Elbark Cruises
Updated 27 October 2026
Komodo VVIP phinisi with 9 cabins for a long voyage: that label is the owner's word for Elbark Cruises, and the cabins have to justify it. Six days for up to ten guests cost IDR 230,000,000 (≈ USD 14,110), and the boat sleeps 18. This page describes what is actually there.
VVIP is a class label chosen by the owner, not a rating. VVIP is the owner's own description, so we pass it on as a label and leave the cabins to make the case. They manage it.
Every cabin is air-conditioned, with its own bathroom, a rainfall shower and hot water. The master, Misool, runs to 34 sqm, with a bathtub, a work desk and a private balcony carrying a sofa and a jacuzzi. Weh and Mentawai give 13.6 sqm each, a bathtub and big windows.
Selayar and Rote, at 9.24 sqm, have ocean-view windows and a desk. The four lower cabins, 8.75 sqm, each have a small round marine window. Around them: 37 m of hull over three decks, local Wi-Fi, and a life raft for twenty-five persons.

Misool borrows its name from the karst islands of Raja Ampat, though the cabin itself faces Komodo water. Up on the top deck it offers 34 sqm, a double bed, a rainfall shower, a bathtub and a work desk. Its balcony holds a sofa and a jacuzzi, and no other cabin has either.
Give it to whoever wants a door that shuts out the party: a couple on an anniversary, the head of a family who likes to sleep late, a writer with a deadline. Over six days it stops being just a bed and becomes a private sitting room.
Next door, Weh and Mentawai suit guests who want space and a tub but can do without the balcony. Misool has its own set of photographs, jacuzzi included; the other cabins are shown through one set per cabin type.
Upper-deck master cabin of 34 sqm: double bed, rainfall shower, bathtub, work desk, and a private balcony with sofa and jacuzzi. Open-trip fare IDR 11,500,000 (≈ USD 706) per person.
A couple or the eldest guest who wants a balcony and a soak of their own.

A solo traveller or pair who want a private ensuite cabin at the lowest fare.
Check availability · SavuTen guests fill five cabins and leave four empty, which makes for a very quiet boat. Six days of the whole boat cost IDR 230,000,000 (≈ USD 14,110), the full fare for up to ten guests; it stays fixed until an eleventh joins.
Per day, per head, six days beat four. For ten guests the six-day share is IDR 23,000,000 (≈ USD 1,411); the four-day share is IDR 17,000,000 (≈ USD 1,043). Those four empty cabins cost nothing extra, since you are paying for the boat.
The route is a sample, because only the 3-day trip has a fixed stop list. Day 1: Sebayur or Siaba alone. Day 2: Taka Makassar and Manta Point. Day 3: Padar and Pink Beach. Day 4: Komodo Island, Pengah and Kalong. Day 5: Rinca and Manjarite. Day 6: Kelor. The captain fixes the final order and the weather has its say at every stop. Every night is aboard, at an anchorage the captain picks that evening.
| Guests | per boat | per person |

| 1–10 | IDR 230,000,000 (≈ USD 14,110) | IDR 23,000,000 |

A VVIP label does not mean a bar. No bar is listed for the boat, so we claim none, and alcohol is not included in the price. Nor does it mean a butler, a spa or a named chef; nothing of the kind is published.
It does not promise a crew number, a menu, a dining time or a sighting either. The days belong to the sea, the ranger and the captain. A guide and documentation sit outside the charter price and are quoted on request.
What you do get is all on this page: nine cabins, a master with a jacuzzi, 37 m of boat, and a price you can read out in full.
A free beach dinner setup comes with charters of 3 nights or more, and six days include five. What is eaten, where and when is settled with the captain on the day.
On a long charter lunch slides late, since the afternoon is in no hurry to arrive. A July sunset at Kalong comes at 17:57, and the sky deck is the place to watch it. The sky and the bats keep their own counsel, and nobody promises either.
Anything grander than the setup is on request, priced and agreed in writing first. No menu is published, so none is promised; ask us, and you hear what is possible in writing before committing.
Six days for ten guests: IDR 230,000,000 (≈ USD 14,110), or IDR 23,000,000 (≈ USD 1,411) each. Add two more and it becomes IDR 242,000,000 (≈ USD 14,847), IDR 20,170,000 (≈ USD 1,237) each, because every guest from the eleventh brings IDR 6,000,000 (≈ USD 368).
Park tickets are always extra. For 2027 the current list holds until a new one appears, and your figure is put in writing before payment. Split among ten, it is a number each guest can see at a glance.
Breakdowns, port orders and park orders are covered. The party either sails its dates on a phinisi of the same standing or better, for nothing extra, or receives everything back within 14 days. Tell the people who have booked leave for the week; that is what makes it safe to plan a long voyage a year out.

It is the owner's label for Elbark. VVIP is the label the owner uses, so we pass it on and describe what is on board: nine ensuite cabins, a 34 sqm master with a private balcony and jacuzzi, and a 37 m hull on three decks.
Misool, at the top of the boat: 34 sqm, a double bed, a bathtub, a rainfall shower, a work desk and a private balcony with sofa and jacuzzi. As a shared-trip cabin it costs IDR 11,500,000 (≈ USD 706) per person, two sharing.
No bar is listed for the boat, so we do not promise one, and alcohol is not included in the price. Ask us what can be arranged for your party, and the reply comes in writing before payment.
Yes. The free beach dinner setup applies from 3 nights, so any plan of four days or more qualifies. What is served, and on which beach, is agreed with the captain; a more elaborate dinner is on request.
Elbark Cruises is booked through PT Komodo Explorer Indonesia. We confirm your cabins, take the payment and arrange the pickup. The boat sails with its own crew.
