Cheng Ho
Cheng Ho is a 35-meter VVIP phinisi operated by Boat Komodo Trip for sailings in Komodo National Park and the reefs around Labuan Bajo. The boat accommodates up to 26 guests in 14 cabins, making it one of the larger charter options suited to corporate groups, extended families, and multi-cabin bookings that want to keep everyone on one vessel. Highlights include en-suite air-conditioned cabins, panoramic lounges, and a sun deck fitted with a Jacuzzi, which sets a different tone from smaller phinisi where on-deck space is more limited.
About Cheng Ho
Cheng Ho is a traditional Phinisi built at 35 meters with a VVIP classification in the Boat Komodo Trip fleet, sailing the classic Komodo itinerary that covers Komodo Island and the reef systems near Labuan Bajo. The boat is designed for groups that want a single platform for the full trip, with capacity reaching 26 guests across 14 cabins. Interior and layout lean toward comfortable maritime heritage, with wood finishes and open lounge areas that flow between indoor and outdoor spaces. It is positioned for charters ranging from corporate retreats to large family reunions and multi-cabin groups that want room to spread out during longer itineraries.
Cabins, Lounges, and Sun Deck
The 14 cabins are all en-suite with air conditioning and modern amenities, which keeps the group experience consistent across cabin types. Shared spaces include panoramic lounges that take advantage of the water views and an open-air dining area for meals at sea. The sun deck carries a Jacuzzi, useful on the longer Komodo trips when guests alternate between dive sessions, trekking, and downtime on board. The onboard restaurant serves full-service meals across the day, and the spacious living areas make it practical to host quiet evenings or a full-group dinner without feeling cramped.
Dive Deck and Water Activities
Cheng Ho is set up with an onboard dive deck that gives divers a direct entry into Komodo's marine ecosystem. The deck layout is practical for group dive operations, with enough room to stage gear and manage rotations between sessions at sites such as Batu Bolong, Manta Point, Siaba, and Tatawa. Snorkeling-only guests can use the same access points for shallower reefs at Kanawa, Taka Makassar, and Sebayur. The boat's state-of-the-art navigation equipment supports safe access to more exposed sites, while the dedicated crew handles briefing, transfers via tender, and surface support during dive cycles.
Itineraries, Inclusions, and Booking
Cheng Ho sails the standard Komodo National Park itinerary, visiting Padar Island for sunrise, Komodo Island for the ranger-guided walk, Pink Beach for the distinctive pink sand and snorkeling, Manta Point for manta encounters, and Taka Makassar for the long sand spit and clear reefs. Shorter and longer itineraries can be arranged on private charter basis, with optional extensions for dive-focused groups. Inclusions follow Boat Komodo Trip standards: onboard stay, meals, drinking water, coffee, tea, guide, snorkeling gear, life vests, and Labuan Bajo mainland transfer. Exclusions cover crew gratuities, flights, alcohol, personal expenses, park fees, and optional drone permits at IDR 2.100.000 per unit per day. Booking is confirmed via deposit and WhatsApp confirmation with the Boat Komodo Trip team.
