    Cruising Areas

    Komodo cruises

    The home ground and the cheaper of her two regions, sold as leisure or diving charters from three to nine days.

    Route details

    The leisure route covers Kelor, Manjarite and the Kalong sunset on day one; Padar at first light, Pink Beach, the Komodo Island dragon trek, Taka Makassar and Manta Point on day two; a final snorkel before returning to port.

    Diving charters run three to four dives a day with tanks and weight belt from a dedicated dive deck.

    Pricing is perfectly linear at IDR 26,000,000 per extra night for one to eight guests, so the nine-day charter costs three times the three-day one.

    Alor cruises

    Sold on a second rate card alongside Bali, Sumbawa and Selayar, starting at four days rather than three.

    Route details

    Alor is a serious dive destination with cooler water and stronger currents, and Maipa Deapati carries oxygen, DIN or Yoke valves and a dedicated diving tender for it.

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

    Sumbawa cruises

    Sumbawa appears on the second rate card alongside Alor, Bali and Selayar, rather than on the standard Komodo departures.

    Route details

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

    This is cruising rather than diving, and on a boat where every extra night costs a flat rate, extending west is the cheapest way to add days.

    Who This Suits

    Suits: divers who want more than Komodo. She is the only boat in this tier with published pricing for Alor, Bali, Sumbawa and Selayar, and the dive fit-out is serious: dive deck, dedicated diving tender, gear rental, DIN or Yoke valve fittings and oxygen carried as standard. Charters run to nine days on every card. Also works for: groups of three sharing. Compare the listed package conditions for your intended group size in Rates & Packages. Less suited to: anyone booking a long trip on price, or wanting a balcony. Compare the listed package conditions for your intended group size in Rates & Packages. No cabin has private outdoor space, and at seven knots she is the slowest boat in this tier.

    About This Vessel

    Maipa Deapati is a 32.5-metre Buginese schooner built at Tanah Beru in 2017 from ironwood, registered at 73 gross tons. She is the first boat in this tier that sails beyond Komodo as a published product rather than on request: the rate card carries separate pricing for Alor, Bali, Sumbawa and Selayar alongside the park itself.

    Six cabins, sixteen guests, and the deck plan is published in full. Two cabins on the upper deck, each with a double bed plus a single for three guests. Four on the lower deck: two more three-person cabins with a double and a single, and two straight doubles. All six are ensuite with hot showers, and there are seven bathrooms on board for six cabins.

    She is properly equipped for diving. The specification lists a dive deck, a dedicated tender for diving, gear rental, and DIN or Yoke valve fittings, which matters if you bring your own regulator. Oxygen is carried as standard, which very few boats in this tier list at all.

    Navigation and safety run to radar, depth sounder, GPS, VHF, DSC and SSB radio, emergency rafts, life vests, fire extinguishers, a search light, first aid kits and marine charts.

    She cruises at around seven knots on 4,000 litres of fuel with 9,000 litres of fresh water, and the itineraries run up to nine days and eight nights on every one of her four rate cards.

      • 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.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Where does she sail besides Komodo?

      Alor, Bali, Sumbawa and Selayar, each with its own published rate card for leisure and diving. That makes her the only boat in this tier selling destinations beyond the park as a standard product rather than on request. Those itineraries start at four days rather than three.

      How much more do the other destinations 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.

      Does the price get cheaper on longer trips?

      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.

      How many people fit in each cabin?

      Four of the six cabins take three guests on a double bed plus a single: both upper-deck cabins and two of the four lower-deck cabins. The remaining two lower-deck cabins are straight doubles for two. That adds up to sixteen guests, and there are seven bathrooms on board for six cabins.

      What dive equipment does she carry?

      A dive deck, a tender dedicated to diving, gear rental, and DIN or Yoke valve fittings, which matters if you bring your own regulator. Oxygen is listed as standard equipment, which very few boats in this tier publish. Personal dive gear is rented separately.

      How fast does she sail?

      Around seven knots, the slowest published speed in this tier. On short Komodo loops that is not an issue, but on the Alor or Selayar itineraries it means more of the trip is spent under way, which is part of why those cards start at four days.

      What is the difference between the upper and lower deck cabins?

      Position rather than fit-out. Both upper-deck cabins have a double plus a single for three guests, the same as two of the four lower-deck cabins. All six are ensuite with hot showers and air conditioning. Upper deck gets better light and less engine noise, so ask for it if that matters.

      What is not included in the price?

      Flights, hotels and meals in Labuan Bajo, personal dive gear which can be rented, travel and dive accident insurance, alcohol and personal expenses, Komodo National Park entrance fees, photo and video documentation, and crew tips. Dive guides, tanks and weight belts are included on diving packages.
