If you have three days in Labuan Bajo, this is the best version of Komodo you can buy. The Phinisi we sail is a modern build launched in 2022: traditional Indonesian wooden hull, air-conditioned cabins, a sundeck big enough to actually lie down on, and a crew that includes a cruise director, a guide, and a photographer who'll send you edited photos after the trip.
This is the open trip, meaning you share the boat with other travellers, so per-person prices are dramatically lower than chartering the whole vessel. The cabin you pick is the price you pay (see the table on the right). Max 21 guests across 9 cabins.
Asik Travel is your point of contact from booking to back-in-town. Our partner shipyard, Elbark Cruises, has been running modern Phinisis since 2022. We handle the schedule, KNP fee paperwork, dietary requirements, airport transfers, all of it. You show up at 8:30 AM Day 1, we do everything else.
Important if you're booking solo: each cabin is designed for two people. If you want to keep a cabin private, you pay for both beds (cabin price × 2). If you're happy to share with another solo traveller of the same gender, ask us. We run a share-cabin waitlist for solo guests, no supplement.
