Senada is a 30-metre luxury phinisi offering the shortest overnight in our directory: a shared Komodo boat tour of 2 days 1 night from USD 246.91 per person, plus a fuller 3D2N from USD 493.76. Up to 18 guests sleep in six ensuite cabins, led by three panoramic suites.
Most travelers assume a real phinisi overnight demands three days they do not have. Senada is built for exactly that gap. Her 2D1N departure compresses the essentials — dragons, ridge, pink sand, mantas — into one night aboard, which makes her the natural answer for anyone sailing Komodo 2D1N between fixed flights. The boat itself gives nothing away to longer itineraries: three panoramic suites with wraparound windows headline six ensuite hot-water cabins, with a deluxe ocean cabin and two superiors behind them. Deck life is easy — a canoe in the water at anchor, a chill area amidships, bean bags on the sundeck and a proper indoor dining room.

Cabins and life aboard
The three panoramic suites are the headline — long window lines at the top of the plan, the cabins everyone photographs first. Behind them, the deluxe ocean cabin keeps a generous view of its own, and the two superior cabins hold the entry price. All six are ensuite with hot water and air conditioning. Deck life is unhurried by design: a canoe goes in the water at anchor, the chill area amidships collects readers and nappers, bean bags line the sundeck for the evening bat flight, and the indoor dining room means dinner survives a rain squall with nobody’s plate the worse for it.
Kristo’s curation note
The panoramic suites are the reason to book Senada — waking up to Padar filling a wall of glass is worth more than most amenity lists. My honest advice cuts the other way on duration: 2D1N is tight. You will see the icons, but you trade away the slow hours at anchor that make a phinisi trip what it is. If your flights allow even one more day, take her 3D2N instead — same suites, twice the sea time, and the difference per person is modest.
Best for
- Travelers with one spare night who still want a graded luxury phinisi Labuan Bajo departure
- Suite hunters — three panoramic suites is an unusually deep front row for a six-cabin boat
- First-timers testing liveaboard life on the lowest-commitment komodo boat tour 2 days 1 night format
- Returning visitors adding a short second loop to a Flores itinerary
A typical 3D2N route
On the fuller Friday 3D2N, her documented stops open with Kelor’s viewpoint and the ranger walk at Rinca, anchor at Kalong for the bat flight, then take Long Pink Beach, Manta Point, the Taka Makassar sandbar and Padar Island across the middle day, closing through Siaba and Kanawa. The 2D1N runs a tightened version of the same skeleton — Kelor, Kalong, Komodo Island, Pink Beach, Padar, Manta Point and Rinca are her documented short-loop stops. Compare both lengths against the templates on our 2D1N Komodo charter page before you choose.
Pricing, transparently
Senada prices per person, by cabin, on both shared formats. The 2D1N: superior cabins from USD 246.91, deluxe ocean from USD 320.98, panoramic suites from USD 351.85.
