Cruising Areas

Komodo cruises

Komodo out of Labuan Bajo is the core programme, on trips of one to three nights with daily departures.

Route details

Sample routing works west first to Sebayur Besar and Sebayur Kecil for snorkelling and beach time, then a full day at Gili Banta with the crew's signature beach set-up, before the park proper: Padar, Pink Beach, the ranger trek for the dragons, Manta Point, and Taka Makassar.

The crew are repeatedly credited by guests with timing arrivals so the popular spots are quiet.

Sumbawa cruises

Sumbawa is the western extension of the Labuan Bajo departures and the most natural fit for the longer bookings on this boat.

Route details

The crater lake at Satonda, the slopes off Sangeang and the bays of Moyo are the stops.

This is cruising rather than diving, which matches a vessel built around a film and karaoke deck instead of a dive deck.

Who This Suits

Suits: groups and families who want Komodo comfortably rather than divers chasing tanks. A crew of fourteen for fourteen guests, a chef, a large sundeck, a karaoke and film area and a sound system on the aft deck make this a social boat. The onboard drone, GoPro and DSLR, used by the crew, are a genuine differentiator at this price.

Also worth knowing: the safety fit-out is unusually thorough for a 27-metre boat, with two twenty-five person life rafts, fifty life jackets, EPIRB, SART and radar.

Less suited to: serious divers. She offers discovery diving rather than a certified dive operation, and carries no compressor or nitrox. Anyone wanting a full dive programme should look at Calico Jack or the Sea Safari boats instead.

About This Vessel

Le Costa is a 27.8-metre classic wooden yacht designed in 2021 by an Indonesian naval architect. Originally conceived as a cargo boat for copra transport in Sumatra, the wide 8.45-metre hull was completed as a private and shared-trip yacht instead.

Six ensuite cabins accommodate up to fourteen guests: one Santorini master cabin with a super-king bed and private jacuzzi, one Portofino family cabin with two queen beds, and four double cabins named Marbella, Capri, Ibiza and Monaco. Every cabin has air conditioning, a private bathroom and hot water.

Le Costa focuses on leisure cruising, snorkeling, paddleboarding and discovery diving rather than operating as a dedicated dive liveaboard. Guest areas include a large sun deck, outdoor and indoor dining, a bar, karaoke and film-night equipment. A fourteen-member crew supports up to fourteen guests.

Park fees, flights, travel insurance, alcohol and crew gratuities are excluded.

See Rates & Packages in Cabins & Pricing for the listed fares, trip lengths, booking units and rate conditions.

SiOra is the park’s e-ticketing and SIMAKSI system. Reserve before travel; Ministry guidance recommends completing the reservation by H-1. An operator can assist, and self-service is available at the Komodo Visitor Center and KP3 terminal.
Payment is cashless through the methods available in SiOra, including BRIVA or bank transfer and supported e-wallets. Keep the e-ticket and ensure the traveller details are correct.
A 1,000-visitor daily quota has applied since 1 April 2026 to the main visitor islands and 23 dive sites. Availability therefore depends on the travel date and registered itinerary.
The final SiOra total can include entrance, activity, vessel and special-use charges. Ask the handling operator for an itemised total before issuance.
Official public guidance does not state one universal refund or rescheduling rule for every reservation. Confirm the current SiOra terms in writing before the ticket is issued, including treatment of weather disruption.

Statutory fees under Peraturan Pemerintah No. 36 Tahun 2024, in force since 30 October 2024. Verified 31 August 2026 against the official PP 36/2024 schedule, the Ministry of Forestry SiOra notice and the Ministry’s 2026 quota notice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Was Le Costa built as a yacht?

No. An Indonesian naval architect designed her in 2021 as a cargo boat for carrying copra around Sumatra. The pandemic ended that plan and she was completed as a classic wooden yacht instead, which is why her beam is wide for her length.

How much does a charter cost?

Compare the listed fares in Rates & Packages under Cabins & Pricing. Each offer states its trip length and whether the amount is per person, per cabin or for the whole vessel. Check the selected package conditions, taxes, extra fees and any minimum stay with the operator before payment.

Can we dive from Le Costa?

Only discovery diving. She is set up as a leisure yacht rather than a dive boat, with no compressor or nitrox on board, though snorkelling gear and kayaks are included and the itineraries cover the main snorkelling sites.

What is in the master cabin?

A super king bed at 200 by 200, a 180-degree panoramic view, an ensuite bathroom and a private jacuzzi. It sits on the main deck and is the only cabin on board with the jacuzzi.

How many people can she take?

Fourteen across six cabins, with a crew of fourteen. Minimum booking is two people. Some agents advertise higher capacities of up to eighteen or nineteen by adding extra beds, but fourteen is the figure the operator publishes.
