Catnazse Liveaboard 3D2N Review — Why It Is Komodo Luxury’s Highest-Revenue Charter

Zuletzt aktualisiert: Juli 2026 · Preise und Verfügbarkeit für die Saison 2026/2027 überprüft

Zuletzt aktualisiert im Juli 2026

Catnazse Liveaboard is a private-charter liveaboard running 3D2N Komodo itineraries priced at USD 5,200-13,050 per trip. Operated by Komodo Luxury, a luxury yacht charter operator based in Bali with operations in Labuan Bajo, Catnazse ranks fourth in bookings yet first in total revenue thanks to its private-only, high-value format.

Here is a number most Komodo travel blogs will never show you: across 858 real bookings analysed by Komodo Luxury, Catnazse sits only fourth in booking volume, 114 charters, behind Ayvara’s 185, Naturalia’s 134, and Malca’s 126, yet it generates the single highest revenue of any vessel in the fleet, at IDR 4.68 billion. That is the Catnazse paradox, and it is the most honest way to understand what this actually is: not the boat most people book, but the boat serious groups book when they want the whole vessel to themselves.

There are no cabin-by-cabin sales here and no strangers at the dinner table. A 3D2N private charter runs USD 5,200-13,050 for the entire boat, depending on season and configuration, a different universe from the fleet’s Shared Trip departures. One Catnazse charter is worth roughly seven typical Open/Shared Trip bookings. Fewer sales, far bigger tickets: that is how #4 in volume becomes #1 in revenue.

This review is written from that operator-side data, not from a single influencer weekend. You will see exactly what the USD 5,200-13,050 range covers, how the 3D2N itinerary flows from Padar’s ridgeline to the dragons of Komodo and the manta channels, how Catnazse compares with Riley and the VIP liveaboard Ayvara, and the practical details, 50% deposit, balance due 14 days before departure, that 90% of our guests, mostly from Italy, France, Spain, the UK, and the US, ask about before confirming.

Das Wichtigste in Kürze

• Catnazse Liveaboard Komodo is a private-only charter designed for groups seeking spacious accommodation, greater stability, and exclusive use of the vessel without sharing onboard facilities with other travellers.
• Catnazse private charter rates start from USD 5,200 for a 1D trip and reach USD 13,050 for a 7D6N itinerary, with accommodation, meals, guide services, snorkelling equipment, documentation, and selected Labuan Bajo transfers included.
• The standard 3D2N journey combines Kelor Island, Manjarite, Kalong Island, Padar Island, Pink Beach, Komodo Island, Manta Point, Taka Makassar, and Sebayur Island, although the route may change according to weather and sea conditions.
• Catnazse is best suited to families, groups of friends, couples travelling together, and high-end or corporate groups, while early booking, a 50% deposit, separate park fees, and additional costs such as optional drone permits should be considered when planning.

Catnazse at a Glance: Specs, Layout, and What Makes This Different

Catnazse is a private liveaboard designed for travellers who value space, privacy, and a more exclusive way to explore Komodo National Park. The vessel is a modern-style liveaboard with multiple decks that create separate zones for dining, lounging, and sunbathing, so your group never feels crowded even when travelling with a full complement of guests.

Key features that shape your experience:

• Catnazse carries around 8 cabins with a mix of suite and deluxe categories, giving you flexibility to sleep couples, families, or friends without sacrificing privacy.
• The design combines indoor air-conditioned spaces with open decks where you can dine with sea breezes, watch sunset at Kalong, or enjoy early-morning coffee as you approach Padar.
• The hull offers better stability than many single-hull vessels, which you will feel when sailing across open channels between Padar, Komodo and Taka Makassar, especially if your group includes older guests or children.

Because Catnazse is sold as a full private charter, you never share the common areas with other parties; what you see on the deck and in the dining room is always your own group, your own music, and your own schedule within the standard Komodo routing. This is the foundation of why Catnazse Liveaboard Komodo attracts higher-spend groups who value privacy over squeezing the lowest price per person.

Catnazse 3D2N Private Charter Pricing: What Is Included

A Catnazse Komodo price for a private charter starts from USD 5,200 for 1D trips and ranges up to USD 13,050 for 7D6N Komodo itineraries, depending on duration, season, and selected charter configuration. The final rate may vary based on travel dates and specific booking requirements.

