The Lasha boat Komodo charter is booked exclusively through lashacruise.com, the official desk of operator Komodo Luxury. LASHA is a brand-new 52.5-metre, 466GT luxury phinisi based in Labuan Bajo, carrying up to 26 guests in 10 ensuite cabins, with private charters from US$10,800 per night.
As a Komodo boat charter agency, we compare and list vessels sailing out of Labuan Bajo every season, and LASHA is the listing that resets the top of the market. She enters service with a maiden season beginning 17 August 2026 — the newest luxury phinisi operating in Komodo waters — built from ulin ironwood and teak in the Buginese tradition, measured at 466 gross tonnes, and arranged over four decks. This guide covers the practical side of a Lasha boat Komodo charter: what it costs, which trip formats exist, how large a group she takes, and how the booking process actually runs.
Why Is the Lasha Boat Komodo Charter in a Class of Its Own?
Scale, first. Most liveaboards working the national park measure 25 to 40 metres; at 52.5 metres LASHA sails as a superyacht-class phinisi. That extra length translates into amenities smaller hulls cannot fit: a jacuzzi set into the sun deck, a dedicated dive deck with its own gear stations, and a full Lounge & Resto rather than a single shared saloon. Her home port is Labuan Bajo, which puts Komodo National Park’s headline anchorages — Padar, Pink Beach, the manta channels — within a single day’s cruising.
Newness matters too. A maiden-season vessel means current-generation systems, untouched interiors, and a crew roster assembled specifically for this hull by Komodo Luxury, an operator running Komodo charters since 2015.
Which Trip Formats Can You Charter?
Four formats cover almost every use case we see as an agency:
- Full Day — US$11,000. Depart Labuan Bajo in the morning, cruise the park, return by evening. Suited to incentive groups and guests staying at Labuan Bajo resorts who want the ship without the overnight.
- 2D1N — US$13,900 special. One night aboard covering the core circuit: Padar ridge at first light, Komodo dragons, a manta swim. The shortest way to sleep on LASHA.
- 3D2N and longer — from US$21,600. The classic private-charter format. Two nights unlock the full loop at an unhurried pace; five to eight nights add the park’s outer reaches. Itineraries scale up to 9D8N at US$86,400.
- Expedition routes. Raja Ampat and Banda Sea crossings run at a five-night minimum, from US$11,600 and US$12,400 per night respectively, scheduled around the seasonal weather windows.
How Much Does a Private Charter Cost?
A Lasha boat Komodo charter is priced per vessel, not per person. The base leisure rate for Komodo itineraries is US$10,800 per night for one to fourteen guests, with a two-night minimum. Above fourteen, the rate steps up a published ladder that reaches US$17,000 per night at twenty-two guests, and dive-focused charters are priced at US$11,600 per night. The figures below follow the official LASHA rate card.
| Itinerary | Nights | Charter rate (1–14 guests) | Effective per night |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3D2N | 2 | US$21,600 | US$10,800 |
| 5D4N | 4 | US$43,200 | US$10,800 |
| 7D6N | 6 | US$64,800 | US$10,800 |
Budget one line item on top: national park and government fees of US$25 per guest per night, collected with the charter. Longer runs, dive supplements, and the full group-size ladder are itemised on the 2026–2027 rates page.
How Many Guests Fit Aboard — and in Which Cabins?
LASHA sleeps a maximum of 26 guests in 10 ensuite cabins across four decks: two Master Suites with private jacuzzi and balcony, four Junior Suites with balcony, two Grand Deluxe cabins, and two Deluxe cabins. For pricing purposes the sweet spot is fourteen guests — the largest group covered by the base rate — which maps neatly to seven couples, or two to three families with every party behind its own door.
Larger groups are exactly what this hull was built for. Corporate retreats and multi-generation celebrations of twenty-plus guests, which normally have to split across two smaller phinisi, stay on one deck plan here — one dining room, one itinerary, one crew.
How Does the Booking Process Work?
Every Lasha boat Komodo booking, whether it starts from an agency listing like this one or a direct enquiry, closes through the same official desk. The channels are fixed: the booking page at lashacruise.com, WhatsApp +62 811-3823-875, or [email protected]. The desk is run by Komodo Luxury, the vessel’s operator, established in 2015.
The sequence is straightforward. Send your dates, group size, and preferred format; the desk confirms availability and holds the slot; a contract and deposit fix the booking; the crew then builds the day-by-day itinerary around your group — dive plans, dragon-trekking permits, dietary briefs — before you land in Labuan Bajo. As a listing agency we route confirmed enquiries to that desk at the published rate: there is no agency markup, because pricing is controlled at the official vessel website.
Maiden seasons on flagship hulls book unevenly — school-holiday and shoulder-season weeks go first. If a Lasha boat Komodo charter is on your 2026–2027 shortlist, check the calendar early and reserve dates through the official desk before first-season demand closes them out.
