Two seats, a Friday or Monday sailing, and the right door

On the open trip a couple shares the boat with other guests, so "quiet" is relative. Seven cabins and at most sixteen guests make a small party, not an empty one. We claim no silence and no quiet engines. The fact is the ratio: one bathroom per cabin and at most sixteen guests.

Sailings leave on Friday & Monday for three days and two nights, Labuan Bajo back to Labuan Bajo. The next dated sailing is Friday, 4 December 2026. November 2026 is the docking month, and no open trip sails then.

What you choose is the pace. Day one is gentle: a short hill at Kelor, a snorkel at Manjarite, the bats at Kalong at sunset. Day two begins at Padar. On day three there is a snorkel at Sebayur or Kanawa, then the return. A couple who would rather skip the Padar climb stay aboard and have the morning to themselves.

Caveat: the captain picks the anchorage by the weather, and the sequence of stops can change.

A birthday or a golden anniversary at sea is arranged, never assumed. A cake, a decoration or flowers are priced before they are added, and nothing lands on the invoice that you have not seen. Anything that has to be bought in Labuan Bajo needs 30 days of notice.

Sunset at Kalong falls on day one, which makes that the natural evening for a toast; the bats leave the roost once the sun is down. The dinner on day two, after Taka Makassar, is the other good candidate.

With a golden anniversary, the cabin matters more than the cake. As the only cabin on the main deck, the Master Ocean has the fewest stairs, and for an older couple that beats the terrace of the Master Suite Ocean. Ask us about the stairs first and we describe the route in writing.

Decoration is available by arrangement, and each request is quoted on its own.

Three cabins suit two guests, and each one is a different bet.

• Deluxe Ocean, IDR 7,750,000 (≈ USD 475) per person: upper deck, double bed, sea-view windows, shower bathroom, no balcony. The sensible pick when the sea matters more than a terrace.
• Master Ocean, IDR 8,500,000 (≈ USD 521) per person: the only cabin on the main deck, with wide windows and a double bed. The pick for fewer stairs.
• Master Suite Ocean, IDR 9,500,000 (≈ USD 583) per person: upper deck, private terrace, freestanding bathtub. The pick for a milestone.

Prices are per person, two sharing. Down on the lower deck, the two Superior cabins have small portholes and cost less, which suits a couple who spend the day on deck anyway. Every cabin has air conditioning and its own bathroom. Hot water is confirmed in writing before payment, so if the shower temperature decides it, ask us first.

Beds are double, not twin. A twin arrangement is not published.
