    Ta’Talasa expedition phinisi cruising beneath volcanic hills in Komodo

    Ta'Talasa

    Ten crew for six guests, with recreational scuba equipment already inside the charter rather than rented alongside it

    Cruising Areas

    Komodo

    Komodo operates mainly from April to November, usually from Labuan Bajo. The operator recommends at least three nights and shapes private routes around dragons, mantas, current-swept reefs, volcanic islands and the group's diving or leisure priorities.

    Raja Ampat, Banda & Remote Indonesia

    Raja Ampat, Halmahera and East Flores–Alor generally start from five nights; Banda Sea and other long passages start from seven. Exact port, season, route, fuel allowance and permit requirements are confirmed in the live proposal.

    Who This Suits

    Ta'Talasa is best suited to small private groups and dive-led families or friends who want an intimate expedition boat rather than a high-capacity luxury yacht. Three ensuite cabins, a 10-person crew, Starlink, Nitrox, kayaks and paddleboards allow divers and non-divers to share the same charter without forcing everyone into the same daily activity.

    About This Vessel

    Ta'Talasa is a 36-metre expedition phinisi built by hand in South Sulawesi during 2023–2024 and launched in 2025. Her three air-conditioned ensuite cabins accommodate six guests plus two additional berths, with a crew of ten including the cruise director.

    The 25-square-metre Bugis Cabin has a king bed and a separate single berth. The 13-square-metre Asmat Cabin has a queen bed with a retractable single berth, while the 13-square-metre Dayak Cabin has a queen bed. Each cabin has a private bathroom, air conditioning and portholes.

    Ta'Talasa is designed for bespoke whole-vessel expeditions, with selected cabin or individual-place departures offered separately. The onboard dive setup includes a Bauer compressor, a Nitrox membrane, 11-litre and 15-litre tanks, rental equipment and two tenders. Recreational scuba equipment is included for charter guests; Nitrox and 15-litre tanks are charged separately.

    The operator's active 2026 rate is EUR 4,200 per night before 11% VAT. Komodo is recommended from three nights, while Raja Ampat and most remote regions start from five nights and Banda Sea programs from seven. The converted listing price includes the mandatory VAT; final currency conversion and any route-specific fuel surcharge must be confirmed in the signed quote.

    Starlink is available when in range. Kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, snorkeling, shore excursions, meals, non-alcoholic drinks, embarkation-day transfers, marine park fees and port fees are included under the current published charter terms.
