Alcira Phinisi (Captain Komodo)
In South Sulawesi in 2017, the traditional wooden phinisi boat known as Alcira was constructed. It can fit up to 12 people in its current configuration. We wanted to provide our guests a sense of room and comfort that we felt was lacking on many boats in Labuan Bajo when we created Alcira Phinisi. We made the most of every square inch to provide tranquil spaces where you may unwind while taking in the scenery, reading a book, or napping in preparation for your next journey.
The Phinisi
Traditionally, Ironwood and Indonesian Teak have been used to construct Alcira. Additionally, it is outfitted with all current safety gear, such as fire extinguishers, a liferaft, lifejackets, marine radio, GPS, and satellite phones.
With a maximum of 12 passengers onboard, she is quite suitable for small parties at 26 meters long and 4.2 meters wide.
Our onboard engineer maintains the six-cylinder engine, which has a cruising speed of 12 knots. Alcira can transport you quickly and comfortably throughout the Komodo Archipelago.
Alcira has a solar system that is up to date with modern technologies. Onboard power was available all day long thanks to this. There are 30 solar panels on the roof of Alcira. The sun’s energy charges 12 batteries and produces enough electricity to run all of your devices at any time. Moreover, it features a generator. While you sleep in your air-conditioned rooms, it will start and stop automatically for a few hours each night to replenish the batteries.
In addition to 1 tonne of fuel to run our primary engine and generator, we have 4 tonnes of fresh water on board.
The Food
Every day, our chef will make four excellent meals for you. You can take pleasure in either our salon or our deck, where you can dine beneath the stars at night or take in the breathtaking beauty of your surrounds during the day. We mostly serve food with Indonesian and Asian influences, with sporadic European specialties and a filling European and American breakfast. Of course, there is a wide variety of fresh fruit, salads, and fish available.
The Package

- Rinca
The second-largest island in the park is Rinca Island. Being home to more dragons than Komodo Island, it’s also the finest site to encounter them. However, you might also come across other wild animals like macaques, wild boars, horses, Timor deer, and water buffalo. Birds come in a wide variety as well. Three treks—one lasting an hour, one lasting two hours—will be recommended to you by the rangers. You may select any one you prefer. - Kelor

You may move around easily, take in the pristine beauty of nature, and delight in sightseeing. The hill can be climbed to access a breathtaking perspective of Komodo National Park. The sand is gentle, and the sea is clear. The water is home to a variety of fish species, including clown fishes with the common name Nemo. You can take stunning photos of aquatic life if you have an underwater camera. - Kanawa
Next, we’ll travel to Kanawa Island. It is regarded as one of south-east Asia’s most idyllic islands because of the magnificent reef that completely encircles it. You may observe countless fish species, turtles, corals, reef sharks, and occasionally manta rays just off the arrival pier when snorkeling in the clear seas at Kanawa.
