    Sea Familia 1 phinisi exterior in Komodo National Park

    Sea Familia 1

    Three cabins have their own bathroom and three share, which the operator states rather than rounds up

    Cruising Areas

    Komodo

    Sea Familia 1 has one of the clearest dive-versus-leisure splits among the boats in this batch. Leisure charters follow the standard Komodo combination of trekking, snorkeling, beach and wildlife stops, while dedicated dive packages can run three to four dives per day and name sites across central and northern Komodo. A tender supports water operations, and longer dive routes include Batu Bolong, Castle Rock, Crystal Rock, Shotgun/Cauldron, Tatawa Kecil, Mawan, Siaba Besar, Manta Point and Three Sisters. Because half the guest bathrooms are shared, cabin selection still matters even when the route itself is the main reason to book.

    Who This Suits

    Best suited to groups choosing between a classic leisure Komodo itinerary and a longer dive-focused trip. Divers get published site-level itineraries; leisure guests should note that the detailed vessel specification lists a mix of private and shared bathrooms across the six cabins.

    About This Vessel

    Sea Familia 1 is a 25-metre wooden liveaboard built in 2019 from ulin ironwood and teak. It has six air-conditioned cabins and is normally sold for 12 guests, with an extra-bed configuration bringing the published private-charter maximum to 13. The vessel is one of the clearer mixed-use boats in this batch because it has both leisure itineraries and dedicated multi-day diving packages.

    The six cabins are grouped into four Manta Rooms and two Turtle Rooms. Bathroom privacy is not uniform: the published specification states that three cabins have private bathrooms and three use shared bathrooms. That distinction is important for buyers and is why this listing does not claim that every room is ensuite. Onboard facilities include a jacuzzi, paddleboard, karaoke/music system and Wi-Fi, although the connectivity source does not specify 4G versus satellite service.

    For diving trips, Sea Familia 1 publishes three to four dives per day with tanks and weights included, supported by the vessel tender. Its documented Komodo routes name Batu Bolong, Castle Rock, Crystal Rock, Shotgun/Cauldron, Tatawa Kecil, Mawan, Siaba Besar, Manta Point and Three Sisters among the sites used across longer programs. Those named sites are the basis for the dive-site taxonomy on this page.

    Sea Familia 1 works best for travellers who are comfortable checking the exact bathroom arrangement of their cabin and who value a genuine dive-capable itinerary over resort-scale accommodation. Leisure charters remain available for non-diving groups, but the vessel's strongest differentiator is the ability to switch into a proper dive program rather than simply carrying a mask and snorkel.
