Komodo with Young Eyes
Taking our two children, ages seven and ten, on the La Sukha Speed Boat was a calculated risk. But the crew’s ease with kids made all the difference—snorkel guides who’d point out clownfish like they were old friends, and lunches with mango slices cut just so. We spent a blissful afternoon at Kanawa Island, where the kids waded in the shallows while we read under a sail shade. The single cabin sleeps four with pullman bunks—tight but manageable for a family. The boat’s 2015 build shows in the galley’s layout, but not in hygiene or service. What struck me most was how naturally the children adapted to the rhythm: waking with the sun, no screens, just water and wind. At Gili Lawa, our daughter spotted a reef shark and didn’t flinch—just whispered, ‘He’s just passing through.’ That moment alone was worth the trip.

Alone, but Not Lonely
Traveling solo on the La Sukha Speed Boat, I expected solitude. What I found was connection—subtle, unforced. The other guests were thoughtful, the crew attentive without intrusion. We spent a full day moving between Castle Rock and Taka Makassar, and at each stop, the sea revealed something new: a turtle grazing on seagrass, a reef shark slipping through shadow. The boat’s size—12 meters—means you’re never far from the water’s influence. I read on the bow for hours, lulled by the wake. The cabin, while functional, could use updated bedding—mine had a faint mildew scent, likely from humidity. But that’s a small flaw in an otherwise seamless experience. What lingers is the silence between islands, and the sense of being exactly where I needed to be.
Underwater Magic dengan Crew Profesional
Joining a dive group trip with La Sukha Speed Boat ternyata salah satu decision terbaik tahun ini. Meskipun ukurannya 12 meter dan hanya satu cabin, layout-nya smart—communal area luas, dive gear storage terorganisir dengan baik. We did three dives at Castle Rock—current-nya strong, tapi dive master sangat experienced dan aware. Sharks, jacks, even a manta sighting—we were in awe. The boat’s stability di laut agak bergelombang tetap baik, tidak goyah berlebihan. Post-dive, mereka serve fresh coconut dan light bites—simple tapi refreshing. One small thing: lebih baik kalau ada waterproof camera rental option onboard, karena beberapa dari kami lupa bawa. Tapi overall, operation-nya tight. Rinca Island sebagai penutup trip memberi balance—darat dan laut, action dan reflection. The way the komodo dragon melintas slowly di depan group, seperti ancient guardian—chills. Highly efficient, very professional.
La Sukhaで過ごした至福の4日間
正直、12メートルのボートでどれだけのプライバシーが確保できるか少し懸念していましたが、La Sukha Speed Boatのマスタースイートは想像以上。シングルキャビン構成にもかかわらず、広々としたデッキと完全に独立したバスルームが用意されていて、まるで専用リゾートにいる気分。特にピンクビーチでのサンセットはperfectで、スタッフがシークレットスポットへ案内してくれたのが感動的でした。ただ、ダイビングギアの種類がもう少し豊富だと、ダイバーにとってはさらに理想的。それでも、Kalong Islandの夕暮れに浮かぶシルエットをドローンで撮影できたのは一生の思い出。このitineraryは自然 loversには必見です。
La Sukha में Wellness और खूबसूरती का perfect मेल
Honestly, I didn’t expect such a serene escape just off Rinca Island—La Sukha Speed Boat surprised me in the best way. As someone who planned this wellness retreat to reconnect with nature and my partner, the minimalist elegance of this 12-meter phinisi was exactly what we needed. The master suite, though compact, felt luxurious with its teakwood finish and soft linen—waking up to the sound of waves near Gili Lawa was pure magic.
We kayaked at Bidadari Beach at sunrise—calm waters, golden light, and not a soul around. It felt like our own private paradise. The crew anticipated every need, serving fresh coconut and herbal tea just as the sun broke the horizon. I even managed a silent meditation session on the deck—something I haven’t been able to do in months back home.
Yes, the boat is on the smaller side—don’t expect a sprawling yacht experience—but that’s also its charm. It’s intimate, agile, and perfect for small groups. My only minor critique? The Wi-Fi was patchy, but honestly, was I really complaining? Being offline forced me to be present.
