Sora Phinisi Boat Charter

Sora Phinisi is a deluxe class Phinisi built for Komodo National Park charters departing from Labuan Bajo. The vessel carries up to 24 guests across 10 cabins, with dedicated spaces for dining indoors and unwinding outdoors, and serves both open/share trips and private charters through the 3D2N and 4D3N itineraries.

About Sora Phinisi

Sora Phinisi is a traditional Phinisi built for multi-day Komodo cruises, balancing the craftsmanship of Sulawesi boatbuilding with the practical amenities guests expect from a modern charter. The layout centers on a welcoming indoor restaurant where meals are prepared on board during the trip, plus an outdoor chill area on deck for guests who want to relax between stops at the park's islands. The vessel is registered as Available and sits in the Deluxe class, making it a middle-tier option between entry-level speedboats and the larger VIP Phinisi fleet. With 24 guests as maximum capacity and ten cabins in the plan, Sora suits medium-sized groups, extended families, or mixed charters that want traditional Phinisi styling without booking a VVIP yacht.

Cabin Types and Facilities

Cabin details on Sora are grouped into three categories: Master Cabin, Signature Cabin, and Sharing Cabin. This setup lets primary guests book the larger Master room while travel partners or supporting guests split the Signature and Sharing cabins, which is a practical way to run a mixed group of couples, singles, and friends on the same charter. Every cabin is configured for overnight stays across the 3D2N schedule. The indoor restaurant handles all meals during the trip, mineral water, coffee, and tea are included, and guests have shared deck access to the outdoor chill area for sunrise, sunset, and between-island transits. Snorkeling gear and life vests are supplied on board, and a guide accompanies the group through the park.
