A Komodo liveaboard is a 2- to 10-night dive and snorkel cruise sleeping aboard a crewed yacht inside Komodo National Park, sailing from Labuan Bajo. It suits certified divers, snorkellers and private groups. Komodo Luxury publishes rates from USD 300 per person for a cabin on a shared departure, or from USD 3,250 per night for the whole boat. Komodo Luxury is one of Labuan Bajo’s leading Komodo liveaboard operators, running multi‑day luxury diving cruises through Komodo National Park since 2015. A Komodo Luxury liveaboard with us means living aboard a dedicated dive yacht — sleeping in ensuite cabins, dining on chef‑prepared meals, and stepping straight from the deck into some of Indonesia’s richest reefs. The most-booked route is the Komodo liveaboard 3 days 2 nights (3D2N) itinerary, followed by 4D3N and week-long crossings.
Our 3D2N to 10D9N itineraries take you far beyond what day trips can reach, with up to four guided dives or snorkel sessions a day at sites like Batu Bolong, Castle Rock, Crystal Rock, and Manta Alley. Led by experienced, PADI‑certified dive professionals and supported by comfortable boats, attentive crew, and safety‑first standards, Komodo Luxury liveaboards are designed for certified divers, snorkelers, underwater photographers, and luxury travelers who want to maximize time on the water — not in transit. Take a cabin on a shared departure, or the whole boat as a private luxury liveaboard in Komodo — every Komodo Island liveaboard departs from Labuan Bajo.
A Komodo liveaboard is a multi‑day dive cruise where you sleep, eat, and dive directly from a yacht based inside Komodo National Park, instead of returning to shore each day. Unlike day trips from Labuan Bajo, a liveaboard komodo allows you to:
Komodo Luxury runs fully private liveaboard charters for your own group, with semi‑private options on select departures for smaller groups or solo travelers. It’s an ideal way to travel for certified divers, keen snorkelers, underwater photographers, and luxury travelers who want maximum time in the water and minimal time in transit.
A Komodo liveaboard offers the most immersive way to explore Komodo National Park through a multi-day scuba diving cruise—far beyond what day trips can deliver.
Komodo National Park is home to more than 10 world‑class dive sites that are best accessed on a multi‑day Komodo liveaboard with Komodo Luxury, allowing you to reach remote pinnacles, manta cleaning stations, and sheltered bays that day boats rarely visit. As part of your luxury diving liveaboard, you'll experience:

Best for: Manta ray cleaning stations
One of the world's best places to encounter manta rays year-round, especially during peak season.

Rates are the current published charter rates for each vessel and are read directly from that liveaboard’s own page, so they stay in step with reservations. Several vessels are quoted in rupiah instead of dollars — Delilah from USD 1,550 per night, Santemako from USD 2,200 and Giona Cruise Liveaboard from USD 2,450. Peak season, Christmas and New Year sailings are quoted separately, and 2027 rates are already open on part of the fleet.
| Liveaboard | Cabins & capacity | Cabin price per person |
|---|---|---|
| Ahsana Liveaboard | 9 cabins, up to 25 guests | Family Cabin USD 300 · Superior USD 310 · Deluxe Cabin USD 400 · Deluxe Balcony USD 480 · Signature USD 510 · Master USD 560 |

Cabin rates are per person on a scheduled shared liveaboard departure from Labuan Bajo, cabin shared on a twin or double basis. Departure dates and the exact itinerary length for each sailing are confirmed per departure on the vessel’s own page.
| Package | 1–5 pax | 6–10 pax | 11–15 pax | 16–20 pax |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3D2N | USD 9,500 | USD 10,200 | USD 11,250 | USD 12,200 |
| 4D3N | USD 12,650 | USD 13,650 | USD 14,550 | USD 15,400 |

