Samara Liveaboard: Sailing in Luxury Through Komodo’s Marine Paradise

Samara Liveaboard is a luxury sailing experience that takes travelers on unforgettable voyages across the waters of Komodo National Park and beyond. Combining traditional Indonesian craftsmanship with modern comfort, Samara offers a unique way to explore natural wonders above and below the sea.

Aphinisi Tradition Meets Modern Comfort

Samara yachts are traditional Indonesian wooden phinisi vessels handcrafted by skilled builders. These beautifully designed yachts blend time-honored shipbuilding with elegant comfort — creating a relaxing and stylish platform for adventure. Since their launch (with Samara I in 2016 and Samara II in 2017), they have been sailing from Labuan Bajo — the gateway to Komodo’s scenic archipelago — welcoming guests to discover secluded bays, stunning coral reefs, and dramatic island landscapes.

What to Expect On Board

Whether you choose a private charter or an open sailing itinerary, Samara Liveaboard promises a memorable journey tailored to your interests:

• Personalized Itineraries: On private charters, the crew works with you to shape your cruise plan — whether you want to visit hidden coves, secluded beaches, or the iconic Komodo dragons on land.
• Relaxation & Comfort: Guests can unwind on deck, enjoy scenic sea views, or socialize in comfortable lounges. The phinisi’s design brings together elegant wood interiors and open spaces perfect for soaking up the sun or sunset.
• Marine Adventures: Your journey may include snorkeling, swimming with manta rays, diving in coral gardens, or kayaking in calm bays. The crew often helps guests explore marine life and untouched spots around Komodo and nearby islands.
• Wildlife & Landscapes: Komodo National Park offers dramatic scenery, including pink beaches, rugged hills, and rich wildlife. From watching komodo dragons on their home islands to seeing giant flying foxes at dusk, every day brings new experiences.
