North Blue

North Blue is a 20-metre Deluxe phinisi charter for Komodo National Park, operated by Boat Komodo Trip for groups of up to 18 guests across 5 cabins. Propulsion comes from a Mitsubishi 6D16 engine, with a 4.5-metre beam and a cruising speed of 8 to 11 knots. The cabin mix covers a Master Cabin, Sharing Cabins with Private Bathroom, and Sharing Cabins with Shared Bathroom, giving flexibility for mixed groups. Onboard facilities include snorkelling gear, a canoe, a dedicated speedboat tender, a jacuzzi-adjacent chill area with daybeds and beanbags, and karaoke.

About North Blue

North Blue combines classical phinisi construction with a layout adjusted for larger group charters. The 20-metre hull and 4.5-metre beam set it up for stable cruising across the inner Komodo National Park routes between Labuan Bajo and the outer sites like Padar and Komodo Island. The Mitsubishi 6D16 engine delivers a cruising speed of 8 to 11 knots, and the fresh water and fuel capacity are sized for multi-day trips without midway resupply. The 5-cabin layout accommodates up to 18 guests, which is a useful middle ground for extended families, mixed couple groups, and private corporate outings that need scale without the price tag of a full VVIP charter. North Blue also carries a crew of six, which keeps service levels high across dining, dive, and trek programmes.

Cabin Types, Facilities, and Water Toys

Cabin options are organised around group flexibility. The Master Cabin sits at the top of the stack for the primary booking lead, Sharing Cabins with Private Bathroom support couple-level privacy without the Master's price, and Sharing Cabins with Shared Bathroom offer a budget-friendly option for larger families or friend groups. All cabins are air conditioned, with the private-bath and shared-bath split clearly disclosed upfront. Onboard amenities include a dining room for shared meals, outdoor and semi-outdoor chill areas with bean bags and daybeds, a dispenser, refrigerator, speaker system, and karaoke setup for evenings on the boat. Water toys include snorkelling gear, a canoe, and a dedicated speedboat tender for quick island transfers, plus life jackets and a life raft for safety. Navigation uses compass, GPS, SBB radio, and VHF radio.
