Everything you need to know about planning your luxury Indonesian tour with complete confidence.

You can book Elbark Cruise through Komodo Luxury. Simply send your preferred dates, number of guests, and trip type (open trip or private charter), and our team will confirm availability and secure your booking via email or WhatsApp.

Elbark Cruise is a modern-built phinisi launched in October 2022, measuring 37 metres in length with a 6.8‑metre beam and 167 GT. The yacht combines traditional Indonesian craftsmanship in ironwood and teak with contemporary design for a smooth and elegant sailing experience.

Booking Elbark Cruise through Komodo Luxury gives you personalised service, operator‑direct pricing, and payment protection. Our team coordinates every detail—transfers, onboard arrangements, and activities—so you can simply enjoy your trip. We also offer concierge services and extensions in destinations like Bali and Raja Ampat, allowing you to plan your entire Indonesia journey in one place.
For travellers who prefer boutique space over crowded big boats, Elbark is excellent value. With a maximum of 21 guests across 9 cabins, there is more room per person than on many Labuan Bajo phinisi in a similar price band, plus a jacuzzi master suite and an onboard documentation team (drone, GoPro, mirrorless) included. Komodo Luxury books Elbark at operator‑direct pricing with full concierge support.
The best time is generally from April to October, when seas are calmer and visibility at Manta Point and Pink Beach is at its best. Elbark sails year‑round, but June–September is peak season, so both open‑trip cabins and private charters for these dates should ideally be booked 1–2 months in advance.
