About Ciela Liveaboard

Ciela Liveaboard was built around an idea rarely given structural form in a charter vessel: that genuine rest requires silence, and silence requires intention. The meditation space at the stern — separated from the galley and engine room by insulation that reduces ambient noise to a murmur — provides a rare refuge aboard a working boat, a place where guests can sit with the ocean without the ocean competing with machinery. At 28 meters, built from ironwood and teak with a crew of six, Ciela accommodates up to fifteen guests in a minimalist interior that strips back ornamentation in favour of quality materials and considered space. VHF and Wi-Fi are available for those who need them; the meditation area exists for those who need the opposite. The Mitsubishi 6D22 engine maintains a steady ten knots between Komodo's islands, and the galley produces clean, fresh meals timed around each day's activities. KomodoExplorer Indonesia presents Ciela Liveaboard for guests who understand that the best Komodo experience begins with arriving fully present.

Experience a bespoke Komodo sailing journey aboard our premiumKomodo Open Trip {year} | Shared Phinisi Tours from Labuan Bajofleet, where unparalleled hospitality standards meet traditional Indonesian phinisi craftsmanship in Komodo National Park.

What to Bring

Destination Highlights

Explore the magical islands you will visit aboard Ciela Liveaboard. 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.

komodo.explorer 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. #bidadariisland #paradise #turquoise

Girls Getaway Done Right

Me and my three besties dari kuliah akhirnya reunian di atas Ciela Liveaboard—what a vibe! We wanted luxury tanpa drama, dan Ciela deliver. From the welcome cocktails di deck sampai late-night chit-chat di lounge, everything felt curated. We hiked di Komodo Island, panas sih, tapi view dari atas bukit? Absolutely epic. Pas balik, crew siapin ice towels dan infused water—small detail, big impact. Malamnya, we partied kecil-kecilan dengan music playlist kita sendiri, dan crew izinin sampai jam 10. Kabinnya cozy, tapi suara dari mesin agak kedengaran kalau malam. Tapi who cares, we were too busy laughing. Snorkeling di Taka Makassar itu surreal—waternya biru toska, dan ikan badut everywhere. Ciela bener-bener jadi backdrop sempurna buat reconnecting. We already planning next year—maybe Raja Ampat?

Diving in Style dari Taka Makassar

As part of a dive group, I’ve been on several liveaboards, tapi Ciela ini beda kelas. The dive deck organized banget, gear prep smooth, dan safety briefing-nya detail tapi not overwhelming. We did three dives di Taka Makassar — visibility over 25 meters and strong currents bawa schooling barracudas, yang bikin adrenalin naik. The Master Suite has that subtle luxury — think Egyptian cotton, ambient lighting, dan bathroom dengan rainfall shower. Food-wise, fusion menu-nya creative: misalnya, grilled mahi-mahi dengan sambal matah. Satu hal kecil: the tender boat agak lambat saat pick-up dari spot terpencil, tapi itu minor. Wae Rebo sebagai final stop kasih vibe spiritual yang unexpected, cocok buat reflection sebelum pulang.

Ciela: Ketenteraman di Tengah Laut

Perjalanan 4 hari dengan Ciela Liveaboard menjadi pelarian sempurna dari rutin korporat. Sebagai sebahagian daripada retreat eksekutif kecil, kami mencari keseimbangan antara keselesaan dan keaslian alam — dan Ciela menyampaikannya dengan tenang. Dari hari pertama, suasana di atas kapal 28 meter ini terasa eksklusif tanpa dibuat-buat. Master Suite yang saya tempati menghadap laut terbuka, dengan jendela bulat yang membiarkan cahaya fajar masuk perlahan — sempurna untuk sesi kopi pagi sebelum meeting ringkas di dek atas. Itinerary kami menyertakan Batu Bolong dan Pink Beach, keduanya memberi kontras luar biasa: satu untuk diving yang intens dengan arus lemah dan pari manta, satu lagi untuk drone shot pesisir merah jambu yang nampak seperti lukisan. Kru tempatan sangat sensitif terhadap kesesuaian masa dan ruang — tidak pernah terlalu dekat, tetapi sentiasa sedia dengan teh jahe atau handuk sejuk. Makanan adalah gabungan masakan Indonesia klasik dengan sentuhan modern; santapan malam di Gili Lawa bawah bintang dengan lampu suluh kecil di sekeliling meja kayu terus terbawa dalam memori. Satu-satunya perkara kecil: wifi agak tidak stabil untuk panggilan kerja pagi, tetapi mungkin itu juga yang kami perlukan — sedikit disconnect untuk reconnect. Komodo National Park dilihat dari lensa Ciela bukan sekadar destinasi, tapi satu experience yang dijaga dengan rasa hormat.

Babymoon yang Sempurna di Komodo

Ciela Liveaboard jadi pilihan tepat untuk babymoon kami. Aku dan suami butuh escape dari hiruk-pikuk Jakarta, dan ternyata healing banget. Waktu di Pink Beach, airnya soft pink beneran — surreal rasanya berenang di sana sambil bayangkan bakal jadi mama soon. Crew-nya super thoughtful, tiap pagi selalu ada infused water di kabin. Makanannya juga not too spicy, perfect untuk morning sickness. Cuma sayang, signal di sekitar Wae Rebo hampir nihil — tapi justru bikin kita lebih present sama satu sama lain. Kabin Master Suite luas, king bed-nya nyaman banget, dan bathroom-nya pakai rain shower. Dua malam di laut terasa seperti dua minggu recharge. Snorkeling di Manta Point? Mind-blowing. Manta-nya datang begitu dekat, almost like a blessing for the baby. We’ll definitely come back post-baby — maybe family trip next time.

