    Eight cabins with jacuzzi or bathtub options in selected rooms

    Cruising Areas

    Komodo

    Komodo National Park out of Labuan Bajo on charters of one to three nights, pick-up between eight and ten. The 3D2N route takes Kelor for the trek and Manjarite to snorkel on day one, closing at Kalong for the flying foxes. Day two is Padar at first light, then Pink Beach, the Komodo Island dragon trek, Taka Makassar and Manta Point. Day three snorkels Kanawa before returning to port by eleven. The 2D1N swaps Komodo Island for Rinca and drops Kanawa; the 4D3N adds Siaba and Sebayur across an extra day.

    Who This Suits

    Suits: couples choosing between eight cabins, including selected rooms with a jacuzzi or bathtub.

    Also works for: private groups with flexible dates who can compare low- and high-season charter totals.

    Consider before booking: most rooms are listed for two guests, while Moon can take additional guests. Confirm the room allocation, documentation arrangements and any seasonal supplement.

    About This Vessel

    Semesta Voyages is a 32-metre phinisi built in 2023, carrying eighteen guests across eight cabins named after celestial bodies: Moon, Mars, Earth, Sun, Pluto, Venus, Jupiter and Mercury. The naming is not decoration, it maps the cabin ladder from owner's suite down to superior.

    Moon is the owner's suite with a double bed, a private jacuzzi and balcony, and room for two to four guests. Earth is the master balcony suite, also with a private jacuzzi and balcony. Mars and Sun both carry private bathtubs, Mars as the VIP ocean suite and Sun as the master ocean suite. Pluto and Venus are the deluxe pair, Jupiter and Mercury the superior pair, all four with double beds and private bathrooms. Half the boat, in other words, has either a jacuzzi or a bathtub.

    The published private charter card uses low-season rates for January–May and September–December, and high-season rates for June–August. Compare the full quote for your dates, group size and trip duration.

    Mechanically she cruises at seven to nine knots with 10,000 litres of fresh water, navigating on GPS with SSB and VHF radio, and carries a seven-metre dinghy on a Yamaha 85 hp. Safety equipment runs to a life raft, life boat, life buoys, vests, fire extinguisher, first aid and marine radio. There is no dive centre or compressor; snorkelling, canoe and paddleboard are the water programme.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How much cheaper is the low season?

    For one to twelve guests, the minimum 2D1N private charter is approximately $4,635 in low season and $5,110 in high season. The published high season is June–August. Rates also differ for longer trips and extra guests.

    Which cabins have a jacuzzi or bathtub?

    Four of the eight. Moon, the owner's suite, and Earth, the master balcony suite, each have a private jacuzzi and balcony. Mars, the VIP ocean suite, and Sun, the master ocean suite, each have a private bathtub. Pluto, Venus, Jupiter and Mercury have private bathrooms without either.

    Can more than two people share a cabin?

    Only in Moon, which takes two to four guests. Every other cabin is built for exactly two. The boat reaches eighteen guests through two extra beds on top of the sixteen fixed berths, so a large group will be tightly accommodated.

    What is included in the charter price?

    Airport or hotel transfers both ways, full board with three meals a day, mineral water, coffee and tea, afternoon snacks and juices, all shore excursions, canoe and paddleboard, snorkelling equipment and activities, a tour guide and wi-fi. Photo and video documentation is an extra on this boat.

    What are the payment terms?

    The referenced package seller publishes the following terms: A 50 per cent deposit within three days of the invoice, with the balance due 90 days before the trip rather than the 60 days several boats in this fleet use. Book inside 90 days and full payment is required upfront. Cancelling inside 89 days returns nothing. These are seller-specific reference terms, not confirmation of the policy for booking directly with the operator. Request the current written deposit, cancellation and rescheduling conditions before payment.

    Is diving available?

    No dive centre, compressor or dive guide is listed. Snorkelling equipment, a canoe and a paddleboard are included in the fare, and Manta Point appears on the itinerary as a snorkelling stop rather than a dive.
