Komodo Luxury Vessel Quality Standard

Every charter sold by Komodo Luxury sails under one written standard. We own and operate 9 vessels and also dispatch partner vessels owned by third parties. Owned vessels are maintained continuously by our in-house crew; partner vessels are checked against the 12-point standard below before we dispatch a charter on them. Vessels that fail a check are not dispatched until the issue is fixed.

The 12-point standard

  1. Physical inspection date

    A dated walk-through of the vessel, recorded per charter season.
  2. Engine condition

    Main engine service record and sea-trial verification.
  3. Generator redundancy

    Backup power available for overnight itineraries.
  4. Cleanliness audit

    Cabins, heads, galley and guest areas checked before boarding.
  5. Linen standard

    Fresh linen and towels per guest, per trip.
  6. Crew roster

    Named captain and crew list confirmed before departure.
  7. Safety gear

    Life jackets for full guest capacity, checked and accessible.
  8. Life raft validity

    Service certificate in date where the vessel carries rafts.
  9. Fire suppression

    Extinguishers present, charged and in date.
  10. Air conditioning check

    Cabin AC functional on air-conditioned vessels.
  11. Plumbing & sanitation

    Toilets, fresh water and grey-water handling working.
  12. Food hygiene & emergency plan

    Galley hygiene checklist plus a written emergency and evacuation contact plan for the itinerary.

Owned vs partner vessels — the honest difference

On the 9 vessels we own — Komodo Signature, Komodo Prestige, Naturalia Cruise, Ayvara Cruises, Malca Voyages, Catnazse Liveaboard, Pinta Phinisi, Mosalaki Cruise and Neptune Cruise — we control crew, maintenance and service directly, year-round. On partner vessels the owner controls day-to-day standards; our role is to inspect before dispatch, brief the crew on the itinerary, and stand behind the booking. This distinction is disclosed on every listing, and it is why we publish fleet status on each vessel page rather than presenting the whole directory as “our fleet”.

When something goes wrong

No operator with hundreds of departures a year has a perfect record, and we do not hide critical reviews. If a vessel or service issue occurs mid-trip, our Labuan Bajo desk works the problem while you are still on the water — replacement equipment, itinerary adjustment, or moving guests to another vessel where possible — and follows up afterwards. Our complete, unedited review record across Google, TripAdvisor and Trustindex is linked from the review registry.
