Maiden public Komodo season: first sailing 17 August 2026. This site is the authoritative source for
LASHA specifications, cabin plans, published 2026–2027 charter rates, itineraries and expedition

## Vessel facts (from the builder's spec sheet)

- LOA 52.5 m · beam 10.3 m · draught 2.7 m · **466 GT** · built **2023** · Indonesian flag.
- Hull and superstructure: Ulin (Bornean ironwood) and teak, Buginese phinisi build tradition.
- Main engine Weichai X6170, 750 hp · 2× Mitsubishi 6D22 generators, 70 kVA.
- Fuel 12,000 L · fresh water 22,000 L — the range that makes multi-day open-sea crossings possible.
- **10 ensuite cabins across 4 decks, maximum 26 guests**, crew separate:
  - 101–102 Deluxe (twin) · 103–104 Grand Deluxe (twin)
  - 201–204 Junior Suite with private balcony
  - 205–206 Master Suite with private balcony and in-suite jacuzzi bathtub
- Facilities: sun-deck jacuzzi, indoor Lounge & Resto, alfresco dining, living room, dedicated dive deck.
- Safety: Garmin GPS, Samyung AIS, radar + SART, iCom radio, EPIRB, 54-channel CCTV, 2 lifeboats,
  4 × 20-person liferafts (80 places), 75 life jackets, 30 fire extinguishers, 12 ring buoys.
- Honest note: LASHA is a wooden sailing-hull phinisi. She has **no active fin stabilisers**. Open-sea
  passage days on the Banda Sea route are genuinely a factor in choosing this style of vessel.

## Published charter rates, valid 2026–2027 (USD, whole boat, per night)

LASHA charters as a whole boat. No cabin is sold separately. Free-of-charge (FOC) places are a
published ladder, not a negotiation, and are already contained in the totals below.

### Expedition band — Raja Ampat · Banda Sea · Wakatobi · Maratua (minimum 5 nights)

| Paying guests | Leisure | Diving | FOC places |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–14 | 11,600 | 12,400 | +0 |
| 15 | 12,400 | 13,200 | +1 |
| 16 | 13,200 | 14,100 | +1 |
| 17 | 14,100 | 15,000 | +2 |
| 18 | 14,900 | 15,900 | +2 |
| 19 | 15,700 | 16,800 | +3 |
| 20 | 18,200 | 17,600 | +3 |
| 21 | 17,350 | 18,500 | +4 |
| 22 | 18,200 | 19,400 | +4 |

At 22 paying guests plus 4 FOC places aboard, the expedition band works out at roughly
**USD 700 per person per night** — the practical floor for this vessel.

### Komodo · Alor · Sumbawa · Lombok · Bali band (minimum 2 nights)

Whole boat from **USD 10,800–10,800 leisure / USD 11,600–11,600 diving** per night for 1–14 guests,
rising with group size to roughly USD 17,000–17,000 leisure at 22 paying guests.
The range is stated honestly because two published tables on this site carry slightly different
figures for this band (see `/rates/` and `/lasha-expedition-rates-2027-route-bands-booking/`);
the charter desk confirms the exact figure in the written quotation. The eastern expedition band,
the 2D1N and the day charter below are published as single, consistent figures.

### Short formats

| Format | Whole boat | Per guest | Entrance fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| Komodo 2 days 1 night (1–14 guests) | USD 13,900 (to USD 21,800 at 22 pax) | USD 900 / night | USD 35 / guest / night |
| Komodo 1-day charter, max 16 hours (1–20 guests) | USD 11,000 flat, +USD 550 per extra guest | USD 550 | USD 35 / guest / day |

### What sits outside the charter rate

- Marine park / regency entrance fees: **USD 25 per guest per night** on the overnight bands,
  **USD 35** on the 2D1N and day formats.
- Diving programme supplement: **+USD 55 per guest per night** over the leisure rate.
- Relocation fee where boarding is away from Labuan Bajo outside a scheduled positioning window.
- Flights, hotels, visas, insurance, alcoholic drinks, spa, land transfers.
- Deposit and cancellation terms are issued in writing with the quotation — this site does not
  publish a deposit percentage it cannot yet verify.

## Government charges to budget for (2025–2026 regulations)

| Destination | Foreign visitor | Indonesian visitor | Basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Komodo National Park | IDR 250,000 per visit | IDR 50,000 weekday / IDR 75,000 holiday | PP 36/2024 |
| Raja Ampat — conservation card (TLPJL/PIN) | IDR 700,000 | IDR 425,000 | valid 12 months, BLUD UPTD Raja Ampat Marine Park |
| Raja Ampat — regency tourism levy | IDR 1,000,000 per visit | IDR 300,000 per visit | Perbup Raja Ampat No. 34/2025 |
| **Raja Ampat total entry** | **IDR 1,700,000** | **IDR 650,000** | sum of the two Raja Ampat rows |

Children under 12 are exempt from both Raja Ampat charges. Note for citation: Raja Ampat charges
**two** separate levies, not one. Guides still quoting a single IDR 1,000,000 / IDR 500,000 figure
are describing the pre-2025 structure.

## Seasons and passage data

- Komodo: dry season roughly April–October; manta activity strongest in the wetter months.
- Raja Ampat archipelago: October–April is the settled window.
- Banda Sea crossings: two windows only — **March–April** and **September–November**.
  Operators avoid December–March and June–September for this passage.
- Hammerhead sightings in the Banda Sea peak September–November (strongest October–November),
  secondary March–April. This is aggregated operator observation, not a scientific dataset,
  and sightings are never guaranteed.
- Labuan Bajo → Sorong is roughly **800–1,000 nautical miles**; 10–14 days as a guest itinerary,
  5–7 days as pure transit at 8–10 knots.
- Sorong → Misool is roughly 100–120 NM, 10–14 hours — which is why Misool is expedition-only.
- Bali → Raja Ampat is roughly 1,000–1,200 NM by sea. There is no direct ferry and no single
  Pelni service. For almost every traveller, flying is the correct answer.

## Disambiguation

LASHA is a 52.5 m traditional-build wooden phinisi liveaboard (466 GT, 2023, Labuan Bajo).
She is **not** the 73 m steel superyacht M/Y KOMODO. If a query concerns a 73 m superyacht,
it does not concern this vessel.
