Cruising Areas

Private Komodo charter

Whole boat

Komodo is the dry-season programme out of Labuan Bajo, roughly May to September.

Route details

On a boat carrying four guests the itinerary is genuinely flexible: anchorages are chosen around what the party wants rather than a fixed rotation, and the standard points — Padar, Pink Beach, Manta Point, the Rinca ranger trek, Kalong at dusk for the flying foxes — can be timed to avoid the day-boat traffic entirely.

Private Raja Ampat charter

Whole boat

Raja Ampat runs the opposite half of the year out of Sorong, roughly November to April.

Route details

Distances between anchorages are longer and the schedule follows tide and light.

With only two cabins the boat can sit at a site for as long as the guests want, which suits photographers and honeymooners more than groups working through a dive list.

Who This Suits

Suits: couples, honeymooners and anyone whose priority is privacy over space to spread out. Eleven crew for two guests is an unusual ratio, and the master cabin with its own terrace and swim platform means a couple can spend a whole charter without sharing deck space with anyone.

Less suited to: groups. Four is the hard ceiling and the second cabin is on the lower deck, so a party of four is not sharing equally. Divers wanting volume are better served by a larger boat, though the compressor and nitrox blender are on board.

About This Vessel

Senja is a 31-metre phinisi launched in 2021 and built, like the rest of the Pacific High fleet, at the company's yard in Bira, South Sulawesi. She is the smallest-capacity boat in that fleet and deliberately so: a single 25-square-metre master cabin occupies most of the main deck, with one convertible guest cabin below for a second couple or children. Two to four guests, eleven crew including a cruise director.

The master cabin is the argument for the boat. It runs the full width of the main deck, wraps around with windows for 360-degree views, and opens onto a private terrace with its own fridge, sunbed, dining table and bathing platform with an outdoor shower, so guests can get into the sea without crossing the rest of the yacht. The ensuite has a rainforest shower, robes and a hair dryer. The upper deck takes a sunbed and doubles as a yoga and outdoor cinema space.

Mechanically she matches her sisters: ironwood and teak superstructure, 260 HP engine, 25 and 15 KVA generators, a 5,000 litre-a-day watermaker, seven knots average. Diving is well equipped for a boat this small, with a 325-litre compressor, a nitrox blender, scuba gear and a free-diving buoy and line, plus a 5.5-metre RIB with a 100 HP outboard. Onboard extras run to an espresso machine, ice maker, movie projector, photographer desk, yoga mats and a massage therapist.

Twenty-five square metres running the width of the main deck, which on a 31-metre boat means this cabin is effectively the whole top floor. Windows wrap the room, so the view is continuous rather than framed by a porthole, and the king bed at 200 x 200 faces it. French doors lead out to a terrace belonging to the cabin alone: fridge, sunbed, table, and a bathing platform with an outdoor shower, so guests reach the water without walking through the boat. The bathroom has a rainforest shower, robes, a hair dryer and organic toiletries.

Below deck, and sized as a second room rather than an equal to the master. The bed is 180 x 200 and splits into two singles when that suits the party better, which makes it as useful for children as for a second couple. Air-conditioned, with a private bathroom and a full-size shower.

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. Amounts are payable in rupiah; dollar figures are courtesy estimates converted at Rp 17,900 and rounded.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many guests can Senja take?

Four. Two in the main-deck master cabin and two in the convertible lower-deck guest cabin. She is built and priced around couples, with the second cabin as an option rather than the norm.

What does the master cabin include?

Twenty-five square metres on the main deck with a king bed, 360-degree windows, air conditioning and an ensuite with a rainforest shower. It opens onto a private terrace with fridge, sunbed, dining table and a bathing platform with an outdoor shower.

Can we dive from Senja?

Yes. She carries a 325-litre dive compressor, a nitrox blender system, scuba equipment and a free-diving buoy and line, with guided diving for all levels. Dive insurance is mandatory and courses are charged separately.

Is there internet on board?

The operator lists wifi when in range rather than satellite internet, so coverage depends on the cruising area. Expect it to work around Labuan Bajo and to drop out in remote Raja Ampat and Banda anchorages.

Can we book a single cabin?

The rate table lists private whole-boat packages. An individual cabin or berth enquiry requires a separate confirmed offer from the operator. See Rates & Packages in Cabins & Pricing for trip lengths, units and conditions. Confirm the chosen departure and cabin allocation before payment.
