Why this yacht

Why Ikan Kayu works for Komodo

Ikan Kayu is a 32 m traditional phinisi hand-built in the classic Sulawesi style, running private charters through Komodo National Park and the tropical shores of East Sumbawa. Accommodation spans two decks: one double cabin on the upper deck next to the wheelhouse and four suite-style doubles on the main deck around the indoor lounge and galley, all air-conditioned with ocean views and private en-suite bathrooms. The base configuration is 10 guests, with capacity for up to 13 on request (extra passenger at USD 250 / night). She carries a 9-strong crew across marine and hospitality departments led by captain Imam Basuki (30+ years at sea), cruise director Paskal and chef Joko, whose kitchen blends Indonesian, European, Japanese, Chinese and Middle-Eastern cuisines served family style on the shaded main-deck dining table or outside on secluded beaches. Onboard toys include paddleboards, a banana boat, snorkelling gear and beach games; a 5.5 m / 85 HP speedboat tender handles reef drops, beach landings and manta drifts, and diving is available on request at additional cost.

Best for

  • Families with children
  • Small groups of friends
  • Multi-generational trips
  • Divers
  • Honeymooners taking over the whole boat

Not ideal for

  • Groups larger than 13 guests
  • Guests wanting a modern glass-and-steel superyacht (Ikan Kayu is a traditional wooden phinisi)
  • Shared-voyage divers (diving package is only available on full private charter)
