    Chrisbow Azure, a 37-metre phinisi, sailing in Komodo National Park

    Chrisbow Azure

    Eight cabins with shared departures and private charter options

    Cruising Areas

    Komodo

    Komodo National Park out of Labuan Bajo, on charters of one to three nights. Pick-up runs eight to ten in the morning. The 3D2N route takes Kelor for the trek and Manjarite to snorkel on day one before the Kalong sunset; Padar at first light on day two, then Pink Beach, the Komodo Island dragon trek, Taka Makassar and Manta Point; and Kanawa on the final morning, back in port by eleven. The 2D1N substitutes Rinca for Komodo Island and skips Kanawa. The 4D3N adds Siaba and Sebayur and spreads the same stops over an extra day.

    Who This Suits

    Suits: private groups wanting eight cabins, or travellers joining a scheduled shared 3D2N trip.

    Also works for: mixed groups choosing between master, deluxe, private and shared cabin categories.

    Consider before booking: shared cabin inventory has a minimum booking of two people in the published offer. Confirm the cabin layout and occupancy with the operator. No dedicated onboard diving facilities are documented.

    About This Vessel

    Chrisbow Azure is a 37-metre phinisi carrying eight cabins and twenty to twenty-two guests through Komodo National Park out of Labuan Bajo. She offers private charter priced by group size and scheduled shared 3D2N trips priced per person.

    That banding is the thing worth knowing. The lowest band covers one to seven guests, which is wide for a boat this size: a party of seven pays exactly what a couple pays. The second band runs eight to fourteen and the third fifteen to twenty, with extra guests beyond that charged individually up to a ceiling of twenty-two.

    The operator describes eight physical cabins: two Deluxe Cabins and six Private Cabins, all air-conditioned with ensuite bathrooms. Shared-trip sellers use a separate set of sales categories: Master, Deluxe, Private and Shared. Confirm the room name, deck and exact layout with the operator when choosing a cabin.

    The fare covers water sports with a canoe and paddleboard, snorkelling equipment and activities, a tour guide, full board and wi-fi. Photo and video documentation is charged separately here; confirm the arrangements for your chosen package.

    Published private itineraries run from 2D1N to 4D3N on the standard park circuit: Kelor, Manjarite and the Kalong sunset on day one, Padar at first light with Pink Beach, the Komodo Island dragon trek, Taka Makassar and Manta Point on day two, and Kanawa or Sebayur before the return to port.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How is the charter priced?

    Private charter is priced by group size and duration. The minimum published 2D1N package starts at about $5,085 for one to seven guests. A shared 3D2N trip is also available from about $335 per person, with a minimum booking of two in the Shared Cabin category.

    Is it cheaper to travel with fewer people?

    Private charter prices apply to group bands. One to seven guests share the lowest band; the next covers eight to fourteen. Compare a quote for your exact group with the per-person shared package.

    What cabin grades are there?

    The operator's website describes eight physical cabins: two Deluxe Cabins and six Private Cabins. The published shared-trip rate card uses Master, Deluxe, Private and Shared sales categories. These categories are not a confirmed room-by-room layout; ask the operator to identify your exact cabin.

    Is photo and video documentation included?

    Photo and video documentation is listed separately on the referenced private-charter package. Confirm whether it is included in your selected shared departure or private quote.

    What are the payment and cancellation terms?

    The referenced private-charter seller publishes a 50% deposit and a balance deadline 90 days before departure, with its own cancellation and rescheduling conditions. Those seller-specific terms should not be assumed to apply to a direct operator booking. Request the current operator's written payment and cancellation terms before paying.

    Can you dive from Chrisbow Azure?

    No dive centre, compressor or dive guide is listed, and no diving package is sold. Snorkelling equipment, a canoe and a paddleboard are included, and Manta Point appears on the itinerary as a snorkelling stop.
