Tailored charter, disclosed: Labuan Bajo Boat Charter is a planning specialist — not the official Komodo National Park website. Charter rates are per-night ranges that move with season and vessel; confirm your written quotation before paying, and wildlife sightings are never guaranteed. Briefs are handled by the Indonesia Juara concierge team — a sister brand within Juara Holding Group (relationship disclosed in full); bookings may carry referral value to the group at no extra cost to you.
Le Costa is a 27.8-metre luxury phinisi for private Komodo charters from Labuan Bajo, sleeping 12 guests in six cabins including a master suite with jacuzzi. Whole-boat trips start at USD 7,091 for 2D1N; there are no shared cabins, the boat is yours.
Le Costa exists for one kind of booking: a private phinisi charter Komodo trip where the group never shares a deck with strangers. Her cabin plan tells you exactly who she was built for — one super-king master with a jacuzzi, one family cabin with two queen beds, and four doubles. That is two or three families, or six couples, or a honeymoon pair who take the master and leave the rest of the boat gloriously empty. Everything below is documented from her published charter data, graded against the rest of the luxury phinisi Labuan Bajo tier.

Kristo’s curation note
The master cabin with its jacuzzi is what sells Le Costa, but the detail I rate most is the water maker with a water heater — it means long hot showers on day three instead of rationed tanks, which is the difference guests actually feel. The tradeoff is her pricing curve: the two-day rate is fair for the tier, but three and four-day trips climb steeply, so compare per-night before you extend.

Best for
- Honeymooners — the master suite makes her a natural luxury phinisi honeymoon Komodo pick; see our honeymoon charter guide
- Two or three families sharing one boat: the family cabin’s two queens solves the kids question neatly
- Groups of couples who want ensuite doubles and a genuinely private deck
- Paddlers — stand-up paddleboards carried on board for flat-water anchorages
On board
The interior runs to a sofa lounge, air-conditioned ensuite cabins and an open sundeck; the toy locker holds paddleboards for mornings at Taka Makassar or inside Kanawa’s lagoon. The water maker and heater keep the boat self-sufficient on longer loops. One documentation note we flag honestly: her published specs cite 12 guests in one place and 14 in another. We quote 12 as the comfortable configuration and confirm the operator’s true maximum before any booking for a larger group.
A typical 3D2N route
Her documented itinerary covers the full luxury loop: Kelor and Manjarite on the run out, Kalong Island for the bat sunset, then Komodo Island’s dragons, Pink Beach, Manta Point, the Taka Makassar sandbar, Padar at dawn and reef time at Siaba and Kanawa on the return leg. Over a 3D2N private charter the pace is unhurried, with the crew timing Padar and Pink Beach against the day-boat crowds — the entire point of taking your own boat.
Pricing, stated plainly
Le Costa is priced per trip for the whole boat. Documented rates: USD 7,091 for 2D1N, USD 11,360 for 3D2N and USD 15,628 for 4D3N. Read those as a curve, not a menu — the two-day trip is her sharpest value, while the four-day rate positions her against boats a class above. Split across twelve guests, 2D1N lands near USD 590 per person for a fully private luxury boat. Park and ranger fees are billed separately, standard across the fleet. Boats with a single master suite book unevenly — honeymoon dates in the dry season go first — so if the jacuzzi cabin is the reason you are here, ask early.
