    Catnazse

    Five official cabin types across eight cabins, with 2026 Komodo open-trip fares from $450 for 3D2N

    Cruising Areas

    Komodo

    The only ground she works, on a weekly 3D2N loop with the full 2026 calendar published. Pick-up is between eight and nine, sailing to Kelor for the trek, Manjarite to snorkel after lunch, then Kalong for the flying foxes at half four. Day two is Padar at six, Pink Beach at nine, the Komodo Island dragon trek at half eleven, Manta Point at half two and Taka Makassar before sunset. Day three snorkels Sebayur at eight and returns to port by midday. Charters of four nights add Rangko Cave, Seraya and Sabolo or Bidadari; anything longer is built to request.

    Who This Suits

    Suits: travellers who want to control what they spend per berth. No other boat in this directory prices a single cabin five ways. A family of four takes Grandis 3 privately at USD 430 each, while a solo traveller takes a single bed in the same cabin at USD 450, and a couple wanting a balcony pays USD 680 in Santalum 1. Everything is quoted in dollars, so there is no exchange-rate guesswork.

    Also works for: groups chartering for longer. The 2026 card flattens out with length, from USD 5,900 for one night to USD 12,450 for six, and the 2027 card runs to twelve nights.

    Less suited to: divers, and anyone who needs the specification nailed down. There is no dive centre or compressor, and no kayaks or paddleboards on the confirmed inclusion list. The operator's own site also contradicts itself on capacity, length and what the fare covers, so get the details in writing.

    About This Vessel

    Catnazse is a 34.4-metre phinisi completed in 2026 for Komodo cruises from Labuan Bajo. The operator publishes eight air-conditioned ensuite cabins and an operational maximum of 18 guests.

    Accommodation is sold in five official types. Santalum 1 and Santalum 2 each have a king bed, private balcony and sea view. Grandis 1 and 2 each have a queen bed and sea-view windows. Cafasa 1 and 2 also have queen beds and sea views. Grandis 3 and 4 each combine a queen bed with two bunk berths and use porthole views.

    The physical bed layout totals 20 berths, but the operator's 2026 charter table and homepage cap bookings at 18 guests; this listing therefore uses 18 as the operational maximum. For the published 3D2N shared departure, the lowest amount one person can book is USD 450 for a single berth in Grandis 3 or 4. Private 2026 charter pricing starts at USD 5,200 for the complete one-day trip for up to 12 guests.

    Published inclusions cover onboard accommodation, meals, mineral water, coffee and tea, a guide, snorkeling equipment, life vests, raw photo and video documentation, and eligible Labuan Bajo mainland transfers near the harbor. Komodo National Park fees, flights, gratuities, extra drinks and personal expenses are excluded.

      • Rate notes

        Catnazse quotes in dollars rather than rupiah, which makes her easier to compare than most of the fleet.

        Open trip, per person for 3D2N: Santalum 1 USD 680, Santalum 2 USD 650, Grandis 1 and 2 USD 530, Cafasa 1 and 2 USD 490. Grandis 3 and 4 are sold five ways: private for two at USD 500 each, for three at USD 470 each, for four at USD 430 each, or as a sharing cabin at USD 470 for the double bed and USD 450 per person for the single berths. The USD 450 rate is the cheapest berth on board, about USD 225 per person per night.

        Private charter 2026, one to twelve guests: USD 5,200 for a day trip, 5,900 for 2D1N, 7,100 for 3D2N, 8,900 for 4D3N, 10,100 for 5D4N, 11,250 for 6D5N, 12,450 for 7D6N. Thirteen to eighteen guests adds USD 600 to each. The 2027 card runs steeper and extends to 12D11N at USD 30,200.

        The charter figure on this page is the 4D3N package at USD 8,900, the three-night equivalent used across this directory. Note that third-party listings quoting Catnazse at USD 5,900 per night are quoting the 2D1N package price, not a nightly rate.

        Included: accommodation on board, all meals, mineral water, coffee and tea, a guide, snorkelling gear, life vests, pick-up and drop-off within the Labuan Bajo mainland area near the harbour, and premium documentation on drone, GoPro and mirrorless camera, supplied as raw footage only.

        Not included: crew gratuities; flights; alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks beyond water, coffee and tea; personal snacks; Komodo National Park fees; and a drone permit at around IDR 2,100,000, which must be requested seven days ahead. Pick-up does not extend to accommodation on other islands or in the Manjaga area.

        Three things on the operator's own site do not agree, and are worth confirming before booking. Capacity: the homepage says eighteen guests and the charter price bands stop at eighteen, while the specification block and the FAQ both say twenty-four. Adding up the eight cabins as listed gives twenty berths. Length: the specification says 34.4 metres, the FAQ says 30. Inclusions: the FAQ claims charter packages cover fishing gear, kayaks, paddleboards and soft drinks, none of which appear on the actual include list, which explicitly excludes non-alcoholic drinks. This page follows the specification block and the include list, since those are the ones tied to the published prices.
