Tara Cruise Phinisi Boat Charter

Tara Cruise Phinisi is a VIP class Phinisi configured for Komodo National Park charters from Labuan Bajo. The boat takes up to 15 guests across 7 ensuite air conditioned cabins, runs a Mitsubishi 8DC11 340HP engine, and pairs on-deck features such as a jacuzzi, paddle boards, and karaoke with Open Trip pricing that starts at IDR 4,950,000.

About Tara Cruise Phinisi

Tara Cruise is a VIP Phinisi built for mid-size charter groups in Komodo National Park. The layout holds 15 guests across 7 cabins, each with a private bathroom and air conditioning, which is the specification that positions Tara against other 15-guest Phinisi in the VIP tier. Every cabin is set up for overnight stays on 3D2N Open/Share and longer Private Trip bookings.

The vessel is powered by a Mitsubishi 8DC11 340HP engine, with a 5000L water tank to support showers, galley use, and drinking water across the voyage without needing mid-trip refills. That tank size is what keeps the boat independent during multi-day itineraries that skip the Labuan Bajo harbor for a full cruise rotation inside the park.

Cabins and Deck Facilities

The seven cabins include Master Cabin, Deluxe Panoramic Cabin, Sharing Cabin 3, and Sharing Cabin 4, plus additional guest cabin tiers. Master and Deluxe Panoramic cabins suit primary bookers and couples wanting outside views, while the Sharing Cabins keep the per-guest rate reasonable for friends or solo divers. Private ensuite bathrooms across all cabins standardize the guest experience regardless of tier.

Shared facilities include a jacuzzi on deck for relaxation after snorkeling or trekking stops, paddle boards for shallow reef use, and an expansive sundeck for sunset viewing. A spacious communal area doubles as indoor dining and a karaoke space, which is a typical VIP Phinisi setup and works well for family or corporate charters looking to combine downtime with entertainment.
