Kayra Phinisi

Kayra Phinisi is a 37-metre private charter yacht built around small-group cruising, water activities and onboard wellness. With four ensuite cabins for eight guests and a crew of ten, it offers an unusually high crew-to-guest ratio for private voyages through Komodo National Park, Bali and Sumbawa.

Kayra Phinisi overview

Kayra spans three guest-focused decks and is available exclusively as a private charter. The layout includes a bridge-deck Master Cabin, a main-deck VIP Cabin and two lower-deck Guest Cabins. All four cabins sleep two guests and have private ensuite bathrooms. The official starting rate is USD 7,000 per night for the yacht, before any trip-specific items confirmed in the final quotation.

The official vessel profile lists 37 metres, while some charter databases round Kayra to 38 metres. This listing follows the operator’s current 37-metre specification. Build-year claims also differ across third-party sources, so no unverified year has been added here.

Cabins and private spaces

The Master Cabin sits on the bridge deck with a king-size bed, near-360-degree panoramic views and a large ensuite bathroom with a bathtub. The VIP Cabin occupies the main deck and pairs a king-size bed with sea views and an ensuite bathroom. On the lower deck, one Guest Cabin has a double bed and the other has twin beds; both provide porthole views, air conditioning and private ensuite bathrooms.

This four-cabin arrangement makes Kayra best suited to families, couples travelling together and private groups that value distinct sleeping layouts without increasing the overall guest count.

Wellness facilities and shared decks

Kayra’s defining feature is its wellness setup. Guests can move between an onboard gym, sauna, spa and massage area, then relax in the top-deck lounge, bar and Jacuzzi. The living and dining spaces use warm contemporary interiors, while open-air areas support alfresco meals, quiet sea views and private celebrations.

These facilities are part of a broader private-yacht experience rather than a fixed retreat programme. Massage scheduling, specialist treatments and any additional charges should be confirmed with the operator before departure.

Water activities

The yacht carries a broad selection of water toys, including a floating pool, eFoils, sea scooters, paddleboards, kayaks, towables, a wakeboard, waterski equipment and an inflatable waterslide. Snorkeling is included in the onboard activity concept, and diving can be arranged for suitably certified guests. Dive plans remain subject to equipment availability, guide arrangements, certification, conditions and the chosen itinerary.

On land, private Komodo programmes can combine guided hikes, wildlife observation and island visits. Every route remains flexible and should be adjusted around park regulations, sea conditions and guest ability.

Komodo and Sumbawa routes

The operator’s current programme focuses on Komodo National Park, Bali and Sumbawa, with Komodo and Sumbawa highlighted primarily from April to October. From Labuan Bajo, a private route can combine central, northern and southern Komodo depending on charter length and conditions. Sumbawa extensions may add quieter coastlines and wildlife-focused experiences beyond the national park.

Because Kayra does not operate as a fixed shared departure, exact anchorages, dive sites and daily timing should be agreed with the captain and charter team. No named site should be treated as guaranteed.

Price and booking notes

Kayra starts from USD 7,000 per night for private charter. At full eight-guest occupancy, that equals USD 875 per person per night before itinerary-specific costs. The final amount can change with season, route, fuel plan, transfers, park fees, beverages, specialist activities and onboard service requests.

Before paying, request a written quotation stating the charter dates, embarkation and disembarkation points, cabin allocation, inclusions, exclusions, payment schedule, cancellation terms, park fees, diving arrangements and insurance requirements.

Who Kayra suits

Kayra is strongest for an intimate private group seeking a contemporary phinisi with serious wellness facilities and an extensive water-toy programme. It is less suited to travellers looking for a low-cost shared departure, as the vessel is currently positioned for exclusive full-boat charter.
