Every itinerary is built around your schedule; park charges are quoted separately.

Planning dates? Guests who booked through our reservations desk in 2026 confirmed about two months ahead; our booking-pattern notes and the Komodo charter calendar 2027 map when to go and when to book.
Whether you book it as a Komodo boat charter or a full yacht charter, every boat rental in Komodo with us is whole-vessel: crew, private chef and fuel are always included, while Komodo National Park tickets are registered by our desk for your sailing dates and listed as their own line on the invoice; since 22 September 2026 the park allows entry only on the e-ticket date.
A Komodo yacht charter is a private, crewed boat rental from Labuan Bajo into Komodo National Park — dragons, Padar, Pink Beach and manta sites on one itinerary. Private charters run USD 1,800–30,000 per night depending on vessel class; our own liveaboards are quoted as one package total for the whole boat, by duration and guest band.

Destination Highlights
Komodo National Park covers about 1,733 km² of islands and sea in its UNESCO listing (some official summaries cite up to 1,817 km²), of which roughly 603 km² is land. Three major islands anchor the map - Komodo, Rinca and Padar - surrounded by dozens of smaller islands and reefs, with Labuan Bajo on Flores as the only gateway port. This page is the working map: where everything sits, how the park is zoned, how far each spot is from Labuan Bajo, and the distances between spots that decide your route order.
Read the park west to east, the way every boat does:
These are the working numbers our crews use daily, rounded; actual times shift with sea state, tide and vessel. Speedboat means a modern fast boat; phinisi means a traditional sailing yacht at cruising speed.
| From Labuan Bajo to | Distance | Speedboat | Phinisi |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kelor Island | ±10 km | 25-30 min | 1-1.5 hr |
| Kanawa Island | ±15 km | 30-45 min | ±1.5 hr |
| Sebayur Island | ±17 km | ±45 min | 1.5-2 hr |
| Kalong Island | ±20 km | 45-60 min | ±2 hr |
| Rinca Island (Loh Buaya) | ±22 km | 45-60 min | ±2 hr |
| Padar Island | ±30 km | 1-1.5 hr | ±3 hr |
| Siaba Island | ±33 km | ±1.5 hr | 3-3.5 hr |
| Pink Beach (Komodo) | ±35 km | ±1.5 hr | ±3.5 hr |
| Manta Point (Karang Makassar) | ±35 km | ±1.5 hr | ±3.5 hr |
| Taka Makassar | ±36 km | 1.5-2 hr | 3.5-4 hr |
| Batu Bolong | ±37 km | 1.5-2 hr | ±4 hr |
| Komodo Island (Loh Liang) | ±40 km | ±2 hr | 4-4.5 hr |
The central cluster is tight - the expensive miles are getting out there, not moving between spots:
| Leg | Speedboat time |
|---|---|
| Padar → Pink Beach | 30-40 min |
| Pink Beach → Loh Liang (Komodo) | 20-30 min |
| Taka Makassar → Manta Point | 10-15 min |
| Manta Point → Siaba | ±20 min |
| Kelor → Rinca (Loh Buaya) | 30-40 min |
| Rinca → Kalong (sunset leg) | ±20 min |
That geometry produces the two classic routes: the day-trip loop (Padar sunrise → Pink Beach → Manta Point → Taka Makassar → home) and the 3D2N lap, which adds Rinca or Loh Liang dragon treks, a Kalong sunset and empty golden-hour swims at Siaba - the reason most guests who can spare two nights choose a 3D2N sailing itinerary. Plan ahead: most guests reserve about two months before departure.
The park authority divides Komodo's waters and islands into zones, and your captain routes around them: core and wilderness zones (fully protected, no visitor landing), tourism-use zones (the landings and dive sites on this page), traditional-use and settlement zones (local fishing grounds and the villages inside the park), plus pelagic and research zones. Entry is set under Government Regulation No. 36/2024 as displayed by the Balai, IDR 250,000 per international visitor per day; current rates and the changelog are on our entrance fees page.
Wild Komodo dragons live on five areas of the map: Komodo Island, Rinca, the small islands of Gili Motang and Nusa Kode, and parts of western Flores outside the park. Padar has no resident population, and the beach-and-reef islands (Kelor, Kanawa, Sebayur, Siaba, Taka Makassar) are dragon-free visitor sites. Treks to see them run from two ranger stations only: Loh Liang on Komodo and Loh Buaya on Rinca. For the species itself - size, venom, behavior - see the Komodo dragon encyclopedia.
Labuan Bajo (airport code LBJ) is the sole gateway: about 1 hour 10 minutes by air from Bali, with the harbor ten minutes from the terminal. There is no airstrip inside the park and no ferry-hopping shortcut worth planning around - every spot above is reached by boat from Labuan Bajo, which is why the distance tables, not the flight, shape your itinerary.
Komodo Luxury (PT Komodo Bahari Nusantara, operating since 2015) runs daily departures from Labuan Bajo with a fleet of 9 owned phinisi and more than 200 vetted partner yachts, rated 4.9/5 by over 1,500 guests. Itineraries are private-guide led and priced in USD. Reach the team on WhatsApp at +62 811-3823-875 or at [email protected].
The distances above are constant; the comfort of covering them is not. In the dry season (April-November) the southeast trades blow steadily, the central channel stays workable and the classic loops run daily. In the northwest-wind months (roughly January-February) crews re-order the same map - sheltering behind Rinca's east coast, favoring lee-side landings like Siaba and the gateway islands, and running the exposed Padar-Pink Beach leg in the morning calm. The park never closes; the route order just rotates around the wind, which is exactly the judgment call you hire a local captain for. Divers read the map by season too: the central channel fires year-round, while the plankton-rich months around December-March bring the manta aggregations to Karang Makassar at their densest.
The park is a lived-in landscape, not an empty one: Komodo village sits on Komodo Island's east coast, Papagarang and Rinca villages on their own islands, all inside traditional-settlement zones that predate the park. Their fishing platforms and colorful boats are part of the seascape you cruise through, and several of our routes pass close enough for guests to understand the park as these communities' home waters - another reason routes follow the zoning map rather than straight lines.
About 1,733 km² in the UNESCO listing (some official summaries cite up to 1,817 km²), of which roughly 603 km² is land spread over Komodo, Rinca, Padar and dozens of smaller islands.
Komodo Island, Rinca, Gili Motang and Nusa Kode inside the park, plus parts of western Flores outside it. Visitor treks run only from Loh Liang (Komodo) and Loh Buaya (Rinca).
About 40 km to the Loh Liang ranger station: roughly 2 hours by speedboat or 4-4.5 hours by phinisi at cruising speed.
You can see the central cluster - Padar, Pink Beach, Manta Point, Taka Makassar - in one long day. Dragon treks plus the outer sites need at least two nights on the water.
Yes - the central channel holds the marquee sites: Manta Point (Karang Makassar), Batu Bolong and Siaba, all within 15-20 minutes of each other by speedboat.
