    The Oracle phinisi in Indonesian waters

    The Oracle

    Both suites carry their own projector, so a film night does not mean everyone down in the lounge

    Cruising Areas

    Komodo

    The current lowest published Komodo program is four days from Labuan Bajo at USD 20,812 for the vessel, including government tax and national park fees. The route is adapted to weather and tides and may combine dragon trekking, Padar, manta sites, reefs, beaches and quiet anchorages.

    Raja Ampat & Eastern Indonesia

    Raja Ampat operates seasonally from Sorong, while longer crossings can connect Komodo, Alor, Banda and the Spice Islands. Route length, port, repositioning and any fuel surcharge are confirmed in the current proposal.

    Who This Suits

    Who The Oracle suits

    Two or three couples travelling together. Six guests, three cabins, and two of the three are genuinely equal above-deck suites. Nobody in the group draws the short straw, which is the usual friction on a shared charter.

    People who care about the room, not just the boat. Above-deck suites with panoramic windows and private terraces are rare on a phinisi. If waking up to a view from the bed matters, this is one of the few vessels that delivers it.

    Guests who want hotel service standards. The owners run Blue Karma Secrets in Bali and the crew ratio reflects it: ten people for six guests, with a masseuse on staff and a massage per person per day included rather than one per cruise.

    Divers who want the whole park. The seven-night Komodo itinerary covers both the northern pinnacles and the southern cold-water sites at Nusa Kode, and diving, gear and park fees are all inside the rate.

    Who it suits less well

    Groups larger than six. Hard ceiling, three cabins, no extra berths published. A party of eight cannot charter her.

    Anyone wanting a cabin rather than the boat. Whole-vessel charter only. Two people pay the same as six.

    Guests expecting superyacht amenities. No jacuzzi, no gym, no spa room, one compressor-load of tanks. The luxury is space, service and the cabins, not the toy inventory.

    Late cancellers. The terms are strict: forty per cent refunded at ninety days out, nothing inside eighty-nine.

    About This Vessel

    The Oracle is a 35-metre private phinisi launched in 2019 and designed for small groups. Two above-deck suites accommodate four guests in equal comfort, while a third lower-deck Luxe Room adds space for up to two additional guests. The current operator page describes a maximum of six guests supported by a crew of ten.

    The First Suite Room sits on the upper deck with a king bed, panoramic windows, blackout blinds, marine air conditioning and a projector. The Second Suite Room mirrors that comfort on a different deck and adds a private sea-view terrace. The lower-deck Luxe Room has a double bed in a quieter, more enclosed setting. Each cabin has a private bathroom and eco-conscious toiletries.

    Shared spaces include a 36-square-metre indoor lounge and bar, a 19-square-metre sundeck with daybeds, shaded outdoor dining and a long foredeck. The equipment list includes paddleboards, two-seater sea kayaks, waterskiing, a mini wakeboard, snorkeling gear and diving for certified guests. Starlink is available, and the current FAQ includes up to three massages per day across the group.

    Komodo runs seasonally from Labuan Bajo, while Raja Ampat and wider eastern Indonesia operate from their appropriate gateways and weather windows. The current lowest published 2026 Komodo program is four days, with a total of USD 20,812 for the vessel. This total includes government tax and national park fees; peak-date and repositioning supplements may still apply.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I book a single cabin on The Oracle?

    No. She is sold as a whole-vessel private charter across all three cabins. The rate is the same whether two guests sail or six, so the per-person figure shown here assumes a full boat.

    What is the minimum charter length?

    Three nights in Komodo and five nights in Raja Ampat. Komodo is USD 6,250 a night for the whole vessel and Raja Ampat USD 6,800, both before eleven per cent Indonesian VAT. Published Komodo itineraries run at three, four and seven nights; Raja Ampat is normally seven.

    Is diving included?

    Yes, for certified divers, along with all dive equipment and up to twelve scuba tanks. A dive master sails with the crew of ten. PADI certification courses are not included and need arranging in advance.

    Are the Komodo national park fees included?

    Yes. Park entrance fees are inside the charter rate, as are two-way airport transfers, all meals and non-alcoholic drinks, both tenders, all watersports equipment and one massage per person per day.

    What is the cabin layout?

    Three cabins for six guests. Two are above deck with panoramic windows and private terraces; the third is below deck. All three have king beds on full latex mattresses, ensuite bathrooms, marine air conditioning, a sound system and a video projector.

    Where does she sail and when?

    Komodo National Park and Flores from May to October, joining in Labuan Bajo. Raja Ampat and Papua from November to April, joining in Sorong. Repositioning fees apply to one-way trips or itineraries that start away from the seasonal home port.

    What is the cancellation policy?

    Strict. Ninety days or more before departure returns forty per cent of what you have paid; from eighty-nine days to departure there is no refund. Private charters can be rescheduled up to a hundred days out. Booking is fifty per cent on invoice with the balance due ninety days before the trip.
