Soe Besar Vanrei Phinisi
Nine occasions, one boat, in the order the questions arrive
Updated 8 November 2026
Celebrations for three generations come first on Soe Besar Vanrei, a phinisi with seven cabins and 16 berths. Each occasion page below carries one example party, priced from the same tokens: IDR 162,000,000 (≈ USD 9,939) for the whole boat on 3D2N, or IDR 3,850,000 (≈ USD 236) for one bunk on the shared sailing.
Occasions in the order our messages arrive
Nine occasions are listed here, ranked by how many messages reach the reservation team about each one. Family comes first: three generations on one boat, with ages, stairs and meals to settle before anything else. Groups of 8 to 16 come second. The whole boat is priced for 16 guests, so a bigger party simply splits the bill into smaller shares.
Couples follow, then honeymoon, solo travellers, snorkelling and kayaks, family photography and a small team offsite. A ninth page is for guests who ask what the operator's top class label means once it is turned into measured facts.
Every page works from the same hull and the same three routes. Only the cabin plan, the pace and the price line move.
What changes from one occasion to the next
Between pages the boat stays put: about 31 m of ironwood, seven cabins in five types, three decks, and an overnight anchorage the captain chooses. What shifts is the question each party asks first.
- Family: stairs, shade, child fares and the climb nobody has to make.
- Groups: who sleeps where when sixteen people share five types of cabin.
- Couples and honeymoon: one cabin, one date, one price per person.
- Adventure and photography: which stops ask for effort, and which hours give the best light.
- Team: an invoice, a cabin plan and sessions arranged on request.
So does the money line. A whole-boat party divides one price among its heads; a couple or a solo guest buys a seat at a per-person fare on the Friday and Monday sailings.
Choosing when two occasions overlap
Overlaps are normal. A golden anniversary inside a family trip belongs on the family page first, since the grandparents' cabin and the stairs decide the plan. The couples page then adds the cake and the date check. A team bringing partners and children reads the groups page for the split and the team page for the invoice.
Our rule is simple. Start with the page whose constraint is hardest to change and let the softer one follow. A guest who needs the main-deck cabin outranks a guest who wants the terrace, because only one cabin sits on the main deck.
Caveat: dates on the shared sailing belong to the boat's calendar, and we confirm every seat on WhatsApp before you pay.
