About This Vessel

Malca Voyages at a Glance

Malca Voyages is a 30-metre traditional wooden phinisi built from ironwood and teak for private charters and shared departures in Komodo National Park. The vessel is published for up to 21 guests across seven air-conditioned, en-suite cabins.

A Mitsubishi 8DC11 340 HP engine supports a published cruising speed of 15–16 knots. Navigation and communication equipment includes GPS, AIS mapping, VHF and radio systems. Two 15 kVA generators and a 6,000-litre freshwater capacity support multi-day trips from Labuan Bajo.

Seven Cabins for Flexible Groups

The cabin layout comprises one Master Ocean View, one Deluxe Ocean View, one Superior Ocean View, one Quad Ocean View, two Double Rooms and one Triple Room. All cabins have private bathrooms and air conditioning; the ocean-view categories add outward-facing views, and the Master includes a private balcony.

Published standard cabin occupancies total 19 guests, while the vessel-wide maximum is 21 through extra-bed arrangements. Groups above the standard layout should confirm the exact extra-bed placement and cabin allocation before payment.

Jacuzzi, Indoor Lounge and Open Decks

Shared facilities include an on-deck jacuzzi, an indoor lounge and dining area, a relaxed outdoor area and an upper sun deck. The combination gives guests shaded social space between island visits and open viewpoints for sailing days and sunsets.

Snorkelling equipment and life vests are included in the published trip package. No dedicated scuba-diving setup is claimed in this listing, so divers should request written confirmation of any third-party diving arrangement before booking.

Private Charter and Shared Komodo Trips

Private itineraries are published from 2 days 1 night through 7 days 6 nights. Shared departures use a 3 days 2 nights programme, with scheduled starts on Mondays and Fridays during the published 2026 and 2027 calendars.

A typical 3-day route combines Kelor Island, Manjarite, Kalong Island, Padar Island, Pink Beach, Komodo Island, Manta Point, Taka Makassar and Sebayur. The skipper may alter the sequence for weather, currents, park rules and wildlife conditions.

Pricing and Inclusions

Published shared-trip rates start from USD 300 per person for a three-person Triple Room allocation. Private charter rates start from USD 5,300 for a 2-day 1-night trip for up to 12 guests; larger groups and longer itineraries cost more. These are starting rates and should be reconfirmed for the selected date and cabin.

Published inclusions cover onboard accommodation, meals, drinking water, coffee and tea, a guide, documentation, snorkelling equipment, life vests and mainland airport or hotel transfers. Komodo National Park fees, flights, gratuities, personal expenses, snacks and alcoholic or other separately ordered drinks are excluded.

SiOra is the park’s e-ticketing and SIMAKSI system. Reserve before travel; Ministry guidance recommends completing the reservation by H-1. An operator can assist, and self-service is available at the Komodo Visitor Center and KP3 terminal.
Payment is cashless through the methods available in SiOra, including BRIVA or bank transfer and supported e-wallets. Keep the e-ticket and ensure the traveller details are correct.
A 1,000-visitor daily quota has applied since 1 April 2026 to the main visitor islands and 23 dive sites. Availability therefore depends on the travel date and registered itinerary.
The final SiOra total can include entrance, activity, vessel and special-use charges. Ask the handling operator for an itemised total before issuance.
Official public guidance does not state one universal refund or rescheduling rule for every reservation. Confirm the current SiOra terms in writing before the ticket is issued, including treatment of weather disruption.

Statutory fees under Peraturan Pemerintah No. 36 Tahun 2024, in force since 30 October 2024. Verified 31 August 2026 against the official PP 36/2024 schedule, the Ministry of Forestry SiOra notice and the Ministry’s 2026 quota notice. Amounts are payable in rupiah; dollar figures are courtesy estimates converted at Rp 17,900 and rounded.
