Komodo

Em’Ocean operates in Komodo as both a 12-guest private charter and a shared 3D2N cabin product. The vessel’s five physical cabins are sold through four room classes, so travellers can enter the route at very different price points without changing boats. Leisure itineraries combine trekking, snorkeling, manta and beach stops, with paddleboard and canoe use when conditions allow. For private groups, 2D1N through 4D3N rates are currently published; shared guests follow the fixed 3D2N departure pattern. This is not marketed as a dedicated dive expedition, so the page does not infer dive sites simply because Komodo itself is a world-class diving area.

Who This Suits

A good fit for couples, families and small groups who want a five-cabin leisure phinisi with all-ensuite accommodation and a mix of private balcony, double and family-style cabin layouts. The published trip focuses on trekking, snorkeling and island exploration rather than dedicated scuba operations.

About This Vessel

Em'Ocean is a 28.6-metre Komodo phinisi built from ironwood and teak, with five guest cabins and capacity for up to 12 people. It is sold in both private-charter and shared 3D2N formats, so buyers can choose between taking the complete vessel or booking one of the published cabin classes. A Mitsubishi 8DC11 diesel is the listed main engine, with cruising around 8 knots and 8,000 litres of water storage.

The five physical cabins are marketed through four room categories. Sunset is the premium two-person room with a private balcony; Horizon is a two-person main-deck room; Wave & Coral covers two lower-deck double cabins; and Lagoon is the larger lower-deck family-style room with a queen bed plus two singles. Every published cabin has air conditioning, an ensuite bathroom and hot shower, so the price difference is driven more by deck position, balcony access and occupancy than by basic bathroom comfort.

Onboard spaces include indoor dining, karaoke, a sundeck/rooftop area, bean bags, minibar and refrigeration, plus paddleboard, canoe and snorkeling equipment. Wi-Fi is listed in the current package inclusions, but the connection type is not identified by the source, so the structured internet field is intentionally not labelled as either local 4G or Starlink.

Em'Ocean is a leisure-focused Komodo option for couples, families and small groups that want a modern cabin setup without moving into a very large vessel. Shared departures make the lower-deck rooms accessible without chartering the boat, while private charter preserves flexibility for groups up to 12. The verified route focus is Komodo, with trekking, snorkeling, manta-viewing and beach stops rather than a published specialist dive program.

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.

Statutory fees under Peraturan Pemerintah No. 36 Tahun 2024, in force since 30 October 2024. Verified 31 August 2026 against the official PP 36/2024 schedule, the Ministry of Forestry SiOra notice and the Ministry’s 2026 quota notice.
