Refviero is used for short-format Komodo cruising from Labuan Bajo, with current private rates published for 2D1N, 3D2N and 4D3N and shared 3D2N cabin sales also available. The 15-guest capacity and four cabin classes make it a compact option for groups that want a whole boat without moving into the largest luxury tier. Published itineraries focus on trekking, snorkeling, manta-viewing and island stops rather than a specialist dive schedule. Wi-Fi is listed as part of the package, while the safety specification is unusually detailed for this class. Exact stop order changes with weather, tides and local operating conditions.
A practical choice for travelers who want a scheduled 3D2N Komodo trip with a true four-berth sharing option as well as private double cabins. The itinerary is activity-heavy but not positioned as a dedicated diving liveaboard. Confirm the current cabin count with the operator, as published descriptions differ.
Refviero is a compact 24.51-metre Komodo phinisi with published cabin categories and capacity for up to 15 guests with extra beds. The current 2026 private-charter rate card stops at 4D3N, making Refviero a short-format option rather than a boat aimed at week-long expeditions. Propulsion is by a Mitsubishi 8DC9 rated at 290 HP, and published specifications place cruising speed at roughly 9 to 10 knots.
The current operator website says four cabins, while the referenced seller material lists a Master Cabin, two Deluxe Cabins on different decks, a Superior Cabin and a Sharing Cabin. This discrepancy is unresolved; the five room entries below describe the seller inventory and are not a confirmed current physical layout. Air conditioning is standard across the published cabin set. This mix lets a private group allocate rooms by comfort level, while selected shared departures can sell individual cabin space. With fewer cabin categories than many larger luxury phinisi, the buying decision is relatively simple and the vessel is easier to understand at a glance.
Refviero's technical and safety information is better documented than its marketing copy suggests. The published equipment list includes two liferafts, AIS, Garmin GPS, EPIRB/distress signals, emergency oxygen, first-aid equipment, fire extinguishers and radio communications. Wi-Fi is listed among the package inclusions, although the source does not identify whether the connection is local cellular service or satellite; KomodoInsider therefore does not label it as Starlink or 4G in the structured internet field.
The boat operates from Labuan Bajo for Komodo itineraries built around trekking, snorkeling and island-hopping. It fits travellers who want a shorter private charter, a moderate-size group capacity and clear cabin differentiation. It is less suitable for buyers specifically looking for a dedicated dive-liveaboard setup with published Nitrox, compressor and dive-guide ratios.
Upper-deck Master Cabin for two guests plus one extra bed, with queen bed, private ensuite bathroom, air conditioning, private balcony and sea view.
Upper-deck Deluxe Cabin for two guests plus one extra bed, with queen bed, private ensuite bathroom, air conditioning and private balcony.
Main-deck Deluxe Cabin for two guests plus one extra bed, with queen bed, private ensuite bathroom, air conditioning and private balcony.
Lower-deck Superior Cabin for two guests plus one extra bed, with queen bed, private ensuite bathroom and air conditioning.
The 3D2N sharing package includes Labuan Bajo transfers, full-board accommodation, shore excursions, three meals daily, water/coffee/tea, snacks and juice, canoe/paddle board use, snorkeling equipment, documentation, tour guide and Wi-Fi. Flights, Labuan Bajo hotel, insurance, alcohol, personal expenses, gratuities and Komodo National Park entrance fees are excluded.
