Up the ridge before anyone else anchors, and back on board for breakfast alone.
Honeymoon · Private Phinisi

The Short Answer
A charter is priced per boat, so two people pay the same as twelve — USD 5,900 for 2D1N or USD 7,100 for 3D2N in 2026. Expensive per head, and the only way to have a phinisi to yourselves.
You take Santalum 1 on the upper deck: king bed, sea view, private balcony and a bathtub. The other seven cabins simply stay empty.
Santalum 2 is the same specification and slightly cheaper on the open trip — worth knowing if you want the second suite as a dressing room.

AfternoonKarang Makassar on the tide the crew picks, not the one the schedule dictates.
Ranger-ledThe one fixed appointment in the day. Everything else moves for you.

Santalum 1 and 2 are the only cabins with a private balcony and bathtub, and the only two on the upper deck. On a charter every cabin comes with the boat — the per-person figures above are the open-trip rates, shown for reference.

Not included
Komodo National Park entrance and activity fees sit outside the cruise price. Ticket prices are subject to change based on the government regulation in force at the time of your trip, so ask the booking desk for a written breakdown covering your exact dates before you pay anything.
Other Ways to Sail
Planning
The operator’s recommended season is March to December. Calmer crossings mean more time on the balcony and less time holding on to it.
Dates are open on a charter, so the constraint is the calendar rather than a published departure window.
The questions the booking desk answers most often.
The whole-boat rate: USD 5,900 for 2D1N or USD 7,100 for 3D2N in 2026. Two guests fall inside the one-to-twelve band, so the price is the same as it would be for a group of twelve. Park fees are additional.
Santalum 1 and Santalum 2, both on the upper deck. Each has a king bed, sea view, private balcony, bathtub and private bathroom.
Yes — take Santalum 1 on a shared 3D2N open-trip departure at USD 680 per person in 2026 (USD 770 in 2027). Same cabin, same balcony, but the boat is shared.
Meals during the trip are included and prepared on board. Anything beyond the standard inclusions — decoration, a specific menu, a beach setup — should be raised with the booking desk when you confirm your dates.
The boat carries no other guests, but it is crewed. You share the vessel with the crew and guide, not with other travellers.
The 3D2N covers Padar, Pink Beach, Komodo Island and Manta Point without feeling rushed. The 4D3N adds Rangko Cave and Seraya and a genuinely slow fourth morning.