Our dive group loved the stop at Manta Point—crystal-clear visibility and graceful mantas gliding beneath. The captain timed it perfectly with the tide. A drone shot from there captured the entire itinerary in one breathtaking frame.
For anyone seeking a quiet, soulful journey through Komodo, La Sukha delivers an unforgettable experience—simple, elegant, and deeply grounding.
家族で体験した非日常の旅
子ども二人(6歳と9歳)を連れての旅行だったので、快適さと安全性が最優先でしたが、La Sukha Speed Boatはその点で信頼できる選択でした。船内はコンパクトながらも機能的で、特にLong Beachでのシュノーケリングは家族全員が大興奮。スタッフが子ども用ライフジャケットや特別メニューを用意してくれて、ホスピタリティが行き届いています。Padar Islandのハイキング後は、船上で冷たいココナッツウォーターをいただき、まさにリゾート気分。ただ、もう一つのベッドルームがあれば、長期滞在でもより快適かな。全体としては、最高のfamily getawayでした。
Escape yang Terukur dengan Baik
Aku dan istri memilih La Sukha Speed Boat untuk short escape dari Jakarta, dan honestly, the simplicity became the luxury. With only six guests max, tidak ada keramaian, hanya suara angin dan ombak. We anchored near Kalong Island saat sunset—ribuan kalong keluar dari mangrove, siluetnya dramatis di langit jingga. Moment itu priceless. Pelayanannya low-key tapi precise—breakfast served tepat waktu, towel sudah warmed saat morning swim. As a frequent traveler, aku hargai operational efficiency seperti ini. The boat was built in 2015, jadi tidak terlalu baru, tapi perawatannya excellent—no creaks, no musty smell. Satu note kecil: lebih baik kalau ada afternoon tea option selain kopi dan teh manis. Tapi overall, the rhythm of the trip—snorkel, relax, dine, repeat—felt deeply restorative. Not about extravagance, tapi about presence. That’s rare.
Raw Beauty, Real Connection
La Sukha Speed Boat offered a rare kind of luxury: space to breathe. As part of a small corporate group, we needed both adventure and reflection. Snorkeling at Manta Point, I felt humbled by nature’s grace. Later, Padar Island’s summit rewarded us with a 360-degree vista of turquoise chaos. The boat’s design—simple, wooden, uncluttered—focused attention outward. The 2015 build means some fixtures show wear, but never detract from the experience. The crew’s timing was impeccable—arriving at dive sites before currents shifted, serving coffee just as dawn broke. One night, the anchor dragged slightly—we woke to gentle rocking near rocks. But the crew resolved it swiftly. That slight tension only deepened our trust. La Sukha doesn’t pamper; she partners with the sea.

Perfekte Balance aus Stil und Abenteuer
Die La Sukha Speed Boat bot genau den richtigen Rahmen für unsere kleine dive group aus vier Tauchfreunden und zwei solo travelers, die nach Tiefe – sowohl unter Wasser als auch im Sinne von Ruhe – suchten. Bei 12 Metern Länge hätte man mehr Luxus erwarten können, aber das eine Cabin-Layout mit sogenanntem master suite Bereich überraschte positiv: clever platzierte indonesische Teak-Holzverarbeitung, dezente indirekte Beleuchtung und genug Stauraum für unsere gear. Unser itinerary führte uns von Batu Bolong nach Sebayur Island, wobei letzteres ein absoluter Geheimtipp ist – kaum Boote dort, kristallklares Wasser, ideale Sicht. Die crew verstand es, sich zurückzunehmen, ohne Service zu vernachlässigen. Morgens gab es frisch zubereitete Lombok-Omeletts, während der Kapitän leise die Route für den perfect dive spot justierte. Einzig der WiFi-Empfang war – wie erwartet – unzuverlässig, aber das war kein Manko, eher eine bewusste Entschleunigung. Als Fotograf schätzte ich besonders die flache Einstiegsluke zum Meer und die Möglichkeit, früh morgens einen drone shot von Padar Island aus zu machen, bevor andere Boote eintrafen. Die La Sukha ist kein megayacht, aber sie verkörpert echten phinisi-Charakter mit modernem Komfort – eine subtile Eleganz, die man nicht kaufen, sondern nur erleben kann.
