Raja Bintang 01
The whole boat, for one fare, for up to sixteen
Updated 4 November 2026
A Komodo phinisi charter for 16 guests on Raja Bintang 01 costs IDR 69,000,000 (≈ USD 4,233) for two days, IDR 78,000,000 (≈ USD 4,785) for three or IDR 85,000,000 (≈ USD 5,215) for four. The fare is one price for 1 to 16 guests, with a crew of 6. The park package, and the guide and documentation, are quoted beside it.
One fare, three lengths
A private charter here is priced by the route, not by the head. The whole boat costs IDR 69,000,000 (≈ USD 4,233) for two days and one night, IDR 78,000,000 (≈ USD 4,785) for three days and two nights, and IDR 85,000,000 (≈ USD 5,215) for four days and three nights. The same figure applies to 1 guest and to 16. There is no band split and no fee per added guest.
The price per person on a private boat is therefore a sum you do yourself. Eight guests on the three-day route pay IDR 9,750,000 (≈ USD 598) each, and sixteen pay IDR 4,880,000 (≈ USD 299). The table below does the sums for the other party sizes.
The fare is the 2026 price, rounded and all-in as quoted, with fuel inside. A small party pays for the empty cabins too, and you should hear that from us first.

Where sixteen sleep
Fill the cabins in order of bathroom. Two guests to each of the Master, Deluxe and two Private cabins make eight, and those four cabins have a bathroom of their own.
The two Sharing cabins take the other eight, up to four guests each on two double beds, and they share one bathroom. That makes sixteen on standard beds. A private charter takes up to 16 guests, and the private-charter price covers 1 to 16; extra beds belong to open-trip cabin plans.
Suits: families of three or four who want their cabins on one deck, friends who pair off into couples, or a team that puts its senior people in the Master and Deluxe. Tell us the party and we draw the cabin plan before you pay.
| Cabin | Rooms | Beds | Sleeps |
|---|---|---|---|
| Master Cabin | 1 | 1 queen + 1 single | 2 |
| Deluxe Cabin | 1 | 1 queen bed | 2 |
| Private Cabins 01 and 02 | 2 | 1 queen + 1 sofa bed | 4 |
| Sharing Cabins 01 and 02 | 2 | 2 double beds | 8 |
| Berths in total | 6 | 16 |
Extra beds bring the open-trip cabin plan to 19; private charters are priced for up to 16 guests.

Beside the fare, quoted in writing: the park package, flights, hotels, tips and personal expenses. On a private charter the guide and the documentation (drone, camera, GoPro) are not included. Either can be added on request, priced separately, and drone flights need a park permit.

If Raja Bintang stays in port
- The boat cannot sail: a boat of equal or higher class on the same date at no extra charge, or a full refund within 2 days. You choose.
- We replace the boat: the same two options, and we confirm the replacement boat's name and cabins in writing before the date.
- The harbour master closes sailing for weather: handled the same way. We never sail against a closure.
- You arrive late: if you miss the pickup, a taxi boat takes you to the phinisi at your own expense.
The weather sets the running order and the night's anchorage, not us and not the guest. The captain picks where the boat lies for the night, and she stays at anchor overnight.
Two days, three days, four days
The two-day route suits a party with limited leave. It drops the long middle of the three-day plan and rushes Pink Beach into Manta Point. The three-day route is the full set, with a night at each end and a long middle day.
The four-day route is a sample plan built from the same stops. It gives the same stops more room and is the right length for a milestone birthday or a team that wants one free day. The captain agrees the order with you.
Prices for 2027 are on request, to be confirmed in writing before any payment. No 2027 figure appears on this page, and none should be read into it.
