Whether you’re a diver, honeymooner, or nature-lover, a luxury liveaboard offers the most exclusive and rewarding way to explore Komodo. Here’s why.

What Is a Luxury Liveaboard?

A luxury liveaboard is a high-end yacht—often a traditional Indonesian phinisi—that acts as a floating five-star hotel. These vessels are designed for small groups, private charters, or individual guests who want to explore the remote wonders of Komodo without sacrificing comfort.

Features include:

  • Spacious, air-conditioned cabins with ensuite bathrooms
  • Gourmet meals prepared by onboard chefs
  • On-deck lounges, spas, jacuzzis, and yoga spaces
  • Expert diving and snorkeling guides
  • Personal itineraries and flexible schedules

Komodo Luxury liveaboards are ideal for travelers who want to experience the park’s magic—before the day boats arrive and after they’ve left.

  • Manta rays, reef sharks, and turtles

Exclusive Anchorages and Secluded Beauty

Luxury yachts can access hidden coves, pink-sand beaches, and remote islands that day boats can’t reach. You’ll sleep under the stars in protected bays, swim in crystal-clear lagoons, and wake up to silence.

No trip is complete without trekking the rugged trails of Komodo or Rinca Island to witness the legendary Komodo dragon in its natural habitat. With a liveaboard, you can arrive early and beat the crowds for a more intimate and less rushed experience.
