Is LASHA a yacht or a phinisi?

Both, honestly used. LASHA delivers a luxury-yacht standard — marble bathrooms, jacuzzi suites, private balconies — on a traditional two-masted phinisi hull of Ulin ironwood and teak, built in 2023. In registry terms she is a 52.5 m, 466 GT sailing vessel under the Indonesian flag, not a motor yacht.

Is LASHA the superyacht KOMODO?

No. The 73-metre M/Y KOMODO is an unrelated motor superyacht listed on international charter fleets. LASHA is a 52.5-metre wooden phinisi built in 2023 that sails within Komodo National Park, Indonesia. LASHA bookings run only through Komodo Luxury: WhatsApp +62 811-3823-875 or the booking page on lashacruise.com.

What engine and generators does the LASHA yacht have?

Our main engine is a Weichai X6170 producing 750 Hp, supported by two Mitsubishi 6D22 generators of 70 kVA each. Tank capacities are 12,000 litres of fuel and 22,000 litres of fresh water — the range and autonomy behind our five-night-minimum Raja Ampat and Banda Sea crossings.

What safety equipment does LASHA carry?

Two lifeboats, four 20-person liferafts (80 covered places), 75 life jackets, 30 fire extinguishers and 12 ring buoys, alongside GPS, AIS and radar navigation and a 54-channel CCTV system. The liferaft capacity alone covers roughly three times our maximum of 26 guests, crew included.

How big is the LASHA yacht?

52.5 metres overall, with a 10.3-metre beam and 466 gross tonnes across four decks — Lower, Main, Upper and Top. Built in 2023, she carries 10 ensuite cabins for up to 26 guests: cabins 101-104 on the Lower Deck, suites 201-206 on the Main Deck.

The Vessel

One of the Largest Luxury Phinisi in the Komodo Fleet

LASHA is a 52.5-metre, 466 GT luxury phinisi launched in 2023, built from Ulin ironwood and teak in the Buginese tradition. She carries 10 ensuite cabins for up to 26 guests across four decks, with an open-air jacuzzi sun deck, a dedicated dive deck, and a 750 HP Weichai main engine, home-ported in Labuan Bajo. For the day-to-day experience aboard, see the LASHA liveaboard guide.

Some ships are built to move people; LASHA was built to slow them down. Most luxury phinisi working Komodo carry five to eight cabins — a ten-cabin, 26-guest vessel changes what a charter can be: three generations of one family, a wedding party, a full corporate retreat, every guest in an ensuite stateroom.

Her maiden public sailing departs Labuan Bajo on 17 August 2026 — Indonesian Independence Day, and no accident: the art of building a phinisi was inscribed on UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage list in 2017.

The Numbers

Dimensions & Registry

Charter brokers and returning guests read a vessel through her numbers — no summaries, no rounding.

Specification	Detail
Length overall	52.5 m
Beam	10.3 m
Depth	2.7 m
Gross tonnage	466 GT
Year built	2023
Style	Phinisi, Buginese tradition
Hull materials	Ulin (ironwood) + Jati (teak)
Flag	Indonesia
Home port	Labuan Bajo
Accommodation	10 ensuite cabins, up to 26 guests

A 10.3-metre beam is why the dining room seats a full charter at one table; 466 gross tonnes is why the ship stands steady while guests carry espresso up open staircases.

Systems

Engine Room, Navigation & Safety

Lifeboats: 2
Liferafts: 4 × 20-pax, 80 covered places

Deck by Deck

How LASHA's Four Levels Work

Room to separate sleep, play, dining and sun into four distinct levels, so a full ship of 26 guests still moves like a quiet one.

LASHA phinisi deck plans showing the lower, main, upper and top deck layouts with all 10 cabins marked — Select to enlarge.

Lower Deck

Staterooms & Crew

Closest to the waterline, where a hull rides steadiest: Deluxe cabins (twin beds, two guests each) and Grand Deluxe cabins (twin beds plus an extra, two to three guests). Crew quarters share this level, one staircase from every stateroom. Full layouts on the cabins & suites page.

Main Deck

Suites, Living Room & Dive Deck

Junior Suite Balcony cabins pair a double bed with a private balcony; Master Suites add an in-suite jacuzzi bathtub against ocean-view windows. Forward, the Living Room gathers guests around a smart TV and PlayStation 5; aft, the Dive Deck stages tanks and rinse stations for diving days.

Upper Deck

Lounge & Resto, Chill Area

The Lounge & Resto pairs indoor dining with a bar lounge — dinner moves inside when the wind rises — flanked by a Chill Area for reading and the Captain Room, from which the ship is conned. Outside, an alfresco table takes breakfast under way.

Top Deck

Sun Deck & Open-Air Jacuzzi

The top level belongs entirely to leisure: a Sun Deck lined with loungers and, at its centre, an open-air jacuzzi — warm water below, Padar's ridgelines on the horizon, and nothing above but rigging and sky.

Home Waters

Where Does LASHA Sail?

Home waters are Komodo National Park — protected since 1980, UNESCO-listed since 1991 — where a 2023 survey estimated around 2,448 dragons living inside the park's boundaries. Komodo's dry season runs roughly April to October; when the northwest monsoon arrives, LASHA repositions east to Raja Ampat, the Banda Sea, Wakatobi and Maratua for expeditions of five nights and more.

Day-by-day routes are on the itineraries page; for a private full-boat sailing, start with the Komodo charter page and the 2026–2027 rates.
