About The Oracle Yacht
If you're looking for complete privacy and a custom-paced exploration of Komodo with just your partner or a single guest, The Oracle Yacht is built for that rare level of intimacy. At 35 metres long, this handcrafted Phinisi delivers expansive deck space and quiet luxury, but with just one cabin, it’s designed for a single party — ideal for couples or solo travellers who want undivided crew attention and no shared spaces. You won’t find crowded lounges or overlapping itineraries here; instead, your schedule can shift slightly based on weather, wildlife sightings, or your preference for extra time at a quiet bay.
Your days unfold across Komodo’s most iconic sites, but with room to breathe. On Day 1, you arrive in Labuan Bajo and transfer to the yacht by tender. By late afternoon, you’ll be anchored near Kelor Island, where a short hike rewards you with panoramic views over volcanic islets and turquoise straits. As the sun dips behind the hills, you’ll return to the yacht’s sundeck with a drink, feeling the day’s warmth fade under a breeze cooled by the Indian Ocean.
Day 2 begins early at Padar Island, where a 45-minute climb before sunrise reveals a sweeping bay in three distinct tones of blue — pink sand below, green hills flanking either side. After photos and a light breakfast back onboard, you’ll head to Komodo Island for the famous dragon walk with a park ranger. Seeing these prehistoric reptiles in the wild is one thing, but having time to observe their slow, deliberate movements without a crowd pressing in makes the moment deeper. Later, you’ll snorkel at Manta Point near Batu Bolong, where up to a dozen mantas glide past cleaning stations — sometimes so close you’ll hear the water rush over their wings.
Afternoon brings you to Pink Beach, where crushed coral gives the sand its hue. You can swim, walk, or simply lounge with a book as the crew prepares iced towels and fresh coconut. As evening settles, you’ll visit Kalong Island, a mangrove colony where thousands of fruit bats emerge at dusk in swirling patterns against the orange sky. The Oracle Yacht anchors nearby, letting you witness the exodus without engine noise disturbing the rhythm of nature.
On Day 3, you’ll sail to Taka Makassar, a sandbar that appears at low tide like a mirage in the middle of the sea. It’s a perfect spot for a final swim or a quiet moment before heading to Kanawa Island, where coral gardens rise close to the surface. Snorkeling here, you’ll see parrotfish, clownfish, and sometimes white tip reef sharks resting under ledges. By early afternoon, you return to Labuan Bajo, but not before a final meal served on deck — perhaps grilled mahi-mahi with sambal matah, followed by Indonesian coffee.
This isn’t a boat for large groups or budget-first travellers. It’s for those who value space, silence, and subtle details — like having your favourite drink remembered, towels warmed after a swim, or a snorkel mask defogged before you even ask. With just one cabin, The Oracle Yacht doesn’t just offer luxury; it offers discretion.
