About Le Costa Yacht Cruise
If you’re looking for space, service, and a rhythm that matches your pace—without the crowd—Le Costa Yacht Cruise fits. At 80 metres, it’s one of the largest Phinisi vessels operating in Komodo, yet carries just 18 guests across four cabins, with 14 crew ensuring every detail lands softly. That ratio means no queues for snorkeling gear, no waiting on dive guidance, and meals served exactly when you’re ready. It’s ideal if you’re travelling with a small group or couple wanting privacy but not isolation—ample common areas mean you can retreat or socialise freely.
Your days unfold with thoughtful timing. On Day 1, you’ll touch down in Labuan Bajo and transfer directly to the yacht. By late afternoon, you’re drifting near Kelor Island, where a short hike rewards you with panoramic views over volcanic islets as the sun dips below the horizon. Dinner is served under deck lights, with the sound of water lapping against the hull. Le Costa Yacht Cruise’s size means minimal rocking, so even if you’re sensitive to motion, nights here are deep and restful.
Day 2 starts early—for good reason. You’ll anchor off Padar Island before sunrise, hiking its iconic ridge as dawn paints the three beaches in shifting gold and rose. After breakfast, you’ll visit Komodo National Park’s ranger station at Loh Liang for the dragon walk, seeing these ancient reptiles in their natural habitat. Then it’s a short sail to Pink Beach, where crushed coral gives the sand its blush hue—perfect for midday swimming. By mid-afternoon, you’re floating above Manta Point, drifting with the gentle current as mantas glide beneath you. The boat carries both soft-touch fins and prescription masks, so vision isn’t a barrier to the experience. As evening falls, you’ll arrive at Kalong Island, where thousands of fruit bats take flight—a spectacle best enjoyed with a chilled drink from the upper deck lounge.
On Day 3, you’ll wake at Taka Makassar, a sandbar that emerges at low tide, surrounded by water so clear you can see stingrays gliding beneath the surface. Snorkeling here reveals shallow coral gardens teeming with parrotfish and clownfish. Later, a brief stop at Kanawa Island offers one final swim before returning to Labuan Bajo by mid-afternoon. The boat’s shaded deck is ideal for reviewing photos or reading in comfort, with fresh coconut water always within reach.
The cabins reflect a balance between nautical elegance and practical luxury. The Santorini Cabin, the only master suite, includes a private terrace and forward-facing windows for morning light. Marbella, Capri, Ibiza, and Monaco cabins are positioned for quiet, with ensuite bathrooms finished in travertine and marine-grade timber. Air conditioning is individually controlled, and blackout curtains ensure uninterrupted rest. There’s no in-cabin entertainment system—by design. Instead, the focus is on the view: sunrise over Rinca, the wake at dusk, or the Milky Way on clear nights.
