The Oracle Yacht: VVIP Phinisi Charter for Komodo National Park

The Oracle Yacht is a 35-meter Phinisi, built from ironwood and teak, running private charters in Komodo National Park for up to 6 guests in 3 cabins. The yacht cruises at 12 knots, carries Starlink internet on board, and covers the key Komodo anchorages between Labuan Bajo, Padar, Komodo, and Kalong. Boat Komodo Trip manages bookings at USD 5,950 per night plus 11% VAT for 2025 and USD 6,250 per night plus 11% VAT for 2026, with full dive and snorkeling kit already included.

Vessel Specifications

The Oracle Yacht was built using ironwood and teak to traditional Phinisi proportions, measuring 35 meters in length. The guest layout covers three cabins: the First Suite Room, Second Suite Room, and Luxe Room, supporting a total of 6 guests. Onboard tech includes Starlink satellite internet, air-conditioning in every cabin, and an individual sound system and video projector per room. Cruising speed reaches 12 knots, which gives flexibility to combine Komodo's north and south sites inside a 3D2N or 4D3N schedule. A crew of experienced cruise staff handles navigation, diving, food service, and excursions.

Suites and Lounge Spaces

Each of the three cabins is fitted for couples or small groups, with climate-controlled rooms and private bathrooms. The indoor living room on the main deck serves as the lounge and dining area, often used for evening movies on the projector system. The sundeck is generous for a six-guest vessel, with lounge seating, shaded corners, and open sunbathing space. Because the vessel is chartered privately for up to six guests, the public spaces rarely feel busy, which keeps the onboard experience relaxed for family groups, dive buddies, or small corporate retreats. Gourmet meals are served by the service crew throughout the day.

Komodo Activities and Dive Reach

The Oracle Yacht provides scuba diving equipment for certified divers, plus snorkeling gear and kayaks for non-divers. Standard Komodo stops include Batu Bolong, Manta Point, Manjarite Island, Sebayur Island, and the southern reefs near Pink Beach. Land excursions cover Padar Island sunrise trekking, Komodo Island dragon viewing with park rangers, Kelor Island trekking, and the Kalong Island sunset with fruit bats. The 12-knot cruising speed makes it realistic to combine Flores-side dives with Komodo's central and southern sites on a 4D3N or longer charter. A Komodo Tour map is provided on board for route planning.