Because Catnazse is booked privately, the price covers the entire vessel rather than a single cabin. This means the most practical way to understand the cost is to divide the total charter rate by the number of guests in your group. The exact per-person amount depends on your group size, itinerary length, and confirmed charter rate. For this reason, it is recommended to request a tailored quotation rather than relying on a general estimate.

A standard Catnazse sailing experience includes:

• Bleiben Sie während der Fahrt an Bord Bootes
• Mahlzeiten während der Reise
• Mineralwasser, Kaffee und Tee während der Fahrt
• Guide services
• Snorkelling equipment
• Schwimmweste
• Premium documentation with Drone, GoPro, and Mirrorless camera (raw footage only)
• Pick-up and drop-off services from the hotel or airport to the meeting point (Labuan Bajo mainland area near the harbor only)

Pick-up is generally arranged between 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. for Catnazse bookings. Accommodation outside the Labuan Bajo mainland area, including other islands or the Manjaga area, is not covered for pick-up services.

The following costs are not included:

• Komodo National Park entrance fees (USD 50 for WNA / USD 25 for WNI)
• Flüge von und nach Labuan Bajo
• Besatzung
• Persönliche Ausgaben
• Alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages
• Persönliche Snacks
• Drone ticket for Komodo National Park (starting from USD 135, not mandatory, permit must be requested at least 7 days before the trip)

Komodo National Park fees are subject to change based on prevailing government regulations at the time of travel.

The Catnazse private trip cost should therefore be considered in two parts: the charter fee for the vessel itself, and the additional destination and personal expenses that vary depending on your group and travel preferences.

Day-by-Day: The 3D2N Komodo Itinerary Aboard Catnazse

The standard Catnazse itinerary covers several of Komodo National Park’s best-known islands, beaches, trekking routes, and snorkelling locations. Over three days and two nights, you will experience a combination of island exploration, wildlife encounters, underwater activities, scenic viewpoints, and time onboard. The itinerary below is a standard route. Destinations may change depending on weather, sea conditions, park access, and operational requirements. These adjustments are made to support guest safety and comfort.

Tag 1

Your Catnazse journey begins with a pick-up from your hotel in Labuan Bajo or Komodo International Airport. After boarding, the trip continues to Kelor Island for a short trek and panoramic views of the surrounding islands. The journey then proceeds to Manjarite, where you can enjoy your first snorkelling session in calm, clear waters. In the late afternoon, the experience continues toward Kalong Island to witness the sunset and the famous flying foxes leaving the mangroves. The day ends with dinner onboard and time to relax as the boat anchors for the night.

Tag 2

Day two is the most active part of the itinerary, covering several of Komodo’s signature highlights. The day begins with a trek to Padar Island’s viewpoint, followed by a visit to Pink Beach for swimming and photos. The journey continues to Komodo Island for a guided trek to observe Komodo dragons in their natural habitat. After lunch onboard, the trip moves to Manta Point for a chance to snorkel with manta rays, depending on natural conditions. The final stop is Taka Makassar, a shallow sandbank ideal for swimming, snorkelling, and aerial photography before returning to the boat for sunset, dinner, and overnight rest.

Tag 3

The final day is more relaxed and focuses on a last snorkelling experience at Sebayur Island. After enjoying the morning activities, guests return onboard for lunch while the yacht sails back toward Labuan Bajo. This final leg of the journey allows time to rest, reflect on the trip, and enjoy the surrounding ocean views. The itinerary concludes upon arrival in Labuan Bajo, marking the end of the 3D2N Komodo sailing experience.

Catnazse vs Riley vs Ayvara: Which Fits Your Group?

Komodo Luxury’s full Komodo boat charter fleet includes vessels at different price points and capacities, and for many groups the decision comes down to Catnazse versus other VIP boats such as Riley and Ayvara VIP liveaboard. Looking at the numbers helps clarify which yacht matches your priorities.komodoluxury+2

If you are choosing between a 3D2N private Komodo charter on Catnazse and a smaller phinisi like Riley, the trade-off is space and stability versus per-trip cost. Riley’s lower ticket value suits groups between 4 and 9 guests who want private use without stretching to six figures in rupiah, while Catnazse becomes more efficient when you fill more cabins and spread the charter cost across a larger party.

