Aimar Always Cruise Phinisi
Aimar Always is a VIP-class phinisi charter working the Komodo National Park circuit out of Labuan Bajo. The vessel sleeps up to 18 guests across 7 cabins and cruises at 7 to 8 knots, a fit for groups wanting a mid-sized private boat with full air conditioning and a proper indoor dining setup.
Boat Profile
Aimar Always carries a 12,000 liter freshwater tank, enough to support 7 cabins and 18 guests comfortably on standard 3D2N and 4D3N Komodo itineraries. Navigation is handled by GPS, AIS, and sonar, which is the baseline package the captain uses for island-hopping between Padar, Komodo, and Manta Point.
The cruising speed of 7 to 8 knots is typical for phinisi work in these waters, letting the crew pace departures to reach Pink Beach or Taka Makassar with good light. Cabin configuration covers one Master Cabin, one Deluxe Cabin, and two Shared Cabins, which suits mixed groups combining couples and solo travellers.
Onboard Facilities
The boat has a bar area, an indoor dining room, and an indoor lounge, so guests have sheltered space for meals and downtime when weather turns. Cabins carry sea views and air conditioning runs throughout the accommodation areas.
This indoor-heavy layout differentiates Aimar Always from deck-first phinisis. Charter parties who prefer long lunches and conversation over constant sun exposure often choose it for exactly that reason.
Capacity and Suitable Groups
With 18 beds and 7 cabins, Aimar Always suits extended family trips, friend groups of 10 to 16, and small corporate charters. The Shared Cabins absorb extra travellers without forcing couples to give up privacy in the Master or Deluxe rooms.
The boat is booked either as a full private charter or via open trip formats that pool solo guests and couples together on a fixed departure date.
Itinerary Reference
The standard 3D2N open trip starts with a Labuan Bajo pickup, sails to Kelor for trekking, Manjarite for snorkeling, and Kalong for sunset with the bat flight. Day two covers Padar sunrise, Pink Beach, Komodo dragon trekking, Manta Point, and Taka Makassar. Day three closes with a morning snorkel at Sebayur before return to Labuan Bajo.
