Derya is a 22-metre deluxe phinisi launched in 2021, sleeping up to 11 guests in 4 air-conditioned ensuite cabins. Private whole-boat Komodo charters start at USD 4,140 for 2D1N, with a jacuzzi on deck and a master cabin with bathtub and private balcony.
Anyone pricing a Derya liveaboard Komodo trip quickly notices she sits in a sweet spot: recent build, genuinely private, and specified like boats a tier more expensive. Launched in 2021, she is one of the younger deluxe phinisi Labuan Bajo has to offer, and it shows in the details that age fastest on wooden boats: bathrooms, upholstery, deck finishes. The master cabin is the headline, with its own bathtub and a private balcony over the water, an arrangement usually reserved for luxury-class hulls. A deck jacuzzi, mini bar, LED TV and a sundeck scattered with bean bags round out a boat built for slow afternoons at anchor.

Kristo’s curation note
Derya is my quiet recommendation for couples leading a family group: the master suite gives the bookers a genuine retreat while three more ensuite cabins absorb everyone else. The tradeoff is headcount; at 11 guests she is not the hull for big parties, and pushing her manifest is exactly what I refuse to do. Right-sized, she feels far more expensive than her rate.
Best for
- Couples and families of 6-11 wanting a phinisi with crew from Labuan Bajo without luxury-tier pricing
- Honeymooners who will actually use the bathtub, balcony and jacuzzi
- Guests comparing a newer hull against older, cheaper phinisi boat Komodo listings
- 2-night itineraries where deck comfort matters as much as the stop list
A typical 3D2N route on board
Derya’s recorded route covers ten anchorages, and a 3D2N charter strings the best of them: Kelor and Manjarite for first-day swims, the fruit-bat flight off Kalong at dusk, then day two through Padar Island, Long Pink Beach and the dragon walk on Komodo Island. The final day plays the reef card: Taka Makassar’s sandbar, mantas at Manta Point, and Siaba or Kanawa for a last snorkel before the sail home. Shorter 2D1N versions trim the edges; see our 2 days 1 night Komodo charter page for how that compresses.
Pricing, stated plainly
Derya sells per trip as a whole-boat private charter: USD 4,140 for 2D1N, USD 4,777 for 3D2N and USD 5,732 for 4D3N, for up to 11 guests with crew and meals aboard. No shared-cabin seats are sold on this hull. Note the shape of that ladder: the third and fourth days cost a fraction of the first two, which is why we usually counsel guests hovering at 2D1N to take the extra night; per day, it is the cheapest deluxe phinisi time you will ever buy.
Good to know before you book
Cabin allocation matters more on Derya than on most hulls because the master suite is so far ahead of the other three; decide within your group who takes it before boarding day, not on the gangway. Park entrance and ranger fees are additional at the standard schedule. The jacuzzi is filled on request, usually for the sunset anchorage, so tell the crew which evening you want it. Boarding is typically late morning from Labuan Bajo harbor, minutes from our Soekarno Hatta Street desk, and the crew handles luggage from the car door to your cabin.
