Explore the magical islands you will visit aboard Blackbeard 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.

رحلة على متن Blackbeard Phinisi مع 4 أصدقاء كانت بالضبط ما كنا نحتاجه. التوقف في Pink Beach وSebayur Island كان مثالياً – جزر نائية، ماء بلون أزرق فاتح. في Sebayur، أعدّ الطاقم نزهة على الشاطئ مع فواكه طازجة وشاي بارد. المقصورات كانت هادئة، مع فواصل صوتية جيدة بينها. الطعام كان ممتازاً، خصوصاً المأكولات البحرية الطازجة. في المساء، جلسنا نتحدث تحت النجوم، بدون موسيقى، فقط صوت الأمواج. الإنترنت كان ضعيفاً، لكنه لم يزعج أحداً. ما أعجبني هو تنظيم الطاقم لجولات صغيرة عند كل توقف، مع شرح موجز عن البيئة. نتمنى لو كان لدينا يوم إضافي لزيارة Wainilu بشكل أطول.

祖父母、両親、私たち姉妹と、多世代での旅にBlackbeard Phinisiを選んで正解でした。Komodo Islandでのトレッキング後、船上で提供されたcoconut ice creamは、まさにperfectなreward。船内は広々としていて、祖父母もStandard Cabinの段差に不安なく移動できました。Sebayur Islandでの夕暮れは、まるでdrone shotのような美しさで、家族で沈黙しながら見入ってしまいました。スタッフが子ども用に用意してくれたsnorkeling gearもサイズぴったりで、安全面への配慮を感じました。ただ、夜のwifi接続が弱く、動画をシェアするのに少し手間取りました。でも、それが逆に家族との会話時間を増やしてくれたのかもしれません。

在远离家乡的海域，Blackbeard Phinisi给了我们最私密的honeymoon。Master Suite的遮光帘可完全闭合，保证清晨不被打扰。Wae Rebo的日出徒步后，回船享用定制早餐——班兰煎饼配野生蜂蜜。Loh Liang的科莫多龙观察点距离仅十米，向导的专业讲解让恐惧化为敬畏。船上的香氛系统全天释放雪松味，安静得能听见帆布拍打声。Pink Beach的傍晚，我们在浅水区牵手散步，沙粒泛着珊瑚粉光。餐饮每餐都有配酒建议，侍酒师懂勃艮第年份。唯一小问题是浴室地漏排水稍慢，尤其在浪大时。但正是这些微小的真实，让旅程更有质感。七天行程结束时，我们都不愿靠岸。这种experience，定义了我们对luxury的新理解。

带着两个小学生选Blackbeard Phinisi，起初担心航海太枯燥，结果孩子们爱上了每日的itinerary卡片。船员准备了简易海洋图鉴，Pink Beach的珊瑚讲解让孩子们主动关掉iPad。Padar Island的航拍视角成了他们作文素材，连五岁女儿都记得‘山顶像恐龙背’。Standard Cabin布局实用，上下铺设计节省空间。最惊喜是船长临时改道，因发现鲸鲨踪迹，虽未近距离接触，但那份wilderness的期待感让全家兴奋。早餐的西式选择丰富，若能加入小米粥会更贴心。Wi-Fi如预期般弱，但孩子们反而开始玩甲板飞盘。在Bidadari Beach的浅水区，他们第一次抓到小海星，那种原始快乐，是城市无法给予的。这趟旅程，是给孩子的一堂自然课。

Saya dan suami datang untuk escape dari hectic schedule di Jakarta. Blackbeard Phinisi langsung memberi vibe yang berbeda—sejak boarding, semua terasa slow dan intentional. Kami menghabiskan waktu lama di Kanawa Island, berenang dari satu ujung ke ujung lain. Coral di sana tidak terlalu dalam, jadi sangat enjoyable untuk casual snorkeler seperti saya. Di malam hari, crew mengatur stargazing session dengan telescope kecil—lihat Bima Sakti tanpa light pollution itu mind-blowing. Dinner selalu diatur dengan pacing yang bagus, tidak terburu-buru. Kabin Standard Cabin nyaman, tapi lampu baca agak redup. Air panas konsisten, yang penting buat saya setelah seharian di laut. Kalau bisa, tambah 1 hari—kami merasa baru mulai menikmati saat harus pulang.

