Explore the magical islands you will visit aboard Arumi Phinisi. Each stop offers a unique adventure from pink beaches to dragon encounters.
KELOR ISLAND
Ancient sailors called it "The Guardian." Dutch colonials built watchtowers on its crown. Local legend says it's a giant sea turtle turned to stone. A 20-minute climb rewards you with 360° views of dragon territories. The coral gardens below hide patrolling sea turtles in crystal shallows.
MANJERITE
Every sunset, tens of thousands of flying foxes launch from mangroves, creating a black river across orange skies. Ancient sea nomads believed these bats carried souls to the afterlife. Watch from your deck at 17:30. The sky will erupt. You'll forget to breathe.
PADAR ISLAND
Three crescent bays—turquoise, cobalt, jade—curve around dragon-spine ridges. Legend says a dragon princess died here protecting her brothers. Her body became the ridgeline. Her tears became three seas. The 30-minute climb is ruthless, but every explorer says: "I can die now."
PINK BEACH
One of only seven pink beaches on Earth. Microscopic red coral creates a rose-gold blush. Sailors once feared it was cursed by dragon blood. The reef drops from knee-deep to 50 meters—turtles, reef sharks, and octopi patrol waters so clear you'll think you're dreaming.
KOMODO ISLAND
Ground zero. The throne. Komodo dragons—largest lizards on Earth, unchanged for 4 million years. They sprint 20 km/h, kill with venom-laced bites. Trek with armed rangers. Watch them sun like kings. Feel evolution stare back. This isn't a zoo. It's their Kingdom
TAKA MAKASSAR
A sandbar that emerges at low tide, then disappears beneath waves. Sea nomads called it "Ghost Island"—a resting place for ocean spirits. Stand in the middle of the ocean with ankle-deep water. Snorkel where the island vanishes. Your private Maldives, but only for 2 hours.
MANTA POINT
A submerged pinnacle where currents collide, creating a cleaning station for manta rays with 7-meter wingspans. Divers call them "Royal Stingrays"—reincarnated ocean kings. The taboo: look, never touch. Watch them barrel-roll beneath you. Swimming with mantas IS your bucket list.
GILI LAWA
Twin islands—Lawa Darat and Lawa Laut—frame the golden highway between sky and sea. Ancient traders navigated by these peaks. At sunrise, watch the world ignite from savannah ridges. At sunset, the sky bleeds into three shades of fire. The 30-minute trek is steep, but the 360° view makes kings jealous.
SLABA ISLAND
Slaba rises like a fortress from deep blue—a volcanic dome crowned with savannah where white-bellied sea eagles hunt. Bajo fishermen call it "Pulau Rajawali" (Eagle Island), believing the birds are guardians of hidden treasures below. Dive the walls where currents deliver big fish, sharks, and swirling barracuda. Above: eagles. Below: an underwater avalanche of life.
SEBAYUR ISLAND
Sebayur guards one of Komodo's best-kept secrets: untouched coral gardens teeming with life. While others chase dragons, divers chase legends here—pygmy seahorses, ghost pipefishes, and macro critters hiding in soft coral forests. The bay is a natural aquarium. The hillside trek offers sunrise views without the Padar crowds.
KANAWA ISLAND
While crowds chase Pink Beach, explorers slip to Kanawa—pristine coral reefs, zero crowds. Fishermen once avoided it, believing the Sea Goddess protected these waters. The reef here is 80% live coral. Turtles nest on beaches. Blacktip sharks patrol shallows. This is the Komodo nobody talks about.
SABOLO ISLAND (RANGKO CAVE)
Hidden in Sabolo's limestone cliffs lies Rangko Cave—a saltwater cavern illuminated by a ceiling skylight. Sunbeams pierce the darkness, turning water neon blue. Local legend says bathing here grants courage to face dragons. Swim through the entrance tunnel. Surface inside the cathedral. Float in liquid sapphire while light dances on ancient rock.
BIDADARI ISLAND
Bidadari" means angel in Indonesian. One glance explains why. Powdery white sand. Turquoise shallows. Zero crowds. Fishermen say angels rest here between monsoons, leaving footprints in the sand that waves erase by dawn. Snorkel the fringing reef where baby blacktips patrol. This is your castaway fantasy—pristine, peaceful, perfect.

