Le Costa Yacht Cruise: A Classic VVIP Sailing Experience in Komodo

The Le Costa Yacht Cruise is a distinguished VVIP-class phinisi yacht offered through Komodo Padar Tour, designed to deliver an elegant and memorable liveaboard experience around Komodo Island and the Indonesian archipelago. With its classic design, refined comfort, and thoughtful amenities, Le Costa stands out as a charming yet luxurious option for travellers who want both authenticity and relaxation at sea.

A Yacht With Character and Comfort

Originally conceived in 2021 by an Indonesian naval architect as a cargo vessel for transporting copra in Sumatra, Le Costa was thoughtfully repurposed into a classic wooden yacht during the COVID-19 pandemic. Its transformation elevated the yacht’s stability, beauty, and overall comfort — creating a timeless sailing vessel that combines traditional craftsmanship with modern travel needs.

Le Costa accommodates up to 14 passengers across 6 ensuite cabins, and is supported by an experienced crew of 14 professionals who ensure each voyage is both comfortable and safe. This balance of classic charm and professional service makes Le Costa an appealing choice for small groups, families, or friends seeking a premium cruising adventure.

Onboard Facilities and Comfort

Le Costa’s design emphasizes comfort and sociability, with a range of communal and leisure spaces:

  • Indoor lounge and dining areas where guests can relax and enjoy meals in a cozy setting.
  • Expansive sundeck for sunbathing, stargazing, or simply taking in panoramic ocean views.
  • Water activity support, including snorkeling and swimming, allowing guests to engage directly with the region’s pristine marine environment.

The yacht’s spaces are designed to encourage both relaxation and connection — whether you’re lounging after a day of exploration or gathering with your group for a sunset drink.

Accommodations: Private and Comfortable

Le Costa’s cabins are tailored to provide a restful retreat after days of adventure in Komodo National Park. Each cabin typically includes:

  • A comfortable bed

  • A private ensuite bathroom

Cabin types often include Master, Deluxe, and Family options, giving flexibility for different group sizes and preferences.
