About Lamima
If your idea of Komodo travel includes space to stretch out, time to breathe, and the freedom to move at your own pace, Lamima fits. At 65.2 metres, she’s one of the largest traditional Phinisi in the region, and her layout means you won’t be sharing decks with strangers unless you want to. With capacity for 14 guests, she’s ideal for families or small groups who value privacy but don’t want to sacrifice service or range. Built in 2014, she blends classic lines with modern stability — essential when crossing from Komodo Island to Rinca or pushing west toward Sebayur during the afternoon lull.
Your days unfold without rush. Start at Kelor Island, where a short hike leads to panoramic views over Banta’s coastline — often empty of other boats by late afternoon. By sunset, you might be anchored in Komodo National Park’s quieter northern bays, with the spa deck facing the waterline so you can hear the current shift. The next morning, Padar Island’s switchback trail greets you at dawn, timed to avoid the midday heat and the largest day-trip groups. Afterward, snorkel off Pink Beach, where crushed coral gives the sand its hue — and where Lamima’s crew often has lunch set up on the beach by 11:30.
Diving and snorkeling are central, but not rushed. Manta Point isn’t just a stop — it’s a patient drift with the current, often with the boat following you to pick you up downstream. The crew knows the slack tides at Batu Bolong, and when the mantas are most likely to appear. From there, it’s a short sail to Kanawa or Taka Makassar, both offering long coral slopes and consistent visibility. If you’re diving, Lamima carries gear and supports both guided reef dives and shore entries, but doesn’t push a packed dive schedule — your rhythm matters more.
Back on board, the design supports both activity and recovery. The yoga deck is at the bow, raised slightly so your session isn’t interrupted by crew movement. The sundeck is shaded in the afternoon, with cushioned loungers positioned to catch the breeze. Meals are served where you choose — alfresco aft, in the salon, or even on a sandbar during low tide. Breakfasts include Indonesian options like nasi goreng or bubur ayam, not just Western staples. And because the galley is fully equipped, dietary needs (vegetarian, gluten-free, halal) are accommodated without fuss.
This isn’t a boat built for tight turnarounds. Her 3D2N itineraries allow time to miss a tide or change plans if the wind picks up in the Sape Strait. You won’t be herded onto tenders at 07:00 sharp — wake-up calls match your plans, not a rigid script. For guests coming from Bali or Java, the team coordinates flights into Labuan Bajo and pre-arrival updates on weather and anchorage conditions. If you’re weighing a faster boat against a more settled experience, Lamima suits those who’d rather travel slower, see more, and feel less like they’re ticking boxes.
