    Refviero

    Family-run phinisi trips through Komodo National Park

    Cruising Areas

    Komodo

    Refviero is used for short-format Komodo cruising from Labuan Bajo, with current private rates published for 2D1N, 3D2N and 4D3N and shared 3D2N cabin sales also available. The 15-guest capacity and four cabin classes make it a compact option for groups that want a whole boat without moving into the largest luxury tier. Published itineraries focus on trekking, snorkeling, manta-viewing and island stops rather than a specialist dive schedule. Wi-Fi is listed as part of the package, while the safety specification is unusually detailed for this class. Exact stop order changes with weather, tides and local operating conditions.

    Who This Suits

    A practical choice for travelers who want a scheduled 3D2N Komodo trip with a true four-berth sharing option as well as private double cabins. The itinerary is activity-heavy but not positioned as a dedicated diving liveaboard. Confirm the current cabin count with the operator, as published descriptions differ.

    About This Vessel

    Refviero is a compact 24.51-metre Komodo phinisi with published cabin categories and capacity for up to 15 guests with extra beds. The current 2026 private-charter rate card stops at 4D3N, making Refviero a short-format option rather than a boat aimed at week-long expeditions. Propulsion is by a Mitsubishi 8DC9 rated at 290 HP, and published specifications place cruising speed at roughly 9 to 10 knots.

    The current operator website says four cabins, while the referenced seller material lists a Master Cabin, two Deluxe Cabins on different decks, a Superior Cabin and a Sharing Cabin. This discrepancy is unresolved; the five room entries below describe the seller inventory and are not a confirmed current physical layout. Air conditioning is standard across the published cabin set. This mix lets a private group allocate rooms by comfort level, while selected shared departures can sell individual cabin space. With fewer cabin categories than many larger luxury phinisi, the buying decision is relatively simple and the vessel is easier to understand at a glance.

    Refviero's technical and safety information is better documented than its marketing copy suggests. The published equipment list includes two liferafts, AIS, Garmin GPS, EPIRB/distress signals, emergency oxygen, first-aid equipment, fire extinguishers and radio communications. Wi-Fi is listed among the package inclusions, although the source does not identify whether the connection is local cellular service or satellite; KomodoInsider therefore does not label it as Starlink or 4G in the structured internet field.

    The boat operates from Labuan Bajo for Komodo itineraries built around trekking, snorkeling and island-hopping. It fits travellers who want a shorter private charter, a moderate-size group capacity and clear cabin differentiation. It is less suitable for buyers specifically looking for a dedicated dive-liveaboard setup with published Nitrox, compressor and dive-guide ratios.

    Drone use Rp 2,000,000 ≈ $112 per unit, per day A separate special-use charge. Complete the required SiOra/SIMAKSI process before travel.
    • SiOra is the park’s e-ticketing and SIMAKSI system. Reserve before travel; Ministry guidance recommends completing the reservation by H-1. An operator can assist, and self-service is available at the Komodo Visitor Center and KP3 terminal.
    • Payment is cashless through the methods available in SiOra, including BRIVA or bank transfer and supported e-wallets. Keep the e-ticket and ensure the traveller details are correct.
    • A 1,000-visitor daily quota has applied since 1 April 2026 to the main visitor islands and 23 dive sites. Availability therefore depends on the travel date and registered itinerary.
    • The final SiOra total can include entrance, activity, vessel and special-use charges. Ask the handling operator for an itemised total before issuance.
    • Official public guidance does not state one universal refund or rescheduling rule for every reservation. Confirm the current SiOra terms in writing before the ticket is issued, including treatment of weather disruption.
