Giona

The cabin split

Giona sleeps twelve across four cabins, and the split isn’t even. Poseidon, on the upper deck, takes up to four guests, a double bed plus two extra berths, and the boat’s only private balcony. Triton and Doris, both on the lower deck, hold a couple each in matching doubles. Thetis rounds out the main deck as the family room, two double beds and space for four under one roof. The names, Poseidon, Triton, Doris, Thetis, come from Greek and Roman gods of the sea, and the room sizes follow the hierarchy more than the decor does. All four cabins have their own bathroom and air con, so what actually separates them is space and privacy.

Evenings onboard

Giona doesn’t run to a fixed activity list. The crew reads the group and the weather and brings out the tender’s toys when the moment suits rather than on a schedule. It suits travelers happy to let an afternoon shape itself.

Two ways aboard, on one of the fleet’s smaller hulls

Giona runs the same cabin count as its own fleet-mate, four rooms each, though Giona’s listing puts total capacity at twelve against the other boat’s ten. Both trips, shared and private, stay inside Komodo Islands waters, and there’s no diving product on this hull, so the days center on cruising and snorkeling stops rather than tanks and dive briefings.

Private charter is priced by group size rather than by room, and the route bends around whoever’s aboard. The shared trip always runs three days, and you choose which of the four named rooms is yours when you book. Either way, Giona’s own crew and guide run every day of it.
