Ocean Manta

Komodo Islands

2 Packages

10 Guests

A private charter on Ocean Manta means an actual private boat, not a shared one with your name on part of it. The guest count tops out at ten, split however your group needs, and the six-stop route through the park bends to your pace. Prefer to join others, the shared day trip runs the same route at a flat per-person rate. Either way, you're off the harbor in the morning and back before dinner.

Overview

A route built for one day

Six stops make up the day: the climb on Padar Island, dragon tracks on Komodo Island, the rose-tinted sand at Pink Beach, a sandbar stop at Taka Makassar, then Manta Point before closing out at Siaba Island. Manta Point depends on what the current is doing that day, so treat a sighting as a bonus rather than a promise. Nothing on this route runs overnight: everyone is back in Labuan Bajo by evening. Transport to and from the harbor is included, with an English-speaking guide along for the day.

Built for small groups, not big ones

The charter tops out at ten, and most of what happens onboard reflects that: a shorter guest list, less distance between everyone, a boat that never feels like it’s working through a queue. Book it as a couple and you pay for the same base tier as a group of five, so if you can round the numbers up, it’s worth it. Push past five and the extra seats add on individually, up to the cap.

What’s aboard

An air-conditioned cabin gives you a shaded spot without leaving the boat, and the open sundeck with loungers is there whenever you want the breeze instead. Life jackets, a GPS, and a VHF radio round out the standard safety kit, and snorkel masks and fins come with the trip, so the water stops don’t need any gear of your own. Meals, water, coffee, and tea run through the whole day too, so nobody has to plan around bringing their own.

Komodo Islands

The ten-seat cap is what shapes an Ocean Manta charter: a small enough group that the order of the day, Padar, Komodo Island, Pink Beach, Taka Makassar, Manta Point and Siaba, bends around whoever's aboard rather than a fixed busload. Join the shared run instead and the same stops still fit into one day, back at the harbor by evening.

FAQs

Not necessarily: this fleet runs two hulls, Ocean Manta at ten guests and its larger sister Ocean Queen, and which one a shared booking lands on is assigned by availability and headcount rather than fixed at the time you pay. A private charter doesn’t carry that swap risk, but if boarding this specific hull matters to your group either way, ask us to confirm it before you book.

Ocean Manta caps out at ten guests on a private charter; Ocean Queen, which we also list, runs the identical route with thirty seats for groups that outgrow that number. Pick Ocean Manta for a tighter, faster-moving private day with fewer people to coordinate, or Ocean Queen if your group needs the extra seats. Both leave from the same harbor and cover the same six stops.

Chartering privately hands you the order, not just the pace: skip Manta Point if the current’s rough that day, linger longer at Pink Beach, or start earlier to beat the crowds to Padar. The shared day trip doesn’t offer that, it runs the fixed route adjusted only for weather. Tell the crew your priorities before departure rather than deciding stop by stop.

Shared trips are the most common way solo travelers sail with us: you book your spot, not the whole boat, and arrive to ready-made company. On liveaboards, if you’d rather not share a cabin, say so and we’ll sort a single or price the supplement honestly. More on the Shared Journey page.

The guest capacity on this page is the honest answer, and how your group fills it is up to you. Tell us who’s coming and we’ll confirm the setup that fits before you commit. More on the Private Charter page.

The route changes before anyone risks a crossing, so most weather problems show up as a different anchorage rather than a cancelled trip. On the rare occasion a trip can’t run at all, we work out a reschedule or a refund with you under our T&C. Itineraries are always a plan, never a promise.

We strongly recommend it, and dive insurance too if you’re diving. It isn’t included in any boat’s price, and out among the islands help is never next door, so a policy that covers boat travel is money well spent. Some dive boats require dive insurance, and we’ll tell you if yours does.

Yes, with a permit. The park requires one for every drone, and approval takes about three working days, so it needs arranging before you travel. There are no same-day permits, and flying without one risks having the drone confiscated. Kalong, Loh Buaya and Loh Liang are permanent no-fly zones, which puts the sunset bat flight off limits. We don’t arrange the permit ourselves, but ask us and we’ll talk you through how it works.

Fly to Labuan Bajo, usually via Bali or Jakarta, and the harbour is minutes from the airport. Come in the day before your boat leaves rather than the same morning: one delayed flight shouldn’t cost you the trip.

Calmer than most people expect. Every water we sail has its own calm window, and rough crossings are rarer than the word “sea” suggests. If you’re prone to motion sickness, take something before you board and you’ll barely notice: it’s the open stretches you feel, never the anchorages.

Less than you think. Reef-safe sunscreen, a hat, something long-sleeved for the sun, shoes that can handle a dry ridge, and a dry bag for anything that must stay dry. A soft bag beats a hard suitcase on any boat.

You message us, we check what’s actually free on the boat you’re after, then send everything in writing: the boat, the dates, what’s included and the real price. Happy with it? We issue an invoice and a secure payment link, and written confirmation seals it.

A down payment takes your dates off the calendar, and the balance follows closer to departure. The exact split and timing are on your quotation in writing before you commit to anything.

We issue an invoice with a secure Xendit payment link, sent by email and WhatsApp. You can pay by local or international card, virtual account, e-wallet, or QRIS. Everything is charged in Indonesian rupiah.

Plans shift, and we work with you when they do. Dates can usually be moved once if the boat is free, and if a trip can’t go ahead, we’ll walk you through your options rather than point at fine print. Anything that needs to come back to you returns the way you paid, usually within 7 to 14 business days. The full detail is in our Terms & Conditions.

They’re not included in any boat’s price, but you don’t have to deal with them on the ground. Say the word when you enquire and we’ll add them to your invoice, which locks your permit in before you arrive. No cash, no queue at the harbour the morning you sail.
