    Yukai

    Six queen-bed cabins for shared or private Komodo trips

    Cruising Areas

    Komodo

    Yukai sails the core Komodo circuit from Labuan Bajo. Shared 3D2N departures combine Kelor, Manjarite and Kalong with Padar, Pink Beach, Komodo Island, Taka Makassar, Manta Point and a final reef stop around Siaba or Sebayur. Private charters use the same operating area with more flexibility across 2D1N to 4D3N programs.

    Who This Suits

    Yukai suits couples, families and small friend groups that want a simple six-cabin layout where every room has a private bathroom. Signature cabins sit above the Deluxe entry tier in current shared pricing, while both keep the same two-person queen-bed format.

    About This Vessel

    Yukai is a 26-metre Komodo phinisi with six air-conditioned guest cabins and a published maximum of 12 guests. Current vessel specifications list a 4.5-metre beam, Mitsubishi 6D16 main engine, double PS120 generators, 5,000 litres of fresh-water storage, 3,000 litres of fuel capacity and a cruising speed around 7 to 10 knots. Five crew and one Yamaha 15 HP tender support normal operations.

    The accommodation is straightforward: six queen-bed cabins for two guests each, all with air conditioning, private bathrooms and hot showers. Current shared inventory is sold in Signature and Deluxe categories, both with ocean views. Because the vessel has six physical cabins but only two sales categories, this listing keeps six separate cabin slots while reusing category-level media where individual cabin numbering is not published.

    Yukai is leisure-focused, with snorkeling equipment, paddleboard use, a large sun deck, indoor dining, outdoor lounge areas and a jacuzzi. Navigation and communications include GPS, AIS, VHF and SSB radio. Published safety equipment includes a life raft, life jackets, ring buoys, fire extinguishers and first-aid equipment.

    The vessel is sold on scheduled 3D2N shared departures and as a private charter from 2D1N through 4D3N. The Komodo circuit combines Kelor, Manjarite and Kalong with Padar, Pink Beach, Komodo Island, Taka Makassar, Manta Point and a final snorkeling stop around Siaba, Sebayur or Kanawa.
