For large-group Komodo charters of 20 to 26 guests, LASHA is one of very few luxury phinisi with the beds to match: ten ensuite cabins across four decks, 52.5 metres of deck space, and a published rate ladder that prices big groups fairly — from US$13,900 per night at 20 aboard. Official booking: lashacruise.com.
The large-group problem in Komodo
Most Komodo phinisi sleep eight to sixteen guests. Above that, groups usually split across two boats — two crews, two schedules, two anchorages, and a celebration cut in half. LASHA solves it with scale: up to 22 paying guests plus free-of-charge places for a maximum of 26 aboard, all in ensuite cabins, all at one table. Weddings, milestone birthdays, corporate retreats and three-generation family trips charter her precisely for this.
How the beds work for 20+ guests
Ten ensuite staterooms across four decks: two Master Suites (double + extra bed, jacuzzi, balcony), four Junior Suites (double + extra bed, balcony), two Grand Deluxe (twin + extra bed) and two Deluxe twins. Couples take the balcony suites; friends and older children pair naturally in the twins. The full plan is on the cabins page.
What a large group pays
LASHA’s ladder is published — the tier is set by the smallest paying count whose free-of-charge places cover your whole group, times the nights:
| Group aboard | Nightly rate (leisure) | 3D2N total |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 14 | US$10,800 | US$21,600 |
| 20 (18 paying + 2 FOC) | US$13,900 | US$27,800 |
| 23 (20 paying + 3 FOC) | US$15,400 | US$30,800 |
| 26 (22 paying + 4 FOC) | US$17,000 | US$34,000 |
At 26 aboard, a 3-day 2-night charter works out near US$1,300 per person for a private luxury phinisi — the arithmetic that makes large groups LASHA’s sweet spot. Full tables, diving bands and worked examples: rates.
Routes that work at this scale
The classic 3D2N Komodo loop (Padar dawn, Pink Beach, dragons, Karang Makassar mantas) runs unchanged for a full boat — the crew simply stages landings in two tender waves. Larger groups often add a night for slack in the schedule; see itineraries and the Komodo charter page. From October to April she also takes full-boat expeditions to Raja Ampat.
