Updated 27 October 2026

A budget private boat in Labuan Bajo means a whole phinisi split between friends, and we take up to 14 guests on each of three boats. Twelve people on Arham Jaya 2 pay IDR 3,710,000 (≈ USD 228) each for 3 days 2 nights. Twelve on Nusantara Karya pay IDR 4,000,000 (≈ USD 245) each.

Split the boat bill 10, 12 or 14 ways

This is the sum your group chat is about to do: the whole boat for 3 days 2 nights, divided by the head count, with the park ticket kept on its own line.

Segara LiveaboardOn requestOn requestOn request

Segara Liveaboard: whole-boat price on request; its seats start at IDR 2,750,000 (≈ USD 169) per person.

The totals those shares divide:

  • Arham Jaya 2: IDR 41,500,000 (≈ USD 2,546) for 10 guests, IDR 44,500,000 (≈ USD 2,730) for 12 or 14.
  • Nusantara Karya: IDR 44,000,000 (≈ USD 2,699) for 10 guests, IDR 48,000,000 (≈ USD 2,945) for 12 or 14.

Park tickets come on top, and the fee table further down has each rate. No boat takes more than 14.

Which boat takes which head count

Which head count fits

Arham Jaya 2 has 6 cabins, each with its own bathroom, and its price steps up at 5, 8 and 11 guests. It suits groups of 8 to 14 who want a bathroom for every couple.

Nusantara Karya has 5 cabins, also with a bathroom each, and only two prices: one up to 10 guests, one for 11 to 14. It suits a group of 9 or 10 that wants one flat number.

Segara Liveaboard has 6 rooms, 5 with their own bathroom; the Standard room shares one, and its whole-boat price is on request. It suits a group chasing the lowest seat fare.

Every boat stops at 14. Over that, you need two boats.

In the price and not in the price

In the price: the whole boat with air-conditioned cabins and its crew, breakfast, lunch and dinner cooked aboard, snorkeling gear, life jackets, and free pickup and drop-off in Labuan Bajo.

Not in the price: park tickets and ranger fees, flights, your hotel, tips and personal spending. On a private charter the guide and photo and video documentation are on request, quoted separately. The price page has the full lists.

An honest saving tip. Ask for the quote at 10 and at 12. A group of 8 or 9 pays the same total as 10 on both priced boats, so two more friends lower every share.

The 3D2N route as a list of stops

Day 1 runs from Labuan Bajo to Kelor Island, Manjarite Beach and Kalong Island, where the flying foxes leave at dusk. Day 2 takes in Padar Island, Pink Beach, Komodo Island, Taka Makassar and Manta Point. Day 3 is a morning stop around Sebayur Island before the boat heads back to Labuan Bajo harbor.

Pickup time is agreed on WhatsApp. The captain decides the stops, their order and the anchorage for each night, going by the weather. Manta sightings are not guaranteed.

Two days and four days use the same stops, fewer or more of them. Each route has its own page with the day-by-day list.

If the boat will not fill, take a seat

When the group is too small to fill a boat, take a seat. A seat is one bed on a Monday or Friday departure of 3 days 2 nights. Seats start at IDR 2,750,000 (≈ USD 169) per person, and the next start is Friday, 6 November 2026.

That is the open trip format: you share the boat with other guests and pay by cabin. The cheapest seat is in a bunk cabin, the dearest in a Master Cabin Balcony.

A date runs once its minimum cabins are booked. We tell you on WhatsApp before you pay. The calendar's last start is Friday, 1 January 2027.

The departures page lists every start, boat by boat.

Starts are on the Monday and Friday dates listed here. A date that is missing is full or not scheduled.

Departure calendar

Who splits a boat: friends, reunions, teams

Group cost split. Colleagues or friends who divide one bill pay a share worked out per head. An office outing is a budget group outing, and we price it that way.

Friends. Ten friends pay less each with every extra friend who joins, up to the ceiling of 14.

Reunion and graduation. A class of 14 on Arham Jaya 2 pays the lowest share of any priced whole boat here.

Families. A big family fills three or four cabins, and the bathroom in every cabin matters more than the deck.

Each of these has its own page with the sum worked out for that kind of group.

    How the booking goes, from message to deposit

    • Message. Send your head count and dates on WhatsApp, and name a boat or ask us to choose.
    • Written quote. We reply with the total, the share per person and what is not included.
    • Deposit. You pay 50% to hold the date. The balance is due 30 days before departure. Pickup time is agreed on WhatsApp with the deposit.

    WhatsApp comes first because the group chat is where the sum gets argued. Send the message from there, and our quote is written to be pasted straight back in.

    A broken boat or a port or park order is not your loss. We move you to a phinisi of equal or higher standard on the same date, free of charge, or refund you in full within 14 days. Nothing is charged before the quote.

    Bills that come on top: tickets, guide, airfare

    Three bills arrive on top of the boat. The park ticket is paid per person, and the table below has the rate for each passport and day of the week. Ranger and pier charges are paid on the day.

    On a private charter, neither a guide nor photo and video documentation is included. Both are quoted separately on request.

    Flights and your Labuan Bajo hotel are yours to book. Arrive the day before the start, so a late flight does not eat the first morning.

    Put the three bills next to the boat share in one line of the group chat, and nothing is a surprise at the pier.

    Reviews of trips we booked, not of one boat

    “Loved the experience — the team and crew are the best.”

    “We watched the most gorgeous sunset while thousands of flying foxes (kalong) started flying above us against the orange sky. The crew knew exactly where to position the boat for the best view.”

    “Very good boat, good experience, and fulfilled my dream to see a Komodo dragon.”

    FAQ

    Can a group of 10 book a whole phinisi?

    Yes. Ten is a normal size for a whole boat. Arham Jaya 2 comes to IDR 41,500,000 (≈ USD 2,546), or IDR 4,150,000 (≈ USD 255) each. Nusantara Karya comes to IDR 44,000,000 (≈ USD 2,699), or IDR 4,400,000 (≈ USD 270) each. Park tickets are extra.

    Why is the price per person lower at 12 guests than at 10?

    The total steps up once, at 11 guests, and then 12 people divide it. On Arham Jaya 2 the share goes from IDR 4,150,000 (≈ USD 255) to IDR 3,710,000 (≈ USD 228). On Nusantara Karya it goes from IDR 4,400,000 (≈ USD 270) to IDR 4,000,000 (≈ USD 245).

    Is Segara Liveaboard cheaper than the other two?

    On seats, yes at the bottom: the Sharing Cabin Room is IDR 2,750,000 (≈ USD 169), against IDR 3,350,000 (≈ USD 206) for a Share Cabin on Arham Jaya 2. Its whole-boat price is on request, so there is no whole-boat comparison with the other two.

    Is the guide included when we book the whole boat?

    No. On a private charter the guide and the photo and video documentation are not included. Both are available on request and quoted separately. A seat on any of the three boats includes a tour guide and documentation.

    What is the largest group any of the three boats takes?

    14 guests, on each of them. Arham Jaya 2 and Segara Liveaboard have 6 cabins or rooms, and Nusantara Karya has 5. A larger group needs two boats, because we take up to 14 guests on a boat and never sell a 15th seat.
