Sailing Beyond Dreams

A Private World of Ironwood, Marble and Open Water

LASHA phinisi cruise underway on the Flores Sea

A brand-new 52.5-metre, 466 GT luxury phinisi of Ulin ironwood and teak, sailing her maiden Komodo National Park season from 17 August 2026. Up to 26 guests in 10 ensuite cabins, two of them Master Suites with in-suite jacuzzis. Full-boat charter rates are published in full on the rates page, through Komodo Luxury, her official marketing partner. See what life on board the LASHA liveaboard looks like day to day.

Some ships are refitted into luxury. LASHA was drawn this way from the first pencil line — a Buginese phinisi of Ulin ironwood and teak, white-ivory interiors, marble bathrooms, brass-gold detailing, two jacuzzis. Conceived for a single purpose: to carry 26 guests through Komodo without asking anyone to share her with strangers.

What follows — specifications, all ten cabins, 2026–2027 rates — carries the same numbers as your contract.

Maiden Season

First Sailing: 17 August 2026, Indonesian Independence Day

Her first public departure leaves Labuan Bajo on 17 August 2026 — Indonesia’s Independence Day. The date is deliberate: the pinisi is the nation’s signature sailing craft, and UNESCO inscribed the art of its building as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2017. A new phinisi beginning her working life that day is a small act of maritime patriotism.

The timing favours her guests: a maiden season opening in late August is rare — peak-grade conditions on a brand-new vessel, without the year-long waitlist.

  • 30–40 mUnderwater visibility inside August’s dry season
  • Sep–NovCalmer anchorages, thinner crowds, manta activity rising
  • 6–12 moHow far ahead established phinisi sell July–August

The full launch story is on the blog — why LASHA launches on Independence Day. The 2027 calendar is already open, with July–August dates moving from this September.

The Cabins

Which LASHA Cabin Should You Choose?

The Destination

What Will You See in Komodo National Park?

Established in 1980 to protect the Komodo dragon and inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1991: 219,322 hectares of land and sea across Komodo, Rinca and Padar, plus dozens of smaller volcanic isles. A LASHA itinerary threads its signature stops.

The Expeditions

Where Does LASHA Sail Beyond Komodo?

LASHA follows the weather. Komodo runs April to October; the wet months of December to March bring rougher seas and the fewest departures — but the year’s best manta activity and lowest prices. Then Raja Ampat for the sheltered November-to-April window, and Banda Sea crossings in the shoulder seasons: September to November for hammerheads, again in March–April. Expedition routes carry a five-night minimum — rates are on the rates page, route maps on the Raja Ampat page.

The Dive Deck

Is LASHA Set Up for Divers?

Yes. A dedicated dive deck on the Main Deck keeps tanks, kit-up benches and rinse points out of the guest spaces — so a 26-guest family charter and a serious dive expedition can be the same trip. Central sites work year-round, northern sites peak March–October, and the southern sites around Nusa Kode come alive from October to March; visibility is at its 30–40 metre best in June–September. Dive rates are on the rates page.

Sites, seasons and how dive guiding works aboard are covered on the diving page.

Quick Answers

Three Questions Guests Ask First

When does LASHA start sailing?

Her first public departure leaves Labuan Bajo on 17 August 2026. The maiden Komodo season runs through the calm September–November shoulder, and the 2027 calendar is already open for booking.

How many guests can LASHA take?

Up to 26 overnight across 10 ensuite cabins with extra beds, or up to 35 on the 16-hour Komodo day cruise — capacity that most luxury phinisi, at five to eight cabins, cannot offer on one hull.

Is LASHA a private charter or an open trip?

A full-boat private charter: one group, one itinerary, one vessel. For 14 or more, the private rate usually beats premium per-cabin alternatives per person — the desk can run the comparison for your exact headcount.

More answers — park fees, children aboard, what is included — live on the FAQ page.
