A 32-metre (105 ft) private phinisi for a family or a group of friends, with six ensuite
cabins, a main-deck master, and a crew of eight out of Labuan Bajo.
Ikan Kayu is Indonesian for wooden fish. She is a 32-metre (105 ft) two-masted
phinisi, built in Flores in 2014. Six ensuite cabins. Thirteen is the published
overnight maximum. Eight crew, including a cruise director and a chef, run the house.
She works Komodo from Labuan Bajo year-round, and east Sumbawa when the week is long
enough for Gili Banta.
The night rate is written for ten guests. Three more can come aboard at an extra
per-person night. The master sits on the main deck: a double, ensuite,
air-conditioning, sea windows. Three more doubles share that deck. A fifth double
sits on the upper deck. Below, a triple with bunks takes children or a third adult.
Meals sit at a shaded table on deck. The upper deck is turf and beanbags, and converts
for outdoor films at night.
A 5.5-metre tender with an 85 HP engine runs the reefs and landings. Snorkel kit,
paddleboards and kayaks come with the week. Diving kit is extra, on demand. Three
nights is the usual Komodo minimum. Tell us the window and the headcount. We work
directly with the boat for the best price guarantee.

Questions
Ikan Kayu FAQ
What kind of ship is Ikan Kayu?
A 32-metre two-masted phinisi, built in Flores in 2014. Six ensuite cabins,
thirteen guests, eight crew including a cruise director and a chef. Private
charter is the usual booking. The name is Indonesian for wooden fish.
Who is she for?
A family that wants a lower-deck triple for children, or a group of friends who
want six doors that close without paying ultra-phinisi rates. Ten is the number
the night rate is written for. Thirteen is the published maximum.
How do the cabins sleep?
The master is a double on the main deck. Three more doubles share that deck. A
fifth double sits on the upper deck. Below, a triple with bunks takes three.
All ensuite, all air-conditioned. That is how she reaches thirteen.
Where does she usually cruise?
Komodo National Park from Labuan Bajo, year-round. Three nights is the usual
minimum. East Sumbawa and Gili Banta sit on the longer weeks. She is not a Raja
Ampat boat.
Can we book a cabin instead of the whole boat?
Some dates open as shared cabin nights. That is not the usual product and those
dates are not on our cabin calendar. Ask if that is what you want. Private
charter is still the honest first ask.
What sits outside the night rate?
The published night is for ten guests. Extra guests are $250 per person per
night, up to thirteen. Park fees are $30 USD per person per day. Diving kit,
alcohol and crew tips sit outside the rate. Snorkel kit, kayaks, paddleboards
and Labuan Bajo transfers come with the week.