Sailing the Arumi Phinisi through Komodo National Park was a masterclass in understated luxury. As a solo traveler, I appreciated the quiet elegance of the Master Suite—spacious, well-ventilated, and positioned to catch the morning light across the Java Sea. Our itinerary included Batu Bolong and Crystal Rock, both exceptional for drift dives with strong pelagic currents. The crew anticipated needs without intrusion, a rare balance. I did find the Wi-Fi inconsistent past Long Beach, though honestly, that may have been the point. The dive team from Bali was particularly skilled, guiding us through narrow channels where reef sharks circled just beyond the light. Dinners were intimate—grilled mahi-mahi with tamarind glaze served under the stars. One additional day would’ve allowed a slower rhythm, especially at Wainilu’s secluded cove. Still, the Arumi Phinisi operates with a precision that feels both effortless and deeply considered. Waking to the sound of water lapping against teak hulls, with only the scent of clove and salt in the air, was its own form of meditation.

Turning sixty on the bow of Arumi Phinisi, watching a manta glide beneath a blood-orange sunset—difficult to imagine a more fitting moment. The team accommodated our group of twelve seamlessly, even customizing a small celebration at Loh Liang with a local brass band. The boat’s 2015 build shows in its thoughtful details: wide corridors, hand-rubbed decks, and cabins spaced for privacy. I had the forward twin, which caught the morning light beautifully. Snorkeling at Manta Point was the pinnacle—no cages, just you, the current, and those gentle giants. One note: the dive platform could use a non-slip upgrade after rain. Still, the naturalist guide’s knowledge of reef systems deepened the experience beyond mere sightseeing. Dinners were unhurried, often featuring grilled local fish with sambal matah. By day three, the rhythm of sail and silence had recalibrated my sense of time. A milestone marked not with noise, but with depth.

For my 40th, I wanted stillness with edge—Arumi Phinisi delivered. The team crafted a private dinner on Kanawa Island, torches flickering against the tide line. I’d flown in from back-to-back conferences, and the transition from chaos to the yacht’s silent glide through Nusa Kode’s strait was almost therapeutic. The cabin, though labeled 'Standard', had curated linen and a shower with actual water pressure—rare on phinisis. I spent hours on the upper deck with a book, watching monitor lizards stalk Komodo Island’s cliffs through binoculars. My only note: the evening wine list leans heavily on Australian reds; a French option or two would elevate pairings. But these are minor refinements. What stays with me is the quietude—the absence of engine noise at anchor, the way the crew moved without intrusion. It felt less like service, more like intuition.

Our six-person dive group chartered the Arumi Phinisi for a week-long exploration of Komodo’s lesser-dived sites. The boat’s layout made group dynamics easy—communal areas for briefing and bonding, private corners for retreat. We dove Castle Rock at slack tide, then drifted from Batu Bolong to Long Beach, where the soft corals exploded in color. The crew, many with years on phinisi yachts, anticipated gear needs before we voiced them. I found the Master Suite’s wardrobe slightly cramped, but the en suite was excellent—ample pressure, good drainage. The galley served a mean rendang, and the bar kept a decent stock of single malt, a rarity in these waters. One morning, we rerouted to Wainilu after spotting a pod of dolphins—flexibility that elevated the trip. The boat’s 2015 build means no frills, but everything functions with quiet reliability. We returned sun-bleached, slightly sore, and entirely fulfilled.

第二次來 Komodo,但首度入住 Arumi Phinisi,立刻感受到差異。不是更大的船,而是更懂節奏的航行設計。我們的 itinerary 從 Long Beach 開始,清晨無人沙灘上喝著 freshly brewed 咖啡,靜得只聽見浪聲。Bidadari Beach 的弧形海岸在 drone shot 下像月牙,美得不真實。我特別欣賞船上的閱讀角, curated 的書單有幾本印尼歷史,搭配冷氣與冰茶,是 perfect 的午後。晚餐時船長分享航線故事,語氣從容,像老友敘舊。唯一小缺:浴室地磚稍滑,長輩需注意。這次是 anniversary trip,不需要驚喜,只要 quality time,Arumi 提供了最恰好的 background。

