SEQUOIA

Indonesia’s Komodo National Park sits between the islands of Sumbawa and Flores in East Nusa Tenggara province, protecting three major volcanic islands, Komodo, Rinca and Padar, along with dozens of smaller islets across 219,322 hectares of land and sea. Established in 1980 and recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1991, the park is best known as the last wild home of the Komodo dragon, the world’s largest living lizard, with an estimated 5,700 individuals spread across Komodo, Rinca, Gili Motong and parts of Flores. This 7 day, 6 night yacht charter itinerary departs and returns to Labuan Bajo on Flores, the park’s gateway town, tracing a loop through its core islands. The route stays inside the national park throughout, so crossings between anchorages are short and the pace favours time on land and in the water over long open water passages.

Set sail from Labuan Bajo into the dramatic landscapes of Komodo National Park, where rugged savannah islands rise above turquoise channels, coral reefs fringe secluded beaches, and the legendary Komodo dragon still roams in the wild. The UNESCO World Heritage-listed park encompasses Komodo, Rinca, Padar and numerous smaller islands, creating one of Indonesia’s most distinctive yacht charter cruising grounds.

Over six days, this itinerary combines iconic highlights such as Padar Island, Pink Beach and Manta Point with quieter anchorages, reef snorkeling, wildlife encounters and long afternoons on the water. The route follows established liveaboard cruising patterns from Labuan Bajo while allowing a private yacht to slow the experience down, adjusting each day around sea conditions, guest preferences and the captain’s discretion.

Spanning over 17,000 islands, Indonesia offers one of the most diverse yacht charter experiences in the world. From volcanic landscapes and tropical beaches to coral reefs and cultural villages, the country presents an unmatched variety of cruising environments within a single itinerary.

An Indonesia yacht charter is defined by contrast and flexibility. Cruise between remote islands, explore vibrant underwater ecosystems, and experience a blend of natural beauty and cultural richness. Each journey is curated to balance exploration, relaxation, and refined onboard living across multiple island groups.
