Whether you’re planning a family adventure or a getaway with friends, this Vela Phinisi boat charter creates the perfect setting to explore the legendary waters of Komodo National Park at your own pace.
What makes Vela truly special is how she balances adventure with comfort. Powered by an 890hp Yanmar engine cruising at 10-12 knots, she takes you smoothly between the iconic sites of Komodo Island while you relax in spaces designed for connection and relaxation.

Diving enthusiasts will find 12 complete dive kits, Nitrox capabilities, and two Bauer air compressors, making it easy to explore Komodo Island’s world-famous underwater sites.