Published diving-package rates for Magika Liveaboard (9 cabins, up to 22 guests), covering the whole vessel with dives, tanks, weights and dive guides included. Non-diving private packages on the same liveaboard run from USD 4,700 for 2D1N to USD 13,850 for 6D5N depending on group size. Komodo National Park fees are excluded from every package.
Best for solo divers & couples on a budget
A cabin on a shared departure. Ahsana Liveaboard from USD 300 per person, Magika Liveaboard from USD 310, Sundari from USD 330 — the same reefs and the same crew as a private charter, at roughly a tenth of the whole-boat rate.
Best for a dedicated dive group
Magika Liveaboard, the only vessel in the fleet with a published diving rate card: 3D2N from USD 9,500 and 5D4N from USD 15,750 for the whole boat, 2026 rates. Arfisyana 2 (USD 4,700 per night, up to 22 guests) gives the lowest cost per diver on larger groups.
Best for families and mixed snorkel groups
Balaraja or Flores Utama from USD 3,400 per night, and Naturalia at USD 7,800 per night for up to 24 guests. Enough cabins for three generations, calm snorkel sites at Siaba and Manjarite while the certified divers work the pinnacles.
Best for groups of 20–28
Mutiara Cruise Phinisi (47 m, 10 cabins, up to 28 guests, USD 8,250 per night) or Lasha Phinisi Cruise (52.5 m, 10 cabins, up to 26 guests, USD 10,800 per night) — both keep the per-person cost of a private liveaboard close to a shared cabin.
Best for remote and southern Komodo routes
Kudanil Explorer (50 m steel expedition hull, 8 cabins, USD 26,000 per night + 12% VAT). Range and stabilisation to reach Manta Alley and the southern sites on a 5D4N or longer itinerary, in conditions day boats and smaller phinisi will not attempt.
Best for a flagship charter
Lamima (65.2 m, 7 cabins, 14 guests, USD 27,000 per night + 11% VAT) or Prana (55 m, 9 cabins, 18 guests, USD 20,000 per night) — the two largest luxury sailing phinisi operating out of Labuan Bajo.
Not every group wants a dive-first schedule. Guests who care more about the hand-built ironwood hull and the sail rig than about tank counts usually charter a traditional Indonesian phinisi sailing under canvas, where the same crews run a slower, more topside-led route through the same anchorages. Groups who want the whole vessel to themselves on a shorter, tighter schedule should compare whole-boat private charter pricing out of Labuan Bajo.
Divers who finish a Komodo circuit and want the next step almost always look east. The same fleet and dive team operate extended Raja Ampat cruise itineraries on 6D5N to 10D9N routes, where the trade is fewer strong-current pinnacles for a far higher species count. For travellers still deciding between a multi-night cruise and a series of day sailings, the shorter Komodo boat tour departures cover the signature circuit without the overnight commitment.
Other Signature Charter Experiences
Every voyage with Komodo Luxury is a private affair. From the handcrafted elegance of a traditional phinisi to the sleek performance of a modern catamaran, our fleet is curated for guests who expect nothing less than extraordinary. Choose your vessel, define your itinerary, and let the Indonesian archipelago unfold entirely on your terms.
The fleet behind this page: 9 owned vessels — led by Komodo Signature (78.2 m) — plus 200+ vetted partner liveaboards across VVIP, VIP, Deluxe and speedboat tiers, every one sailed with our own crews and standards. Fleet favourites include Navila, Elbark Cruise and Naturalia.
Batu Bolong, Castle Rock, Crystal Rock and Manta Alley anchor the dive programme from 7D6N upward; gear, divemaster and site windows are arranged at booking. Not certified? Every site pairs with a snorkel alternative.
Pink Beach's shallow reef, Taka Makassar's sandbar lagoon, Siaba Besar's turtles and the Manta Point drift — all four sit on every route from 3D2N up, no certification required.
The 2027 liveaboard calendar is open across the duration ladder above — and multi-night departures are the first to close, because cabins compound: one family booking removes four cabins at once. September-December 2026 remains the quiet stretch our crews recommend to returning guests: smaller groups, and mantas still at Karang Makassar (Komodo in September).
GUEST EXPERIENCES
Discover why elite travelers and world-class influencers choose us for their ultimate Indonesian escape.
A Komodo liveaboard with Komodo Luxury is a multi‑day private yacht cruise where you sleep, dine, and dive directly from a dedicated dive yacht based inside Komodo National Park. Instead of commuting from Labuan Bajo each day, you stay on board for 3–10 nights, waking up above world‑class reefs and manta cleaning stations with up to four guided dives or snorkel sessions daily.
Day trips and land‑based diving return to shore after one or two sites, limiting how far you can travel and which dives you can reach at ideal tide and light. A Komodo liveaboard lets you arrive at Batu Bolong, Castle Rock, Crystal Rock, Shotgun, and Manta Alley at the right moment—sunrise, slack tide, or night—unlocking sites that are impractical or impossible for day boats.
Komodo Luxury runs 2D1N to 10D9N liveaboard itineraries from Labuan Bajo. 3D2N covers the signature circuit — Padar, Pink Beach, Komodo Island, Manta Point, Siaba. 4D3N adds Batu Bolong, Castle Rock and Crystal Rock at correct tide. 5D4N and longer reach Manta Alley and the southern sites that day boats cannot serve.
Komodo is closer, less costly to reach and delivers high-energy currents, mantas and dramatic topography on itineraries as short as 3D2N. Raja Ampat is remoter and stronger on sheer species diversity, and generally needs 6 to 10 nights to justify the journey. Most guests sail Komodo first, then move on to Raja Ampat once they are comfortable with yacht-based diving.
