Our 100% Electric & Silent Vessel: The Technology

At the heart of the Electric Yacht Komodo experience is our state-of-the-art propulsion. We have replaced the conventional diesel engine with a powerful 150 kW silent electric motor, powered by a 400 kWh high-capacity battery array. This revolutionary approach eliminates the disruptive noise—reducing engine sound by over 90%—vibrations, and exhaust fumes of traditional yachting. The result is a profound connection with the marine environment, hearing the lap of the Flores Sea, the cry of a sea eagle, and the breath of a manta ray as it surfaces nearby.

Our commitment to clean energy extends throughout the vessel. The battery banks are augmented by over 50 square meters of sophisticated solar panels, harnessing the abundant Indonesian sun to power onboard systems. This intelligent energy management ensures reliability and an extended electric-only range of up to 60 nautical miles, allowing us to explore the most remote corners of the archipelago with minimal environmental impact. It is a seamless integration of advanced engineering and ecological responsibility, designed to preserve the very beauty you have come to witness.

Bespoke Charter Itineraries

Every journey with us is a personal narrative, crafted to your desires by our expert cruise director. While we offer three template itineraries, ranging from 3 to 7 days, they serve merely as a starting point for a voyage that is uniquely yours. Whether you seek thrilling encounters with prehistoric dragons on Rinca, serene moments on one of the park’s 29 islands, or top-tier diving adventures, we curate an experience that aligns with your vision of the perfect Komodo exploration.

Classic Komodo (3 Days / 2 Nights)

Our 3-day/2-night itinerary is an ideal introduction to the park’s wonders. It focuses on iconic highlights, beginning with a trek on Rinca Island, home to a dense population of over 1,300 Komodo dragons, to observe them in their natural habitat. We then ascend Padar Island for the striking sunrise panorama of its three distinct bays, followed by snorkelling and relaxation on the famous Pink Beach (Pantai Merah). The journey is a perfectly balanced immersion into Komodo’s dramatic landscapes.

Archipelago Explorer (5 Days / 4 Nights)

For those wishing to delve deeper, our 5-day/4-night voyage ventures beyond the main sites. We explore the coral gardens of Siaba Besar, a haven for sea turtles, and seek out the gatherings at Manta Point, where reef mantas with wingspans up to 4 meters congregate. The itinerary includes navigating to secluded anchorages like Gili Lawa Darat for spectacular sunsets and Taka Makassar, a mesmerising sandbar less than 100 meters long that appears like a mirage in the turquoise sea. This is a more profound exploration of the park’s biodiversity.

Custom Expedition (7+ Days)

For the ultimate private charter, we design a completely bespoke expedition starting from 7 days. Your interests dictate the course. We can arrange for PADI-certified dive masters to guide you through advanced sites like Batu Bolong, dedicate days to underwater photography, or facilitate cultural visits to the sea-faring community of 1,500 residents on Mesa Island. We can also simply find the most secluded coves for uninterrupted tranquillity. This is the definitive electric yacht Komodo experience, limited only by your imagination.

Onboard Luxury: Suites, Sundeck, Gourmet Dining

Our vessel is a sanctuary of refined comfort for up to 8 guests, designed to complement Komodo’s beauty. The interior spaces are finished with sustainable teak and locally sourced materials, creating an atmosphere of understated elegance. Each of our four private suites is a haven of peace, measuring over 15 square meters and featuring panoramic windows, 400-thread-count Indonesian linens, and spacious en-suite bathrooms stocked with environmentally friendly amenities. You will awaken each morning to mesmerising views of the ever-changing island seascape.

Life onboard flows effortlessly between the elegant interior and the expansive outdoor decks. The main sundeck is the social heart of the yacht, furnished with comfortable daybeds perfect for sunbathing, reading, or simply watching the world glide by. As evening descends, it transforms into an idyllic setting for al fresco dining under a canopy of stars, far from any light pollution. It is a space designed for both quiet contemplation and shared moments.

Dining is a central element of the charter experience. Our professional chef crafts a daily changing menu that celebrates the rich flavours of the Indonesian archipelago, fused with international culinary techniques. We prioritise fresh, locally sourced, and organic ingredients, from the catch of the day procured from a local fisherman to exotic fruits from the markets of Labuan Bajo. Every meal is a culinary delight, tailored to your specific dietary preferences and served with impeccable attention to detail.

