Papiton Allo

Yes. Papiton Allo is marketed in both booking models: selected 3D2N shared departures sell cabins or berths, while private charter takes the complete eight-cabin vessel. That distinction matters because the per-person starting price comes from the shared product, whereas the charter price is the whole-boat figure. Always check that the departure you are comparing is the same booking model.

Per night for the whole vessel rather than as a fixed package, which is unusual in this tier. The published 2026-2027 rate covers one to eighteen guests at a flat nightly figure, with an additional per-person charge for each guest above eighteen up to the maximum of twenty-two. Trip length is chosen at booking from 2D1N through 7D6N and multiplied out, so an unusual duration such as four nights is straightforward to price.

Twelve, for a maximum of twenty-two guests. Boats of this length in the Komodo fleet more commonly run six to eight crew, so the ratio here is roughly one crew member to every two passengers at full capacity, and better than that on a smaller booking.

She is the fourth and largest vessel. Papiton Lopi came first, a four-cabin boat for up to eleven guests. Papiton Duwa followed in the same year, just under 30 metres with twelve guests and five crew. Papiton Dive is the third. Allo is the newest and the only one at 37 metres with eight cabins, and she is the only vessel in the fleet not yet given her own page on the operator site.

A 50 per cent deposit confirms the booking and is payable within three days of the invoice; the balance falls due 90 days before departure, and bookings made inside that window are payable in full. Cancelling 90 days or more ahead returns 40 per cent of what was paid, and nothing is refunded from 89 days out. Private charters can be rescheduled up to 100 days before the trip. If the boat cannot sail because of weather, force majeure or a government restriction, guests may reschedule or take a 70 per cent refund.

Papiton Allo has an eight-cabin deck plan: Allo Signature and two Arra Suites are on the upper deck; two Loppi Suites and Birru Deluxe are on the main deck; and two Nucca Deluxe cabins are on the lower deck. Separate common-area plans also show the rooftop lounge, wheelhouse lounge, front deck, bowsprit and dining saloon.

The standard Komodo National Park circuit from Labuan Bajo: Kelor for the hill trek, Manjarite for snorkelling, Kalong for the sunset flying foxes, then Padar at sunrise, Pink Beach, the ranger walk on Komodo Island, the Taka Makassar sandbar, a snorkel at Manta Point and Kanawa on the way home. Longer charters add Gili Lawa, Siaba, Sebayur and Sabolo. Because the boat is chartered privately, the order and the stops can be rearranged with the crew.

Komodo is sailed year-round, but April to November is the dry season and the settled window, with June to August the busiest. Manta sightings at Karang Makassar are most reliable from December through February, which is also the wetter and windier part of the year. January and February can bring crossings rough enough to cut a stop, so build a spare day into the flights either side.
