On the lower deck, each Deluxe cabin pairs two twin beds with white-and-ivory joinery and a marble ensuite with rain shower — the identical stone, brass and rainfall standard fitted through all ten cabins aboard.
Every fleet has a cabin category that exists to make the brochure price work. This is not that. LASHA — a 52.5-metre, 466 GT phinisi launched in 2023, one of the largest luxury phinisi in the Komodo fleet — fits cabins 101 and 102 with the same marble bathrooms, the same rain showers and the same brass-gold detailing as the jacuzzi suites on the deck above. What the Deluxe tier gives up is the balcony and the bathtub. What it keeps is everything you touch.

What does the value tier actually give up?
Two things: the private balcony of the main-deck suites and the jacuzzi bathtub of cabins 205 and 206. Nothing else. And because LASHA sails as a full-boat charter, the shared vessel is equally yours — the Sun Deck with its open-air jacuzzi and loungers, the Lounge & Resto with indoor dining and bar, the alfresco dining table on the upper deck, and the Living Room with smart TV and PlayStation 5 one deck up. A Deluxe guest owns 52.5 metres of ship; the cabin is simply where the day ends.
The hull it ends inside is the same UNESCO story told everywhere aboard: Ulin ironwood and Jati teak worked in the Buginese phinisi tradition, a craft inscribed by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2017. There is no economy version of that.
Who sleeps in cabins 101 and 102?
On any large charter, the likely answer: teenagers and young adults on family sailings, the friends who joined late, dive pairs who want twins, and the colleagues on a corporate charter who drew the quiet deck and quickly stopped minding. On a vessel that hosts up to 26 guests across ten ensuite cabins, 101 and 102 are what let a big group bring everyone — the whole wedding party, all three generations — without a single guest sharing a bathroom. Groups needing third berths on this deck step up to the Grand Deluxe cabins 103 and 104, which add an extra bed apiece; the full assignment logic lives on the cabins & suites overview.
What does a day from cabin 101 look like?
Exactly like a day from the Master Suite, minus the bathtub. Wake for the sunrise climb on Padar, where operator step-counts put the staircase at roughly 800 to 838 steps and the reward is a saddle view over three differently coloured bays. Swim off Pink Beach, whose sand blushes because white coral grains mix with red-shelled foraminifera, according to marine guides. Trek Komodo or Rinca with the licensed ranger the park requires for every group, then return to a rain shower, dinner at the alfresco table and a twin bed inside an ironwood hull. The cabin tier never changes the itinerary.
Does a full-boat charter make sense for a big group?
The arithmetic favours scale. Market guides such as Komodo Resort’s put luxury open-trip liveaboard cabins at USD 400–600+ per person per night, and charter-market analyses place the private-versus-shared break-even at roughly six to twelve guests. On a 26-guest vessel the equation turns decisively once a group passes sixteen: at $700 per guest per night, a full LASHA charter lands in the same per-person territory as premium shared cabins — while the itinerary, the menu and all four decks answer to your group alone. From 15 guests, free-of-charge tiers begin: one complimentary guest at 15, rising to four at 21–22 guests.
When should a large group book?
Early. July and August departures on luxury phinisi routinely sell out six to twelve months in advance, according to operator season data, and large groups have the least calendar flexibility of anyone. LASHA’s maiden public sailing leaves Labuan Bajo on 17 August 2026 — Indonesian Independence Day, a fitting date for a vessel built in a UNESCO-inscribed national craft — and the realistic first-season window runs from late August through November, when seas stay calm and the crowds thin. Komodo National Park itself, the destination all ten cabins wake up inside, has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1991.