سافرت مع زوجتي كجزء من babymoon، وكنا نبحث عن مكان يجمع بين الطبيعة والراحة. الـ Arumi Phinisi وفّر بالضبط ذلك. المقصورة (Standard Cabin) كانت هادئة، مع نوافذ كبيرة تسمح برؤية النجوم ليلاً. زرنا Wae Rebo، حيث تسلقنا الجبل مع دليل محلي، ورأينا القرية التقليدية المبنية على شكل قبب. العودة إلى الـ yacht كانت مريحة – استلقينا على السطح مع مشروبات عشبية باردة. ثم انتقلنا إلى Pink Beach، حيث سبحنا بهدوء. الطاقم استخدم drone لتصوير الشاطئ من الأعلى، وكانت الصور مثالية للذكرى. الـ food كان طازجاً يومياً – خاصة السلطات مع الليمون الطازج. الشيء الوحيد؟ بعض المصابيح في الحمام كانت باهتة، لكنه لم يؤثر على الراحة. الـ Arumi Phinisi جعلنا نشعر بأننا جزء من المناظر، لا مجرد زوار.

Som solo traveler søgte jeg ikke action, men balance – og Arumi Phinisi leverede det med en næsten skandinavisk fornemmelse for funktionel skønhed. 26,87 meter af ren, men ikke overdreven luksus. Min Standard Cabin var mere end tilstrækkelig: lydisoleret, med naturligt træ og et vindue, der faktisk åbner helt. Rejsen var 4 dage, med stop ved Rinca Island og Padar – begge steder hvor landskabet virkede næsten arkaisk. Jeg tog mit eget drone equipment med, men crewet tilbød alligevel en professionel drone shot eftermiddagen før afrejsen – en gestus, der var velovervejet. Det eneste, der kunne have været bedre, var morgensmadens varianter – dejligt med frisk kokosvand og papaya, men måske én mere proteinbaseret option. Dog: når man sidder på fordekket med en turkis kaffe og ser solnedgangen over Castle Rock, glemmer man let sådanne detaljer. Crewet talte roligt engelsk, men forstod min behov for stilhed – ingen påtrængende tilbud, bare diskret service. Det er sjældent at opleve en sådan balance mellem elegance og autenticitet. Ikke en typisk ‘luxury boat’ med guld og glitter, men en, der respekterer stedet – og gæsten.

The Arumi Phinisi strikes a rare balance: traditional phinisi craftsmanship with modern comfort. I joined with my partner to celebrate our anniversary, and the crew accommodated our request for privacy without sacrificing warmth. We spent a morning at Crystal Rock—drift diving along a wall draped in gorgonians—then retreated to Bidadari Beach for a barefoot lunch under palm trees. The Master Suite’s sliding doors opened fully, blurring the line between cabin and sea. The only friction was a brief power fluctuation during dinner one night, quickly managed. The galley excelled with regional flavors: jackfruit satay, turmeric-infused rice, and fresh mango lassi. One evening, we anchored off Long Beach and kayaked at sunset, the only sounds the dip of paddles and distant bird calls. The boat’s size—26.87 meters—allowed intimacy without feeling cramped. With seven cabins, it’s large enough for friends, small enough for solitude. I’d return in a heartbeat.

For my 50th, I treated myself to a week on the Arumi Phinisi with two close friends. Arriving via Labuan Bajo, we were met with chilled towels and a smooth transfer to the yacht, already anchored near Bidadari Beach. The Master Suite’s king bed faced sliding glass doors that opened to the sound of waves—sublime. Our dives at Crystal Rock and Castle Rock were exceptional; the latter’s vertical walls teemed with trevally and grey reef sharks. The staff surprised me with a small cake after dinner one night, lit with a single candle—simple, but deeply touching. The only shortcoming was limited vegan options; I appreciated the effort, but more variety would’ve helped. Still, the galley adjusted gracefully when asked. One evening, we anchored off Long Beach and swam ashore at dusk, walking the empty shore as fireflies blinked in the mangroves. The boat’s age (2015) shows in minor wear—door hinges, soft furnishings—but never detracted. This was less a vacation, more a recalibration.
