An Asik Original — run by us
Planned and run end to end by the Asik team. You book and deal directly with us, start to finish.
Overview
The whole boat, yours. Same Phinisi, same crew, same destinations as our open trip, but you set the schedule and there are no strangers. Charter from IDR 120M total for up to 10 guests on a 2D1N (under IDR 12M, about $750 per person), or IDR 140M for the 3D2N, with each extra guest up to 21 adding a fixed rate. A free private beach dinner comes with charters of 3 nights or more. Built for family reunions, weddings, freediving trips, and honeymoons.
Day 1
A flexible day, typically
Boarding in Labuan Bajo: board the Phinisi, drop bags in your cabin, and take the welcome briefing on the sundeck.
Cruise to a calm snorkel site (Sebayur, Siaba, or your pick) to warm up, then lunch on board sailing toward Taka Makasar. Early afternoon at the Taka Makasar sandbar, then a drift snorkel at Manta Point. At sunset, your choice of Padar's three-bay viewpoint or the flying foxes of Kalong. Dinner on board, then sundeck movies or karaoke. Want a more aggressive Day 1? Swap relax for freediving, a hidden snorkel, or a sunrise photoshoot.
Day 2
An optional
Wake call for the Padar sunrise hike (
), or sleep in, it is your trip. Breakfast on board sailing to Pink Beach to swim and snorkel off the sand.
Komodo Island and a ranger-led walk through dragon territory. Lunch on board cruising to Pengah Island for the trip's best coral snorkel, then a free afternoon. On 3D2N charters, a private beach dinner on a hidden cove in the evening: tables, lanterns, a chef ashore, no other guests. Common swaps: a deeper freediving session instead of Padar, Wae Cicu reef instead of Pink Beach, or Rinca instead of Komodo for fewer crowds.
Day 3
An easy wrap-up, typically
Return: breakfast on board cruising to Kelor for a short hike and one last panorama, then a final calm snorkel at Manjarite. Cruise back to Labuan Bajo with packing time and a late breakfast on the sundeck, arriving at the harbor between

1 to 21 guests. The base price for 1 to 10 is the same, so the per-person cost goes down the more you bring up to 10. From guest 11 to 21, each extra person is a fixed rate (IDR 4,500,000 on the 3D2N tier).
Yes, that is the whole point. We send a proposed itinerary based on your style (relaxed, action-packed, family, honeymoon, photographer-heavy) and you redline it. Common requests: skip the early sunrise, add a freediving spot, or swap an island for a fishing village.
On charters of 3 nights or more, we set up tables and lanterns on a private cove one evening, the boat's chef cooks ashore, and we coordinate music and any surprises (an engagement, a birthday cake) if you tell us in advance.
Yes, we have done both. Tell us early so we can plan flowers, a photographer, and a private cove setup.
Asik Travel designs, sells, and runs your charter end to end, from itinerary to airport transfers. The Phinisi is built and operated by our partner shipyard, Elbark Cruises, and crewed by the same team as our open trip. You book with us; the boat is a partner vessel.
Indonesia has no single dive season. Match your month to Komodo, Raja Ampat, Bali, Sulawesi, Wakatobi, Banggai, or Banda Sea instead of guessing.

ReadIndonesia is too large for one “best dive site” answer. Compare Raja Ampat, Komodo, North Sulawesi, Wakatobi, Bali, Banggai, and liveaboard routes by season and skill.
