Mosalaki Private Phinisi Charter: Exclusive Komodo Sailing Experience
Mosalaki never sells cabins by the bunk. One group takes the whole boat, the whole crew and the whole schedule — from a single day out to six nights at sea.
In short
Mosalaki Cruise offers private phinisi charters in Komodo National Park, Indonesia, providing bespoke liveaboard sailing tours from Labuan Bajo. These 3-day, 2-night itineraries focus on snorkelling and exploring islands like Kanawa and Manta Point, ensuring an exclusive Komodo sailing experience for groups in 2027.
The difference from an open trip
What chartering the whole boat actually changes
On a shared departure you follow a fixed schedule with strangers. On a charter, everything below is yours to decide.
The clock
Dawn on Padar or a slow breakfast — the boat moves when your group is ready, not when a timetable says so.
The table
The chef cooks to your preferences, allergies and celebrations, briefed before you step aboard.
The company
Five cabins, one group. No shared saloon, no strangers on the sundeck, no negotiating over the music.

Exploring Komodo National Park: Beyond the Ocean
While snorkelling and marine life encounters form a significant part of our Mosalaki private phinisi charter, the Komodo National Park offers much more. Land excursions are integral to the experience. A visit to Rinca Island or Komodo Island provides the rare opportunity to encounter the legendary Komodo dragons in their natural habitat. These guided treks are conducted by experienced park rangers, ensuring both safety and insightful ecological information. Other land-based activities might include short hikes to panoramic viewpoints, offering stunning vistas of the surrounding islands and turquoise waters.
Beyond the iconic dragons, the park's terrestrial ecosystems host a variety of birdlife and smaller mammals. The unique geological formations and pristine beaches, such as the famous Pink Beach, add further dimensions to your Komodo private liveaboard charter. These diverse attractions ensure a well-rounded adventure, combining marine exploration with significant cultural and wildlife encounters. For specific information on dragon encounters, please see our page about Komodo dragon tours by boat.
