Derya Liveaboard: 22-Meter VIP Phinisi for Komodo Tours
Derya is a 22-meter VIP-class Phinisi named after the Persian word Daryā, meaning Ocean or Sea. The vessel measures 4.5 meters in width and carries up to 13 guests across four named cabins: Padar, Komodo, Rinca, and Kanawa. The design emphasizes a modern-concept leisure setup for the Komodo National Park route, with a sundeck forward, dining room aft of the main deck, kitchen central, and an upper deck lounge. Charter rates start from IDR 59 million per night.
Vessel Background and Dimensions
Derya was built at 22 meters length and 4.5 meters width, a size that works well for smaller private groups who still want a full Phinisi experience without booking a 30-meter-plus vessel. The name comes from Turkish, derived from the Persian Daryā, which literally means Ocean or Sea, reflecting the design brief of leisure-focused cruising.
The boat sits in the VIP class for Komodo National Park charters. Capacity is capped at 13 guests across four cabins, which keeps the guest-to-crew ratio practical for personalized service during day excursions and dive transfers.
Cabin Names and Deck Layout
The four cabins are named after Komodo region landmarks: Padar Cabin, Komodo Cabin, Rinca Cabin, and Kanawa Cabin. This naming convention mirrors the destinations in the itinerary, making cabin assignment memorable for multi-cabin bookings.
The main deck has the sundeck at the front, the dining room at the back, and the kitchen positioned in the middle for efficient food service. The upper deck hosts the lounge area, which functions as the main social space outside meal times. This vertical separation keeps daytime relaxation and evening socializing from overlapping with meal prep.
Facilities and Activity Kit
Onboard facilities include WiFi on board for guests who need connectivity during the trip, a Bluetooth speaker for in-house music, a paddleboard for water activities, beanbags for the sundeck, and towels. The equipment list is focused on leisure and light water sports rather than dedicated scuba operations.
Standard inclusions cover stay on the boat, meals, mineral water, coffee and tea, a guide, snorkeling gear, life vests, premium documentation with drone, GoPro, and mirrorless cameras (raw footage), plus pick-up within the Labuan Bajo mainland harbor area. Exclusions include flight tickets, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks beyond basic, crew gratuities, Komodo National Park entry fees, and the drone permit at IDR 2,100,000 per unit per day.
Itinerary and Booking Terms
The 3D2N open and share trip follows the standard Komodo route: Day 1 pick-up at 09:00, Kelor Island trek, Manjarite snorkel, and Kalong Island sunset; Day 2 Padar sunrise trek, Pink Beach, Komodo Island dragon trek, Manta Point, and Taka Makassar; Day 3 sunrise breakfast, Sebayur snorkel, and return to Labuan Bajo.
