    Akassa phinisi sailing in Komodo National Park

    Akassa

    Three rooms rather than six cabins, and two of them stretch to four guests apiece

    Cruising Areas

    Komodo

    Akassa operates a compact Komodo circuit from Labuan Bajo. Shared 3D2N sailings combine Kelor and Manjarite with Padar, Pink Beach, Komodo Island, Manta Point and Taka Makassar, followed by a final snorkeling stop around Kanawa or Sebayur. Private charters can extend the same core route over additional nights. Weather, park operations and sea conditions can change the sequence of stops.

    Who This Suits

    Akassa works best for one family, three couples or a small private group that values oversized suites over a high cabin count. Laut and Langit are the premium rooms because both add balconies and bathing features, while Bumi is the simpler double suite. Shared trips also make the boat accessible without chartering all three suites.

    About This Vessel

    Akassa is a 25-metre wooden phinisi operating in Komodo National Park with three sea-view suites and a maximum published overnight capacity of 10 guests. The operator lists a 2021 build, 4.5-metre beam, Mitsubishi 6D16 main engine and a cruising speed of around 7 to 8 knots. A five-metre dinghy with a Yamaha 40 HP outboard supports shore transfers and snorkeling stops.

    The accommodation is arranged as three distinct suites rather than a large cabin inventory. Laut Legendary Suite sleeps two to four guests and adds a private bathroom, balcony and jacuzzi. Langit VIP Suite also sleeps two to four, with a double bed, balcony, private bathroom and bathtub. Bumi Suite is a simpler double room for two guests with a private bathroom. All three are air-conditioned. This layout makes Akassa better suited to a small group that wants larger rooms than to travellers looking for many separate cabins.

    Navigation and safety equipment published by the operator includes Garmin GPS, SSB and VHF radio, life raft, life jackets, lifebuoys, fire extinguishers, distress signalling and first-aid equipment. Akassa is primarily leisure-focused: typical trips combine island trekking, snorkeling, kayaking or paddleboarding, beach stops and wildlife encounters rather than a dedicated scuba-diving program.

    Akassa is sold both as a private charter and on scheduled 3D2N shared departures. Shared sailings operate on regular Monday–Wednesday and Friday–Sunday patterns during much of the year. Komodo routes commonly include Padar, Pink Beach, Komodo Island, Manta Point, Taka Makassar, Kelor, Manjarite and a final snorkeling stop around Kanawa or Sebayur.