Sustainable Sailing: Our Commitment to Komodo’s Ecosystem

Our philosophy is founded on the principle of preservation. The silent, zero-emission electric propulsion is just the beginning of our commitment. We operate under a strict ‘leave no trace’ policy that guides every aspect of our operations. The Electric Yacht Komodo is a pioneer in green chartering, demonstrating that luxury travel can and should be a force for positive environmental stewardship within this fragile and irreplaceable ecosystem.

Onboard, we have eliminated single-use plastics entirely, opting for refillable and sustainable alternatives. A state-of-the-art wastewater treatment system ensures that nothing harmful is discharged into the pristine waters of the national park. We actively support the local Flores economy by sourcing our provisions from community suppliers and contribute a portion of our revenue to local marine conservation initiatives. When you sail with us, you become a partner in the protection of Komodo for generations to come.

Frequently Asked Questions about Electric Yacht Charters

What is the range of the electric yacht?

Our vessel is engineered for extensive exploration within the Komodo archipelago. A full charge provides ample range to cover all iconic and remote destinations within a typical 5-day itinerary without issue. The system is augmented by onboard solar generation, and we have efficient, quiet backup generators for contingency, ensuring complete safety and reliability while maintaining our commitment to silent, emission-free cruising as the primary mode of travel.

Is an electric yacht as safe as a traditional one?

Absolutely. Our electric yacht meets and exceeds all international maritime safety standards. The electric propulsion system is a proven, robust technology with multiple redundancies built in. The vessel is equipped with the latest navigation and safety equipment, and our crew is rigorously trained in all emergency procedures. Safety is our highest priority, and our technology provides a reliable and secure platform for your adventure.

Is the experience truly silent?

The difference is remarkable. When underway using the electric motor, the disruptive, low-frequency rumble of a diesel engine is completely absent. You will hear the sound of water parting at the bow and the natural sounds of the environment around you. This creates an incredibly peaceful and immersive atmosphere, allowing for closer, less intrusive wildlife encounters and a genuine sense of tranquillity that is impossible to achieve on a conventional yacht.

What is included in the charter price?

Our pricing is designed to be all-inclusive for a seamless experience. The rate covers exclusive use of the yacht and its amenities, the services of our full professional crew, all gourmet meals, snacks, and non-alcoholic beverages. Also included are shore excursions, Komodo National Park entrance fees, local guide fees, and the use of all onboard water sports equipment such as snorkelling gear and paddleboards. The only supplemental costs are for alcoholic beverages, crew gratuities, and any special requests like private dive instructors.

Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?

Yes, certainly. Our professional chef is highly experienced in catering to a wide range of dietary needs, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal, and specific food allergies. We ask that you inform us of any dietary requirements or preferences at the time of booking so we can provision the yacht accordingly and design a menu that is both safe and delicious for you and your guests.

What is the best time of year to visit Komodo?

Komodo National Park is a year-round destination, but the best conditions are typically found during the dry season, from April to November. During these months, you can expect clear skies, calm seas, and excellent visibility for diving and snorkelling. The shoulder months of April, May, and October often offer a perfect balance of great weather and fewer visitors. Even in the wetter season (December to March), rain usually comes in short bursts, leaving the landscape exceptionally green and vibrant.

How do we get to Labuan Bajo?

Labuan Bajo (LBJ) is the gateway to Komodo National Park and is served by Komodo Airport. There are multiple daily flights from major Indonesian hubs, primarily Denpasar (DPS) in Bali and Jakarta (CGK). The flight from Bali is approximately one hour. Upon your arrival in Labuan Bajo, our team will greet you at the airport and provide a seamless private transfer to the harbour where your electric yacht awaits.

Is Wi-Fi available on board?

We provide complimentary satellite Wi-Fi, allowing you to stay connected for essential communication. However, due to the remote nature of the Komodo archipelago, the connection speed can be intermittent and is not suitable for heavy streaming or large downloads. We encourage our guests to embrace the opportunity to disconnect and immerse themselves fully in the natural surroundings for a truly restorative experience.

What qualifications does the crew have?

Our crew is comprised of certified professionals with extensive experience. The Captain and key officers hold internationally recognised maritime certifications (e.g., STCW). Our cruise directors often have backgrounds in marine biology or local tourism, providing expert guidance. All crew members are trained in first aid, safety procedures, and five-star hospitality to ensure your journey is not only enjoyable but also impeccably safe and well-managed.

What is your booking and cancellation policy?

To confirm a charter, we typically require a 50% deposit. The final balance is due 60 days prior to embarkation. Our cancellation policy is detailed in our charter agreement. Generally, cancellations made more than 90 days out receive a partial refund. We highly recommend all guests purchase comprehensive travel insurance that includes cancellation coverage to protect their investment against unforeseen circumstances.
