Flores Utama Phinisi Charter in Komodo National Park

Flores Utama is a large Phinisi best suited to group charters that still expect room to breathe. Measuring 25.76 metres in length and 5.27 metres at the beam, she carries up to 22-24 guests across seven cabins, making her one of the more generous Deluxe-class options departing from Labuan Bajo. The layout favours friends travelling together, corporate retreats and multi-family trips, with a sundeck long enough to spread out and a dining area that actually fits the guest list in one sitting.

About Flores Utama

Flores Utama was built around a simple idea: keep the traditions of the Bugis Phinisi hull visible while giving modern travellers enough comfort to sail for three or four nights without feeling cramped. The beam of 5.27 metres is what you notice first on board, it makes the sundeck feel wider than on most 25-metre boats in the same class. Two shared bathrooms service the seven cabins, which keeps the per-night charter accessible for larger parties while still offering the space of a private Phinisi. Guests spend most of their daylight hours on the upper deck watching Komodo's volcanic silhouettes pass by, then regroup for dinner at the long communal table below.

Cabins and Facilities

Accommodation is organised around a Royal Master Cabin, a Master Ocean Cabin and multiple Shared Cabins, reflecting the boat's role as a group-friendly charter. The Royal Master sits at the best viewpoint of the hull and is the natural pick for the host or lead couple in the group. Shared Cabins are built for friends or diving buddies who are happy to split a room to keep costs down. Onboard you will find a bright sundeck for sunbathing and late-afternoon drinks, a covered dining area for meals out of the sun, complimentary snorkeling gear, and a dinghy for island landings at Padar, Pink Beach and Kelor. The boat is outfitted for standard Komodo National Park routes rather than deep-tech diving, which is why families and mixed-skill groups do well here.

What the 3D2N Open Trip Looks Like

A typical three-day Komodo itinerary with Flores Utama begins with a morning pickup from your Labuan Bajo hotel or the airport, then heads directly to Kelor Island for a short trek and a first snorkel. Manjarite follows in the afternoon, then the boat anchors near Kalong Island for the famous fruit-bat sunset. Day two is the headline day: Padar at sunrise, breakfast underway to Pink Beach, then Komodo Island for the dragon trek, followed by manta ray snorkeling at Manta Point and a golden-hour stop at the Taka Makassar sandbar. Day three winds down gently with a sunrise on deck, a final snorkel at Sebayur and a return to Labuan Bajo by late morning. Routes may be adjusted for weather, which is standard practice across Komodo.
