    Six ensuite cabins, including three panoramic balcony suites

    Cruising Areas

    Komodo

    Senada is a six-cabin Komodo phinisi used for both scheduled shared trips and private charter. The route starts from Labuan Bajo and is designed around the national park’s land-and-water mix rather than a diving program: trekking, Komodo-dragon encounters, snorkeling, manta-viewing and beach stops are the core activities. Shared 3D2N departures are currently sold Friday–Sunday and Monday–Wednesday, with three cabin classes ranging from balcony suites to superior rooms. A private charter can take up to 18 guests using extra-bed configurations. Day-to-day stop order remains flexible around tides, sea state and park instructions.

    Who This Suits

    A strong option for larger families or groups because the six-cabin layout can stretch to 18 guests through extra beds while still keeping private bathrooms in every cabin. The trip is leisure-focused rather than a published dedicated diving program.

    About This Vessel

    Senada is a 30-metre Komodo phinisi with six ensuite cabins and capacity for up to 18 guests using the published extra-bed configurations. A Mitsubishi 8DC9 is listed as the main engine, cruising is approximately 8 to 10 knots, and the boat carries a crew of seven. Senada is offered for both shared 3D2N departures and whole-boat private charter.

    The six cabins are sold through three cabin classes. Three Panoramic Suite Balcony rooms provide the premium outdoor-space option, Deluxe Suite covers the middle tier, and Superior Suite is the lower-price entry. Queen beds are standard across the published classes, selected rooms can take an extra guest, and all six cabins have air conditioning, private bathrooms and hot showers.

    Common facilities include a large sundeck with bean bags, outdoor chill area, indoor dining room, water heater, refrigerator, TV, Bluetooth sound system, karaoke and canoe. The navigation list includes GPS, compass and marine radio, with SSB and VHF communications published in the equipment sheet. A liferaft and life jackets are also listed. No verified specialist dive infrastructure is published, so Senada remains classified as leisure-focused.

    For shared trips, Senada's main buying decision is cabin class and balcony access rather than a change in onboard service. For private groups, the 18-person maximum makes it viable for extended families and groups of friends that need six separate rooms. The verified operating focus is Komodo, with the vessel used for the standard combination of trekking, snorkeling, island-hopping and wildlife stops from Labuan Bajo.
