    About This Vessel

    Ayvara is a 25-metre traditional wooden phinisi launched for Komodo cruising in 2025. Seven ocean-view cabins carry a maximum of 15 guests, combining private balconies, large windows and quiet air conditioning with a 360-degree rooftop deck and Starlink internet.

    The cabin mix includes one Master Suite for up to three guests with a queen bed, extra berth and private balcony; two Deluxe cabins with queen beds and private balconies; and four Superior cabins with queen beds and panoramic windows. Every cabin has a private bathroom and air conditioning.

    A Mitsubishi 6D14 engine drives the boat at approximately 9–10 knots. Ayvara is sold both by cabin on scheduled 3D2N departures and as a private charter, making it suitable for couples and small private groups that want ocean-view accommodation and strong connectivity.
