Planning a private Komodo boat trip? One of the most important decisions you’ll make is choosing the right Phinisi boat — and it’s not just about luxury or price. The size of your group directly affects your comfort, privacy, and overall experience.
At MMB Komodo Tour, we offer a range of Phinisi boats that cater to different group sizes. In this guide, we’ll help you find the ideal boat for your group — whether you're a couple, family, or large group of friends.
For Couples or Honeymooners (2–3 People)
If you're planning a romantic escape, choose a smaller Phinisi or private boat with just 1–2 cabins. Key benefits include:
- Full privacy (no sharing with others)
- Cozy cabins with en-suite bathrooms
- Romantic upper deck for sunset views
- Easy to customize itinerary
Recommended boat: Phinisi Barakati (1 master cabin, 1 deluxe cabin)
For Families with Children (4–6 People)
Traveling with kids or multi-generation family? Look for boats with separate cabins and open spaces:
- 2–3 cabins (some with bunk beds for children)
- Lounge area for games or relaxing
- Safety railings and child-friendly design
- Staff that can assist with meals and kids' needs
Tip: Choose a boat with AC in every cabin to keep young travelers comfortable.
For Small Groups of Friends (6–10 People)
Perfect for friends celebrating birthdays, reunions, or a once-in-a-lifetime Komodo trip together:
- 3–5 cabins
- Lounge deck for group dining or sunset parties
- Stereo system or karaoke available on some boats
- Enough room to socialize without feeling cramped
Make sure each couple or individual gets a cabin — or agree to share space beforehand.
For Large Groups (10+ People)
For company retreats, yoga groups, or big family vacations, you'll need a larger Phinisi boat with:
- 5–7 cabins or more
- Large communal dining space
- Spacious sun deck with mattresses
- Multiple crew members to serve you efficiently
Important: Book large boats well in advance, especially during high season (June–September).
How to Match Group Size to Boat Specs
| Group Size | Cabins Needed | Ideal Boat Length | Key Features |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2–3 people | 1–2 | 15–20 meters | Privacy, romance |
| 4–6 people | 2–3 | 20–25 meters | Family-friendly |
| 6–10 people | 3–5 | 25–30 meters | Social deck, comfort |
| 10+ people | 5–7 | 30+ meters | Full charter capacity |
What to Avoid
- Booking a boat too large for your group = wasted cost
- Booking a boat too small = cramped, uncomfortable trip
- Choosing a boat without private bathrooms for mixed groups
- Not checking bed types (double vs twin) before confirming
Final Tips Before You Book
- Ask for a boat layout/floor plan
- Confirm if meals and snorkel gear are included
- Check for AC, hot water, sun deck, shaded areas
- Don’t forget to clarify crew size and languages spoken
