Komodo Islands Yacht Charter

The famous three-bay ridge — a pre-dawn climb of about ten minutes from the anchorage for the postcard view.

One of a handful of pink-sand beaches on Earth; snorkel the reef straight off the bow before the day boats arrive from Labuan Bajo.

Trek with a park ranger to see the dragons in the wild — Rinca is quieter than Komodo for the same beasts.

Reef mantas feed on the current at Karang Makassar — usually four or five, snorkel or dive on the incoming tide.

When is the best time to charter in Komodo?

April to October — the dry season — offers the calmest seas, golden landscapes and the most reliable manta sightings. Charters run year-round, but the dry months are the most comfortable.

How many days do I need for a Komodo charter?

A typical Komodo charter is 4 to 7 nights out of Labuan Bajo, which comfortably covers Padar, Pink Beach, the dragons at Komodo or Rinca, and Manta Point with time to dive and relax.

Where do Komodo charters depart from?

From Labuan Bajo on the western tip of Flores, reached by a short flight from Bali (about 75 minutes). Your vessel boards in the harbour and sails the same afternoon.

What kind of yachts charter Komodo?

Traditional Indonesian phinisi are the signature choice, alongside luxury motor yachts and expedition vessels. All come fully crewed with a chef, guide and diving or snorkelling equipment.

Can I see the Komodo dragons?

Yes — a guided ranger walk on Komodo or Rinca Island is part of every itinerary. The dragons are wild; rangers manage a safe distance.
