Otium VVIP Phinisi Charter
Otium is a VVIP phinisi built from ironwood and teak, powered by a Yanmar engine supported by solar generators. It runs quiet 9-knot cruises across Komodo National Park, takes up to 12 guests in 6 ensuite cabins, and comes set up for diving, kayaking, paddleboarding, and wakeboarding on a single private charter.
About Otium
Otium sits in the VVIP tier of the Boat Komodo Trip fleet and is built around a simple idea: a small guest count on a large, well-equipped boat. The hull is ironwood and teak, the main engine is a Yanmar, and eco solar generators are used to reduce engine load during calm sections. Cruising speed is around 9 knots, which is the comfortable sweet spot for inter-island transits in the Komodo region without making the deck feel unsettled.
Cabin Layout for 12 Guests
Six cabins split into one Master Suite, one Queen Suite, and four Deluxe staterooms. Every cabin has an ensuite bathroom, so privacy holds up well with families or mixed groups. Maximum capacity is 12 guests, which keeps the crew-to-guest ratio and common area usage loose rather than crowded. Standard linens, towels, and turndown are part of the daily service.
Onboard Experience and Water Toys
Inside, Otium offers Wi-Fi, a sound system, an Xbox, and an espresso machine, along with yoga mats and on-board massage by appointment. On the water, the activity lineup is deliberately wide: kayaks and paddleboards for flat-water exploring, wakeboarding behind the tender, and scuba diving supported by the boat's own dive gear. Snorkeling equipment is standard for every guest. Life rafts, life vests, and satellite communication round out the safety brief.
Charter Rates and Booking Terms
Otium's charter rate starts at USD 14,000 per night plus 12% VAT. A 50% deposit is required to confirm the booking, with the balance due 30 days before departure; long-lead bookings made roughly a year out use a 30% deposit, a 20% top-up 120 days before the trip, and the balance 30 days before departure. Cancellations made within 30 days of departure forfeit 100% of the payment. Children aged 3 and above are charged full rate.
Logistics for a Komodo Charter
Otium departs from Labuan Bajo (LBJ) on Flores, reached by direct flights from Jakarta, Bali, and Surabaya on Garuda Indonesia, Batik Air, Super Air Jet, Air Asia, Citilink, and others. Transfers between the boat and hotels or the airport inside the Labuan Bajo mainland are included; remote island or Manjaga-area transfers are not covered.
