LASHA — a 26-guest luxury phinisi liveaboard with jacuzzi suites in Komodo
The newest luxury phinisi sailing Komodo — her maiden season is now open. Ten ensuite cabins, four decks, a sun-deck jacuzzi. One charter desk: Komodo Luxury.
A Private World of Ironwood, Marble and Open Water
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 charters from $10,800 a night 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.

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?
Four tiers across ten cabins — two Master Suites with jacuzzi and balcony, four Junior Suites with balcony, two Grand Deluxe, two Deluxe — sleeping up to 26 guests with extra beds. Every cabin is ensuite: white and ivory, marble bathroom, rain shower.
Compare layouts, occupancy and photography on the cabins overview.
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.

Rates valid for 2026 and 2027. For context: market guides place luxury open-trip Komodo cabins at $400–600+ per person per night — so at fuller occupancy a private charter lands in similar per-person territory, with all 52.5 metres, the itinerary and the anchorages kept to your own group. Full terms on the rates page.
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 at $750 leisure / $800 dive per person per night. Route maps are 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 charters run $750–$880 per person per night.
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.
Plan your LASHA charter
Late-2026 maiden-season dates and the full 2027 calendar are open now.
