Nusa Kembara VVIP Phinisi Charter
Nusa Kembara is a VVIP phinisi built in 2022 by Sulawesi shipwrights and now sails full time across Komodo National Park. The vessel carries up to 16 guests in 8 en-suite cabins, with a dedicated dive setup, Starlink Wi-Fi, and full crew service, making it a solid pick for private Komodo charters.
About Nusa Kembara
Launched in 2022, Nusa Kembara was constructed in South Sulawesi using traditional phinisi building methods passed down for generations. The vessel is classified as VVIP in the Boat Komodo Trip fleet and is dedicated to Komodo National Park itineraries. With 8 cabins laid out across two decks, the boat balances intimate group capacity with the kind of deck space guests expect on multi-day liveaboard trips. The boat remains available for charter in 2026 and accepts leisure, diving, or combined itineraries departing from Labuan Bajo.
Cabins and Capacity
Nusa Kembara accommodates a maximum of 16 guests, ideally two per cabin. All 8 cabins include en-suite bathrooms with hot and cold fresh water, individually controlled air conditioning, and daily housekeeping. The configuration includes standard double cabins along with family-size layouts, useful for groups traveling with children or multi-generational parties. Linens and towels are refreshed during the trip, and the camera station near the common area is set up for guests bringing dive or drone gear.
Onboard Facilities and Water Activities
The main deck houses an indoor dining area and bar serving mineral water, juices, americano coffee, tea, and soft drinks as part of the charter (alcohol is not included). Outdoor dining is set up on the aft deck, while the sun deck above works for relaxing between island stops. Water activities provided on board include snorkeling, canoeing, and paddleboarding. Divers are supported with scuba tanks, weight belts, and a dive guide at a 1:4 ratio; personal dive equipment rental is available on request with a valid certification. Karaoke is set up for evenings at anchor.
Charter Rates and Trip Length
For 2026, private leisure charters start at USD 16,000 per night and diving charters at USD 18,000 per night. Multi-night pricing on the private leisure track runs from USD 23,333 for 3D2N up to USD 93,333 for 15D14N, with every night in between published on the rate card. Diving packages follow the same structure, starting at USD 25,000 for 3D2N. A 50% deposit secures the booking; full settlement is due 14 days before departure. Conservation fees, the 1.2% marine tax, flights, and crew tips (suggested USD 20 per guest per night) are billed separately.
Planning Your Komodo Trip
The charter base for Nusa Kembara is Labuan Bajo (LBJ) on Flores. Guests arriving the day before departure is standard practice; direct flights connect Jakarta, Bali, Surabaya, and Makassar to Labuan Bajo on Garuda Indonesia, Batik Air, Super Air Jet, Pelita Air, and others. Airport or hotel transfers within the Labuan Bajo mainland are included. The boat follows a flexible itinerary covering Padar, Komodo, Manta Point, Pink Beach, Taka Makassar, and other classic national park stops, subject to weather and ranger guidance for guest safety.
