Alfathran is a 27-metre deluxe phinisi built in 2018, running shared 3D2N Komodo boat tours from Labuan Bajo. Six air-conditioned cabins take 12 guests, with per-person rates from USD 451.02 in a Superior cabin; the Komodo park fee of IDR 650,000 is excluded.
Alfathran is what the deluxe tier looks like when it is doing its job: a proven 2018-built hull, six air-conditioned cabins in three honest grades, and a fixed 3D2N loop that covers the park’s essential card without luxury-tier pricing. For anyone shopping a komodo boat tour 3 days 2 nights on a per-person basis, she sits in the sweet spot — meaningfully more comfortable than the open-trip budget deck, meaningfully cheaper than the luxury phinisi berths, with an ocean-view master cabin for the pair in the group who want the upgrade.

Kristo’s curation note
Alfathran’s cabin ladder is one of the fairest I have seen documented: eighty dollars separates the cheapest Superior from the Master Ocean, so the upgrade decision is a dinner-out, not a dilemma. The Full Ocean and Master Ocean rooms with ensuite hot water are the ones to take. The tradeoff: the four Superior cabins share the plainer end of the boat, and her fixed shared schedule means your dates bend to hers.

Best for
- Value-focused couples who want a real phinisi boat Komodo trip with a private cabin
- Small groups mixing budgets — three cabin grades on one deluxe phinisi Labuan Bajo departure
- Travelers upgrading from the open-trip deck to their own room for a modest step in price
- Anyone who wants the classic 3D2N loop handled end to end, transfers included
On board
Six air-conditioned cabins split into three grades: four Superior rooms at the entry fare, then the Full Ocean and Master Ocean cabins with ensuite hot-water bathrooms and the views their names promise. Hotel and airport transfers, snorkeling gear and full crew service are part of the documented package. Her tankage — 3,000 litres of fuel, 5,000 of fresh water — is sized for the three-day format she actually sails, which is worth understanding when comparing her against boats built for week-long loops; our guide to phinisi classes unpacks where the deluxe tier earns its keep.
A typical 3D2N route
Her documented loop runs the essential circuit: Kelor Island and Manjarite’s reef on day one with Kalong Island’s bat exodus at dusk, then the full middle day across Komodo Island, Pink Beach, Padar’s ridge and Manta Point, closing with Kanawa’s shallows and Rinca’s dragons on the run home. It is the same skeleton as our 3D2N Komodo charter itinerary — nine stops, two nights at anchor, and the two big sunrises timed ahead of the day-boat fleet.
Pricing, stated plainly
Alfathran is priced per person by cabin on shared 3D2N departures, exactly as documented: Superior cabins from USD 451.02, Full Ocean at USD 491.02 and Master Ocean at USD 529.02. Note the exclusions honestly: the Komodo National Park fee of IDR 650,000 per person is not included and is paid separately, as are ranger and activity fees inside the park — our park fees guide itemizes what to expect. Fares include transfers, meals on board and snorkeling gear.
