    About This Vessel

    A’Boya is a 28-metre traditional Indonesian phinisi schooner designed for private adventure charters across remote parts of the archipelago. The vessel hosts small groups of four to eight guests in three air-conditioned cabins, creating an intimate base for families, friends, divers, surfers and travellers who value flexible, off-the-beaten-path voyages.

    The accommodation comprises two master cabins with private ensuite bathrooms and one bunk cabin for children, solo travellers or friends sharing. Each master cabin sleeps two guests, while the bunk cabin accommodates up to four and uses a shared bathroom. All three cabins are air-conditioned.

    On board, five crew members and a Cruise Director support the voyage. Daily meals are prepared with fresh local ingredients. Published equipment includes snorkeling gear, two stand-up paddleboards, fishing equipment, scuba sets and a tender with a 40 HP outboard, supporting a mix of diving, snorkeling, paddling, island visits and relaxed time on deck.

    A’Boya sails private itineraries in Komodo, Raja Ampat and Sumbawa, with routes tailored to the group and adjusted for weather, sea conditions, safe anchorages and local regulations. Current third-party charter guidance starts from USD 2,400 per night; the final quote varies by destination, dates, group size and inclusions.

    The operator requires a 30% non-refundable deposit within five days of invoice, with the remaining 70% due no later than 60 days before departure. Cancellations 59 days or fewer before departure are charged at 100%. Dive insurance is compulsory for scuba divers, and comprehensive travel insurance is strongly recommended.