Between Catnazse Liveaboard Komodo and Ayvara VIP liveaboard, you are comparing a luxury yacht phinisi platform with a traditional phinisi hull; both offer premium cabins and curated itineraries, but Catnazse leans into its private-only format and revenue profile, whereas Ayvara mixes shared trip cabin sales with private buyouts. Your choice depends on whether you want your boat’s value concentrated in exclusive-use charters, or prefer the flexibility of a vessel that shifts between shared and private departures.

Who Charters Catnazse? Guest Profile and Group Types

Catnazse is most suitable for travellers who view the boat as a major part of the holiday rather than simply transportation between islands. Because the entire vessel is reserved privately, the experience works best when the value of privacy can be shared across a group.

Common Catnazse guest profiles include:

• Families Travelling Together
  Multi-generational families often prefer a private boat because they can travel at their own group pace. Parents, children, and extended family members can share meals and downtime without needing to coordinate with other guests.
• Groups of Friends
  Catnazse works well for groups celebrating a milestone, planning a reunion, or taking a private holiday together. The full-vessel format allows the group to enjoy the trip as a shared experience.
• Couples Travelling With Friends
  Two or more couples may find that a private charter offers better value than booking multiple premium cabins, especially when privacy and shared time are priorities.
• Corporate and Executive Groups
  Private charters can support team trips, leadership retreats, client experiences, and small corporate gatherings. The exclusive setting allows the group to spend time together away from crowded tourist areas.
• High-End Travellers Seeking Privacy
  Some guests prefer to avoid shared departures entirely. For them, the higher Catnazse private trip cost is justified by having the vessel reserved exclusively for their party.

Catnazse may be less suitable if you are travelling alone, as a couple, or with only one or two companions and do not need a private vessel. In that case, a shared trip cabin can provide access to the same core Komodo destinations at a much lower individual cost. You can compare Catnazse with the full Komodo boat charter fleet before deciding which vessel best matches your group.

Best Season and Booking Timeline

April through November is generally considered the prime sailing season for a Catnazse charter in Komodo. During these months, many travellers experience more favourable conditions for island activities, snorkelling, and multi-day sailing.

However, weather conditions can vary throughout the season. Sea conditions, wind, rainfall, and visibility are never identical from one departure to another. Therefore, even during the preferred travel period, itinerary adjustments may be required for safety and comfort.

For a private charter, booking early is important because the entire vessel must be available for your selected dates. Unlike an open/shared trip, where you may only need one cabin, a Catnazse reservation blocks the full boat for your group.

Komodo Luxury uses the following payment timeline:

• A 50% deposit is required to confirm the charter dates.
• The remaining 50% balance is due 14 days before departure.

For peak travel periods, it is advisable to begin planning several months in advance. This is particularly useful if your group has fixed international flight dates or requires a specific vessel.

Before paying the deposit, confirm:

• Your preferred travel dates
• Anzahl der Gäste
• Preferred charter duration
• Arrival and departure flights
• Any dietary requirements
• Any special celebration or group arrangements
• Whether you plan to use a drone in Komodo National Park

Early planning gives the team more time to coordinate the charter and advise you on the most suitable arrangement.

Extra Costs to Budget: Komodo National Park Fees and Add-Ons

The Catnazse charter price does not include Komodo National Park entrance fees. These fees are charged separately and may change according to government regulations in effect at the time of travel.

Current planning estimates start from:

• USD 50 per international visitor
• USD 25 per Indonesian visitor

The final amount may vary depending on applicable park rules, visit dates, and government pricing. Therefore, you should confirm the current fee when finalising your booking.

If you plan to operate a drone inside Komodo National Park, a separate drone ticket starts from USD 135. A permit request should be submitted at least seven days before the trip. Drone use is optional and is not required for the standard documentation package. Catnazse includes premium documentation using a drone, GoPro, and mirrorless camera, with raw footage provided. However, private drone operation is subject to park regulations and permit approval.

Other costs to budget for include:

• Return flights to Labuan Bajo
• Besatzung
• Alkoholische Getränke
• Additional drinks outside the standard inclusions
• Persönliche Snacks
• Personal travel expenses
• Reiseversicherung
• Accommodation before or after the sailing trip

Planning these expenses in advance will help you understand the complete cost of your Komodo holiday rather than focusing only on the base charter rate.
