Two people, four days, and a boat that is only theirs

Charter the whole boat and the only other people aboard are crew: six of them and a cruise director, looking after the two of you. The six cabins, the deck and the dining room are all yours. Four days and three nights cost IDR 97,000,000 (≈ USD 5,951) for the boat, the same for two guests as for four, which comes to IDR 48,500,000 (≈ USD 2,975) each.

Kelor and Manjarite fill day one, with Kalong at dusk. Day two begins with sunrise on Padar, then Pink Beach, Rinca, Taka Makassar and Manta Point. Day three adds Gili Lawa, Siaba and Sabolo, and on day four you visit Rangko Cave before returning to the harbour in Labuan Bajo.

Each night the boat lies at anchor, wherever the captain chooses with the weather in mind. We neither name nor promise an anchorage beforehand, and the sea and the harbour can change the sequence of stops.

Four days moves more slowly than three. If you would like that third day with nothing planned before breakfast, this is where you find it.

For a couple, the Master cabin is the obvious room: a double bed, an en-suite hot shower, air conditioning, a safety box and a wide window onto the sea. With the whole boat, though, any of the six cabins can be yours.

The Private cabins have the same fittings and a sea view, so a couple choosing one gives up only the wide window. For a honeymoon we would suggest the Master, but that is a preference, not a rule.

On the open trip you get the same cabin on a smaller scale. A Master seat costs IDR 8,100,000 (≈ USD 497) per person, two to a cabin, for three days and two nights on a set sailing date, so a couple pays for two seats. The seat includes a guide and photographs and film of the trip.

As for the limit here, it is the bed: one double in every cabin, which for a honeymoon is exactly right.

• One queen-size double bed, made up for two.
• Its own bathroom with a hot shower, beside the bed.
• Air conditioning and a safety box, as in all six cabins.
• The wide window, which faces the sea.

Quiet time goes onto the day sheet by hand. Ask the cruise director to keep an hour free in the late afternoon for the jacuzzi. The crew confirm the hour on the day, with the weather.

Dawn belongs to Padar, where the sun clears the ridge at 06:14 in June, or 05:31 in November. Dusk belongs to Kalong, with the flying foxes crossing the mangroves about fifteen minutes after sunset. In between, the relax areas at the bow, in the middle and at the stern are for reading, or for doing nothing at all.

Evenings bring the dining room, the home theatre and, if you like, karaoke. Starlink internet is on board, though coverage shifts as Navila moves, and nobody will ask you to put your phone away.

A paddleboard is kept aboard for the morning, and snorkelling sets and towels are provided.

We arrange surprises only once you have a written quote. Flowers in the cabin, a cake, decorations in the dining room, a dinner on the sand: tell us what you have in mind, and we will reply with what is possible, what it costs and who provides it. Nothing is added until you agree.

All of these are on request. We do not list prices here, because each depends on the date, the place and how many are aboard, and a written quote always comes first.

Give us as much notice as you can, since a dinner on the sand needs more time than a cake. For a proposal, or any surprise that depends on a particular place, thirty days is a comfortable margin.

A photographer or a drone for the day can also be arranged on request, and we handle the drone permit.

Put the two options next to each other. In 2026, the whole boat for four days and three nights costs IDR 97,000,000 (≈ USD 5,951); shared by two, that is IDR 48,500,000 (≈ USD 2,975) each. It does not include a guide or photographs and film of the trip, both of which we quote on request.

A single Master seat on the open trip costs IDR 8,100,000 (≈ USD 497). A couple pays for two seats, for three days and two nights, with the guide and documentation included. Either way, the park package is extra.

What the difference pays for is the boat to yourselves, the extra night and the fourth day's stops, and a date you choose. The seat gives you a lower price and the company of other guests, on a set sailing date.

There is no single right answer. Let us know your free days, and one reply will set both figures side by side.

The host's note. Let us know the day you arrive. After a long flight we start the first morning of a charter late and keep the jacuzzi for the afternoon.
