Updated 27 October 2026
Arham Jaya 2 vs Nusantara Karya vs Segara Liveaboard: all three stop at 14 guests. For 12 guests on 3 days 2 nights, the whole of Arham Jaya 2 is IDR 44,500,000 (≈ USD 2,730) and Nusantara Karya is IDR 48,000,000 (≈ USD 2,945). Segara has no whole-boat price here; it is on request.
The three boats side by side
Start with the cabin counts. Arham Jaya 2 has 6 cabins in three kinds: two Master Cabin Balconies, two Private Cabin Sea Views and two Share Cabins. Nusantara Karya has 5 cabins: one Master Cabin Balcony, a Deluxe Cabin Sea View, a Private Cabin Sea View and two Share Cabins. Segara Liveaboard has 6 rooms in five types, with two of them Superior Cabin Rooms.
Read the ceiling row twice. We take up to 14 guests on each boat, whatever the beds add up to.
The pick by head count is short. Nusantara Karya suits 9 or 10 guests on one flat price. Arham Jaya 2 suits 12 to 14, where its share is lowest. Segara suits a group that cares most about the seat fare, and its whole-boat price is on request.

12 guests: what each boat costs per head
A group of 12 is the size most group chats land on, so here is the sum for it. Whole boat for 3 days 2 nights, divided by 12, with the park ticket kept off the line.
| Boat | Whole boat | Each of 12 |
|---|---|---|
| Arham Jaya 2 | IDR 44,500,000 (≈ USD 2,730) | IDR 3,710,000 (≈ USD 228) |
| Nusantara Karya | IDR 48,000,000 (≈ USD 2,945) | IDR 4,000,000 (≈ USD 245) |
| Segara Liveaboard | On request | On request |
Arham Jaya 2 comes out lower per head at 12. Its 11-to-14 band is IDR 44,500,000 (≈ USD 2,730). Nusantara Karya's 11-to-14 band is IDR 48,000,000 (≈ USD 2,945).
Park tickets are extra on every boat: IDR 250,000 international, IDR 50,000 domestic on weekdays, IDR 75,000 domestic on weekends.
Ask for the quote at 14 as well as 12. Because both boats hold their 11-to-14 band flat, two more people lower every share without touching the total.
Bathrooms, bunks and decks compared
Start with bathrooms, because that is where the boats split. Every cabin on Arham Jaya 2 and Nusantara Karya has its own. On Segara, 5 of the 6 rooms do, and the Standard Cabin Room shares one.
| Item | Arham Jaya 2 | Nusantara Karya | Segara |
|---|---|---|---|
| Private bathrooms | 6 of 6 | 5 of 5 | 5 of 6 |
| Route lengths | 2, 3 or 4 days | 2, 3 or 4 days | 3 days 2 nights |
| Bunk cabins | Two, 4 guests each | Two, 4 guests each | One, 4 guests |

Three terms are the same on all three boats. Children aged 0 to 2 travel free, and from 3 the full fare applies. The deposit is 50%. If a boat cannot sail, you move to a phinisi of equal or higher standard on the same date, or take a full refund.
The first Share Cabin on Arham Jaya 2 and on Nusantara Karya sleeps 4 on two double bunk beds. The second differs: Arham Jaya 2 has 4 single bunk beds, while Nusantara Karya has a double bed and two single bunks.
On Segara the Master and Deluxe rooms are on the upper deck, and the other four are on the main deck. Arham Jaya 2 has a covered lounge deck with a wall-mounted TV and a bench along the rail. Nusantara Karya has a karaoke area with a TV and a drinks fridge. Segara's indoor dining room has a bar counter with stools along the windows.
Karaoke, connection and snorkeling gear
Karaoke is on all three boats, and so are snorkeling gear and life jackets. Every cabin on each boat is air-conditioned.
For a connection, Nusantara Karya has Starlink Wi-Fi and Arham Jaya 2 has local Wi-Fi, not satellite. Download what you need before you board.
Signal comes and goes between anchorages in the park, so send the photos and messages that matter while you are still in town.
If your group needs to stay online, say so when you ask for the quote and we tell you which boat fits. Fins go on the bring list if you want your own.
Eight, twelve or fourteen: a boat for each count
Which head count fits
Every boat takes up to 14. What changes is where the total steps up.
| Boat | Total steps up at | Ceiling |
|---|---|---|
| Arham Jaya 2 | 5, 8 and 11 guests | 14 |
| Nusantara Karya | 11 guests | 14 |
| Segara Liveaboard | Whole boat on request | 14 |
With 8 guests, Arham Jaya 2 is IDR 5,190,000 (≈ USD 318) each and Nusantara Karya IDR 5,500,000 (≈ USD 337). With 14 they are IDR 3,180,000 (≈ USD 195) and IDR 3,430,000 (≈ USD 210).
Pick Nusantara Karya if you want one flat price to 10 guests and Starlink Wi-Fi. Pick Arham Jaya 2 if you want 6 cabins, each with its own bathroom, and a lower share at 8, 12 and 14. Ask about Segara if one couple can take the Standard room, which shares a bathroom; its other 5 rooms have their own.

- Groups of 9 or 10 who fill one flat price band
- Friends who want Starlink and a karaoke area on board
- Friends who split a bunk cabin at the lowest seat fare
Not for

- You want a guide and documentation inside a private charter: both are quoted separately on request
When the seat beats the whole boat
A seat is one bed on a Monday or Friday open trip departure. It is the better buy for a group that will not fill a boat. Seats start at IDR 2,750,000 (≈ USD 169) per person, on the Segara Sharing Cabin Room.
Only a nearly full boat beats a bunk seat. On Arham Jaya 2 that happens at 14 guests, and on Nusantara Karya it never happens. The charter page works the sum out.
A seat on any of the three boats includes a tour guide and photo and video documentation, and a charter does not. Park tickets are extra either way. The departures page lists the dates and every seat fare.
