    About This Vessel

    Giona is a 25-metre phinisi built in 2019 from ironwood and teak, operating multi-day Komodo trips from Labuan Bajo. The vessel specification lists four guest cabins, capacity for up to 12 guests, a Mitsubishi 6D15 main engine and 7–8 knot cruising speed.

    The four physical cabins are Poseidon, Triton, Doris and Thetis. Poseidon is the main-deck premium room with a double bed, private balcony and capacity for up to four using extra beds. Triton and Doris are lower-deck double rooms for two guests each. Thetis is the upper-deck shared room with two double beds for up to four guests. All four are air-conditioned and published with private bathrooms.

    Navigation and communications include Garmin GPS, SSB and VHF radio. Safety equipment includes a liferaft, life jackets, life buoy, distress signals, fire extinguishers and first-aid equipment. Shared-trip inclusions list canoe, paddleboard and snorkeling gear.

    Giona is sold both as scheduled 3D2N shared inventory and as a private charter. The current shared entry price is the Thetis room, while private charters use whole-vessel pricing.