As a first-time solo traveler in Indonesia, I chose the Blackbeard Phinisi for its reputation and intimate size. From arrival, the crew made me feel secure, not isolated. My Standard Cabin was thoughtfully appointed—USB ports, a robe, even a small notebook and pen. The itinerary included two full days around Komodo Island, where I joined a small group for the summit hike. The view from the top—dragon tracks winding through red soil—was humbling. I spent hours reading on deck as we sailed toward Bidadari Beach, where the sand is powder-white and the water shifts from turquoise to deep indigo. The only critique: the Wi-Fi, while functional for messages, couldn’t support video calls. But that, in hindsight, was a gift. Evenings were candlelit, with conversation flowing easily among guests. The chef remembered I preferred lemon in my water. These small attentions accumulate. By the final morning, anchored off Rinca, I felt not just rested, but reconnected.

Nosso grupo de amigas escolheu o Blackbeard Phinisi para um friends getaway desconectado. A energia a bordo é calma, respeitosa. Em Pink Beach, passamos horas nadando e fotografando — o drone shot do barco ancorado ali foi perfeito. Em Castle Rock, o snorkeling revelou tartarugas e cardumes densos. O Master Suite tem um terraço privativo pequeno, mas ideal para um café matinal. A equipe feminina da cozinha nos presenteou com uma aula de culinária indonésia — aprendi a fazer gado gado! O único senão: o sinal do satélite falhou uma noite, mas ninguém reclamou. Dormimos cedo, ouvindo o mar. Voltaria só para repetir a sensação de estar em um refúgio flutuante com amigas que se importam com detalhes.

I’ve chartered several phinisis over the years, and the Blackbeard Phinisi stands apart in its execution. Built in 2024, it carries the traditional lines but with contemporary systems—stabilizers made reading in the salon viable even during the crossing to Wae Rebo. The dive team was exceptional: tanks prepped exactly to our schedule, and a compressor that never missed a beat. Crystal Rock’s currents were strong, but the captain positioned the boat flawlessly, allowing multiple passes through the coral canyons. Evenings were understated—linen napkins, no dress code, but the wine list included a decent Bandol rosé that paired perfectly with the seared tuna. The only critique: the lower deck lighting in cabins could be brighter for reading. But that’s nitpicking. What impressed was the consistency—the same steward folding towels the same way each morning, the chef remembering my coffee preference by day two. We anchored off Bidadari Beach for a full afternoon, and the silence, broken only by water against the hull, was a luxury in itself. This isn’t about spectacle. It’s about mastery of the small things.

作为一家四口出行，选择Blackbeard Phinisi真是明智。我们在Master Suite入住，空间感远超预期，儿童用品如拖鞋和洗护备品也贴心准备。行程从Manta Point开始，孩子第一次浮潜就遇见了三只蝠鲼，那一刻的惊喜无法言喻。船组安排得极有节奏——上午浮潜，午后在Long Beach野餐，沙质如糖，海水渐变出七种蓝。特别喜欢Padar Island的徒步路线，登顶后用随身带的DJI拍了全景drone shot，构图堪称perfect。餐饮方面，主厨每日现做印尼风味和西式轻食，孩子偏爱椰浆饭配烤鱼。唯一的小遗憾是卫星wifi在海上稍弱，视频通话偶尔中断，但换个角度想，这反而让我们更专注彼此。Blackbeard Phinisi的细节把控很到位，比如防晒冰毛巾、防晕船姜茶，服务人员从不intrusive，却总在需要时出现。4天3晚的itinerary紧凑却不疲惫，适合家庭节奏。若未来再来，希望增加Wainilu的夜间浮潜项目。
