabin. There is exactly one room with a balcony and natural light; the other three are lower deck with portholes. Groups of two couples will have to decide who gets it.

    About This Vessel

    Cajoma IV is a 30-metre boutique phinisi built in 2015 for private leisure and diving charters. The vessel specification lists four guest cabins and a maximum capacity of 10 guests, with a teak-and-ironwood hull, Mitsubishi 8DC9 main engine, two 25 kVA generators and a cruising speed of approximately 8 to 10 knots. Some scheduled dive departures are sold with a lower occupancy, so the vessel maximum and the guest count on a specific dive sailing may differ.

    The accommodation layout is compact and easy to understand: one middle-deck balcony suite for two guests, two lower-deck double cabins for two guests each, and one lower-deck family cabin with two double beds for up to four guests. All four cabins are air-conditioned and ensuite with hot and cold showers. Social spaces include an indoor lounge and bar, outdoor dining, a large sun deck and an upper-deck jacuzzi.

    Cajoma IV is properly equipped for mixed leisure and scuba-diving use. The published dive setup includes a Bauer breathing-air compressor, DIN/yoke cylinders, weights and belts, a dedicated dive deck, rinse hoses and diving tenders. Navigation and safety equipment includes Furuno GPS and radar, VHF and SSB radio, emergency oxygen, first-aid equipment, distress signalling and a liferaft. Current dive itineraries also operate with small dive groups, commonly capped at about four divers per guide.

    Komodo is the main operating area, while the vessel is also positioned for Lombok and Sumbawa programs. Private leisure charters are published from 2D1N upward, while diving programs start from longer itineraries. The exact route, dive sites and guest occupancy depend on voyage length, sea conditions and whether the booking is leisure or dive focused.
