Sailing Through Komodo,
Daily Discoveries by Sea and Shore
Day 1 – Bali to Kanawa
Your journey begins after a leisurely breakfast at your hotel, where you’ll be met by the Yacht’s crew and transferred to the harbor — just a short 20-minute drive away. Step aboard the magnificent yacht and enjoy a refreshing welcome drink as you meet your captain and crew. Settle into your cabin or lounge on deck as the yacht begins her elegant voyage eastward toward Sumbawa. A sumptuous al fresco lunch is served on the shaded aft deck as Bali’s coastline fades into the horizon. Spend the afternoon relaxing on sun loungers or indulge in a soothing welcome massage on deck. As evening falls, enjoy a gourmet dinner beneath the stars, paired with fine wine and the rhythmic lull of the sea.
Day 2 – Kana & Kramat Island
Awake to the gentle sound of waves and the sun rising over the north coast of Sumbawa. After breakfast, enjoy a refreshing morning swim in the turquoise waters of Kanawa Island, followed by snorkeling over vibrant coral gardens teeming with life. By midday, your yacht sails east to Kramat Island, a secluded paradise of white sands and crystalline lagoons. Spend the afternoon paddleboarding, snorkeling, or simply unwinding on the beach. As the sun dips low, enjoy cocktails and canapés on the foredeck, followed by a seafood dinner under the stars, served on the beach with lanterns flickering in the gentle evening breeze.
Day 3 – Saleh Bay & Moyo
Overnight, your yacht glides into Saleh Bay, where calm waters host one of nature’s great encounters — the whale shark. Early risers can dive or snorkel near local fisherman’s platforms for an unforgettable close-up experience with these gentle giants. After brunch on deck, the voyage continues north to Moyo Island, a sanctuary of lush jungle and hidden waterfalls. Explore the island on foot, swim in natural pools, and return to the yacht for a sunset aperitif. Tonight, dine on a multi-course meal inspired by Indonesian coastal flavors as the yacht sets sail under a canopy of stars.
Day 4 – Sangeang
Wake to dramatic views of Sangeang Volcano, a still-active island off Sumbawa’s coast. Go ashore to visit traditional boatbuilders crafting wooden vessels using ancestral techniques. Later, choose between a guided hike up the volcanic slopes or a dive at the famed Hot Rock Reef, where volcanic gases create mesmerizing streams of bubbles underwater. Back on board, enjoy a relaxing spa treatment or simply recline on the sundeck as the crew prepares a tropical sunset dinner. As night falls, the yacht sets her course toward Komodo National Park.
Day 5 – Gili Banta
This morning, anchor off the breathtaking Gili Banta, an uninhabited island known for its pink and white sand beaches. The crew will prepare a private beach camp, complete with shaded loungers and a seaside bar. Spend the day swimming, snorkeling, water-skiing, or simply enjoying the serenity. As dusk approaches, gather around a beach barbecue, where freshly grilled fish and local delicacies are served with chilled wine while the sun sets in a blaze of gold and crimson. The night concludes with laughter around a bonfire, the yacht’s silhouette gleaming softly offshore.
Day 6 – Gili Lawa Darat & Gili Lawa Laut
Welcome to the heart of Komodo National Park, one of the world’s premier marine sanctuaries. Today’s adventure includes diving or snorkeling among brilliant coral gardens, where trevallies, groupers, barracudas, and reef sharks glide through the currents. After a relaxed lunch on board, the afternoon is yours — try kayaking along the coast or bask on deck with a good book and fresh tropical juice. As the day ends, hike to a scenic ridge on Gili Lawa Darat for a panoramic view of turquoise bays and the setting sun. Return to the yacht for an elegant candlelit dinner on deck.
Day 7 – Manta Point & Rinca Island
Sail early toward Makassar Reef (Manta Point), where graceful manta rays glide effortlessly through plankton-rich waters. Snorkel alongside them for an ethereal underwater experience. After lunch, the yacht continues to Rinca Island, where a guided trek with park rangers reveals the legendary Komodo dragons in their natural habitat. In the evening, anchor near Pulau Kalong to witness thousands of fruit bats taking flight at sunset — a spectacular display of nature. Enjoy a farewell dinner on board, celebrating your journey with fine cuisine and the crew’s warm hospitality.
Day 8 – Disembark in Labuan Bajo Port
Savor your final breakfast on deck, enjoying panoramic views of the Flores Sea.
