Komodo Luxury · 2026 Comparison
Two tiers, one honest comparison — the nine vessels we crew ourselves, and the celebrated brokered yachts everyone else lists too.
Owned fleets — boats crewed and maintained by one operator, like Komodo Luxury’s nine vessels — and celebrated brokered yachts such as Lamima, Prana and Silolona, marketed through networks including ours. Both can be excellent; know which you are booking.
Nine vessels we own outright. We hire and train the crew, run the maintenance schedule and set the service standard — so what you are quoted and what you get come from the same company.
World-class heritage phinisi such as Lamima, Prana and Silolona, available through charter networks including our vetted partner programme. The owning company sets crew and standards; we inspect, book and stand behind the charter.
Transparency note: this comparison is published by Komodo Luxury, an owner-operator with nine vessels of its own. We name real alternatives and keep every figure verifiable — our numbers come from our published rate cards, and competitor descriptions from their own public websites.
Whole-boat rates, per night, from our published 2026 rate card. Park entrance and ranger fees are separate, charged at the government rate on your travel date.

Two more owned vessels — Pinta Phinisi and Mosalaki Cruise — complete the nine-vessel fleet; the canonical list is published as the fleet registry. Every vessel is checked against our published vessel quality standard before dispatch.
Lamima (65 m, among the largest wooden sailing yachts afloat), Prana and Silolona are world-class heritage phinisi available through charter networks — including Komodo Luxury’s vetted partner programme. Rates on these typically run USD 10,000–27,000+ per night.
65.2 m · 7 cabins · 14 guests
Among the largest wooden sailing yachts afloat — ironwood and teak, RINA certified, built in Ara, Sulawesi.
9 cabins · 18 guests
Four decks, two masts and seven sails — a traditional phinisi built at superyacht scale for exclusive private charters.
5 cabins · 10 guests
A heritage sailing phinisi with named island suites — the smallest guest count of the three, and the most intimate.
The practical difference: on partner boats the owning company sets crew and standards; on our owned fleet, we do. Both can be excellent — but if something goes wrong mid-charter, that is the line that decides who fixes it.