Hochzeitsreise mit Tiefe

Unsere Hochzeitsreise auf der Ciela Liveaboard war bewusst einfach gehalten – wir wollten keine Massen, keine Ablenkung. Nur wir, das Meer und ein paar ausgewählte Orte. Die Tage in Kanawa Island und Manjarite waren wie aus einem Traum: kristallklare Buchten, wo wir stundenlang schwammen, ohne ein anderes Boot zu sehen. Die Master Suite hatte einen privaten Bereich am Heck, perfekt für morgendliche Kaffee-Momente. Das Essen war überraschend raffiniert – kein typisches ‘boat food’, sondern kreative Kombinationen aus lokalen Zutaten. Einzig die Lautstärke des Ankers am ersten Abend störte leicht, aber danach war es friedlich. Was bleibt: das Gefühl, wirklich angekommen zu sein. Kein überladenes Programm, sondern Raum für uns. Der sunset auf Wainilu, mit einem flute champagner in der Hand, war pure magic. Nicht alles musste ‘perfekt’ sein – es war real, tief und genau richtig.

Sunset dan Stories di Nusa Kode

Nusa Kode itu seperti pulau yang dilupakan waktu. Ciela Liveaboard bawa kita ke sana pas golden hour, dan the way light hit the cliffs... I’ve shot hundreds of photos, tapi none capture the feeling. We spent hours just walking the beach, talking, dan watching the waves. The Standard Cabin is modest tapi everything works — AC, shower, lighting. Crew offered nightcap dengan homemade palm wine, yang taste earthy tapi smooth. Dinner menu ada fusion twist yang unexpected, kayak nasi goreng dengan truffle oil. One note: the upper deck gets crowded during sunset, tapi they could add more seating. Still, the overall harmony of the trip — between nature, service, dan silence — was deeply satisfying.

Serene Escape to Wae Rebo

Wae Rebo itu alasan utama aku ambil trip ini, dan Ciela Liveaboard handle approach-nya dengan respect banget. We anchored nearby dan take a guided cultural trek — the village di atas gunung itu feel sacred. Boat itself? Minimalist luxury. I stayed in Standard Cabin, dan meski small, layout-nya smart banget. The crew anticipates needs — they offered ginger tea saat cuaca mulai berubah. Sunset di Kanawa Island? Jaw-dropping. Snorkeling di sana juga solid, walau I wish we had more time. Satu critique: breakfast buffet kadang agak repetitive, tapi overall the balance between adventure dan relaxation terjaga dengan baik. Perfect for recharging the soul.

En diskret lyxresa i Komodo

Vi valde Ciela Liveaboard för vår babymoon, och det visade sig vara en av de mest genomtänkta resorna vi gjort. Med bara fyra cabiner kändes det som att hela båten var vår – särskilt eftersom vi var endast tio gäster. Min fru sov i Master Suite, som med sin breda franska balkong och matta i teak trä var en perfekt kombination av minimalistisk design och östasiatisk elegance. Vi började dagen med yoga på däck vid Gili Lawa, där ljuset vid gryning skapade en nästan onaturlig skärpa i färgerna – jag tog en drone shot som nu hänger ovan vår soffa i Bromma. Eftermiddagen spenderade vi vid Bidadari Beach, där vattenklarheten kändes som en annan värld. Som del av en mindre photography expedition (bara sex personer med kameror) kunde vi ta oss tid – inga stressade transfers. Maten var 90% lokal, med dagens fisk kokt i bananblad, men med en twist av fusion som höjde nivån. Lite synd att wifi var spotty efter andra dagen – men kanske det var bra, för vi pratade mer. Resan var exakt rätt längd: fyra dagar, men jag önskade innerligt att vi hadeft en extra dag vid Castle Rock för att dyka djupare. Det enda som kändes lite off var att badlakanen byttes inte varje dag – men det är en petig synpunkt. Ciela levererar discreet luxury utan att skrika om det.

Luxo discreto e paisagens épicas

O Ciela Liveaboard é o tipo de experiência que você sente, mais do que descreve. A madeira envelhecida, o cheiro de óleo de peroba, o silêncio do motor — tudo transmite tradição com um toque moderno. Fui com amigas celebrar um milestone birthday, e o barco soube acolher nosso clima de festa sem perder a elegância. Em Bidadari Beach, montaram um almoço à beira-mar com frutos do mar grelhados e vinho branco gelado — um momento de pura gratidão. O sunset em Padar Island foi fotografado por um dos convidados com drone; as imagens parecem National Geographic. A master suite tem uma banheira externa que usei todas as noites. Só senti falta de um pouco mais de tempo livre no itinerary — gostaria de ter feito uma caminhada extra em Komodo Island. Mas o ritmo geral foi bem pensado, com equilíbrio entre atividade e repouso.
