On board
The arithmetic is what sets Zada Nara apart in the deluxe phinisi Labuan Bajo bracket: fourteen guests across a 30-metre hull, and every one of the seven cabins is a proper two-person room with air conditioning, an ensuite bathroom and hot water. There are no bunk dormitories and no shared bathrooms anywhere on the boat. The master ocean-view suite sits above the rest with the widest window line on board.
Support kit is practical rather than showy: a tender speedboat for beach landings, Garmin GPS navigation at the helm, and hotel or airport transfers folded into the trip on both ends. She was launched in 2022, so joinery and plumbing are still young.
Kristo’s curation note
Zada Nara is the boat I hand to couples and small groups who want a real cabin rather than a bunk room, without paying the luxury-tier premium. The honest tradeoff is that there is no jacuzzi and no balcony theatre here — the budget went into seven proper ensuite cabins instead, and on a two-night trip I think that is the better trade.
Best for
- Couples who want a private ensuite cabin at a deluxe, not luxury, price point
- Groups of four to eight taking adjoining cabins on one departure
- Travelers comparing the Zada Nara price against luxury boats and finding the gap hard to justify
- Anyone allergic to shared dorms — every cabin here sleeps exactly two
A typical 3D2N route
Day one leaves Labuan Bajo mid-morning for Kelor’s short, steep viewpoint climb, a snorkel at Manjarite, then Kalong island at dusk, when thousands of flying foxes lift off the mangroves. Day two is the heart of the trip: the Padar ridgeline early, Komodo Island for the dragons, a stop at Pink Beach, then Manta Point and the sandbar at Taka Makassar if the tide is kind. Day three closes with a Kanawa or Rinca stop before the run home. It is the classic 3D2N Komodo charter shape, done at an unhurried deluxe pace on a phinisi boat Komodo travelers photograph from every angle.
When to sail her
The park’s dry season runs April through November, and Zada Nara’s all-ensuite plan earns its keep at both ends of it: hot showers matter more than travelers expect after a windy Padar dawn in July or August, when the south-east trades blow hardest and the anchorages chop up. Shoulder months — April to June, September to November — bring calmer water, thinner crowds and easier cabin availability. She sails through the wet months too at softer rates, with the caveat that January and February bring rain squalls and the occasional rescheduled departure. For honeymoon dates and school holidays, book the master suite eight to twelve weeks out; the four deluxe cabins move last and can often be had closer in.
Pricing, plainly
Zada Nara sells per person on shared 3D2N departures, and the cabin decides the fare: the four deluxe cabins are USD 481.92 each, the two suites are USD 797.73, and the master ocean-view suite is USD 895.00. Those figures are per guest, cross-checked against the operator’s current sheet. If you want the whole boat to yourselves, private charter is quoted on request by date — ask and we will price it against her sisters the same day.
