Papiton Lopi

Komodo Islands

8 Packages

11 Guests

4 Cabins

Four cabins, wood paneled throughout, wrapped around a bowsprit net you can walk straight out onto. Every room sits on the main or upper deck, not stacked below, so nobody draws the short straw on a windowless cabin. Good for couples and duos after a compact, no-frills sail, plus solo travelers who'd rather book the dedicated bunk room. Join the shared trip, or charter the boat and set your own route.

Overview

A small boat, and every cabin above the waterline

Papiton Lopi carries four cabins total, nothing more, in a stretch of Komodo liveaboards that mostly aim bigger. That size is the point: a smaller group aboard, a shorter walk between the bowsprit and the sundeck, and a boat that never feels like it’s stretching to fit one more booking in.

None of Papiton Lopi’s four cabins sit below deck, a detail easy to skim past and worth pausing on. It means there’s no low, windowless room waiting at the bottom of the boat for whoever books last, because one was never built. The whole layout is arranged around that choice rather than around a selling point added after the fact.

Four rooms, and the bowsprit everyone photographs

Hindia takes the upper deck and is the only room with an extra bed, the pick if three of you want to share one cabin rather than book two. Arafuru and Natuna are near-identical sea-view doubles on the main deck, so choosing between them comes down to whichever’s free. Pacific Room breaks the pattern on purpose: four single beds and a shared bathroom outside the cabin, built and marketed as the solo traveler’s room rather than the one nobody wants.

Papiton Lopi’s bowsprit carries a net you can walk straight out onto, open water moving beneath your feet and nothing between you and the horizon. It’s the picture every guest ends up taking, and one of the few things on this boat that photographs better than any spec sheet can describe it.

Shared trip or the whole boat

The fixed departure sails weekdays Monday to Wednesday, plus a weekend run that moved to Thursday-to-Saturday for 2026 to dodge the busiest days on the water, and runs three days through the park’s early stops: Siaba and Manta Point for the water, Padar at sunset, Pink Beach and Kalong the next day, Manjarite and Kelor to close it out. Charter the boat instead and the route opens up entirely, from a single day to a full week, set around whoever’s on board.

FAQs

March through November is the recommended window, tied to calmer sailing conditions, not a hard cutoff written into the schedule. The fixed shared departure carries no stated season at all. If your dates fall outside that window, ask us directly rather than assuming the answer is no, we’ll check what’s actually sailing and confirm before you book.

A day trip without sleeping cabins can pack in a considerably bigger group than an overnight sailing, since nothing is capped by berths. If you’re booking the liveaboard, go by the overnight headcount we confirm with you rather than any day-trip figure, they’re two different bookings running on two different capacity rules.

Both a bath towel and a beach towel are standard inclusions on the shared trip, so packing your own beach towel isn’t necessary. It’s a small detail, but useful if you’re trying to pack light for a few days on the water.

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.
