A Floating Sanctuary in Komodo
I’ve sailed the Coral Triangle before, but nothing compares to the grace of Leticia Liveaboard. The 35-meter phinisi glided through the straits like a whisper—smooth, silent, intentional. Our group of eight friends docked at Kanawa Island, where we snorkeled alongside manta rays in glassy turquoise waters, then retreated to the upper deck for a long, laughter-filled lunch of grilled mahi-mahi and tamarind glaze. The cabin was minimalist luxury: soft lighting, a rainfall shower, and a view I never tired of. Mornings began with yoga at anchor, followed by espresso served on deck. If I’m being candid, the lower deck cabins get less breeze, but our steward adjusted the AC silently each night—no complaints. What sets Leticia apart is the staff’s intuition; they remembered how you took your coffee, anticipated your next dive preference. Komodo Island felt wild and ancient, but returning to the yacht was like coming home to quiet opulence. For a friends getaway, it was perfection—equal parts adventure and indulgence.

A Dive Lover’s Dream Realized
As an experienced diver from Singapore, I’ve been on many liveaboards—but Leticia stands apart. Her 2021 build combines classic Phinisi lines with contemporary luxury that feels lived-in, not showy. Our group of six explored Komodo’s most iconic sites, from the adrenaline of Taka Makassar’s currents to the serene ballet of Manta Point. The dive team was exceptional—knowledgeable, safety-focused, and deeply passionate. We even had a marine biologist on board, who explained coral spawning cycles over cocktails. Above water, Pink Beach dazzled with its blush sand and clear shallows, perfect for post-dive relaxation. The cabins were serene, though the lighting could be brighter for reading. Still, the overall experience was transcendent. Leticia doesn’t just facilitate diving; she elevates it. Every detail, from the rinse tanks to the post-dive chocolate, felt considered.
Komodo’da Lüks Bir Efsane: Leticia Deneyimi
Komodo’yu ‘bambaşka bir boyutta’ keşfettim Leticia Liveaboard ile – ve evet, bu sefer ‘perfect’ kelimesini fazla abartmıyorum. Eşimle 4 günlük ayın balı turu için seçtiğimiz bu vip phinisi, sadece bir yat değil, adeta hareket halinde bir butik otel. 35 metrelik büyüklüğüne rağmen samimi bir hava yayıyor, özellikle güvertede master suite’imize açılan özel teras, her sabah kahvemizi içtiğimiz romantik bir köşe haline geldi.
Taka Makassar’daki şahane manzaraya uyandıktan sonra, Bidadari Beach’ten yapılan ilk snorkelling seansı nefesimizi kesti – mercanlar canlanmış gibi, balık sürüleri neredeyse dokunulacak kadar yakındı. Manta Point’te yüzme fırsatı da unutulmaz oldu; bir sürü manta, tam altımızda süzülüp giderken drone shot ile kaydettik – Leticia ekibinin bu detaylara ne kadar önem verdiğini o an anladık.
Pilotlar profesyonel, hizmet ekibi nazik ama çok fazla göz önünde değil – ki bu, bir lüks yolculukta aradığım şey. Tek küçük eksik, master suite’deki klima geceleri biraz sessiz çalışsaydı… ama o da büyük bir sorun değil. Pink Beach’e doğru ilerlerken güverteye yayıldık, açık hava sinemasında bir film izledik, şarap eşliğinde.
Leticia sadece bir itinerary değil; duyguları yeniden keşfettiren bir experience. Burak Öz’e de tavsiye ettim – o da önümüzdeki ay biniyor!

Ultimate Romantic Getaway
Babymoon di Leticia Liveaboard was pure bliss. The ambiance is so serene — perfect for slowing down. We spent a quiet afternoon at Gili Lawa, just swimming and talking. Crew gave us a baby-safe snorkel vest, which was thoughtful. Kabin king size with ocean view — every morning felt like a dream. Dinner menu had light options, ideal for my nausea. One small note: bathroom door doesn’t lock fully, but not critical. Malam terakhir, they arranged a couples’ massage on deck. Under the stars, listening to waves — I cried it was so beautiful. This isn’t just a trip; it’s a memory in the making. Leticia treated us like family, not guests.

Wellness Escape dengan View yang Menyembuhkan
Saya datang ke Leticia Liveaboard setelah 18 bulan burnout, butuh reset. Ini bukan sekadar trip, tapi healing journey. Program yoga pagi di dek utama, dengan latar Padar Island yang menjulang, itu transformative. The silence, the rhythm of the sea—everything supports mindfulness. Makanan-nya juga diatur dengan mindful approach: plant-based options, turmeric shots every morning, dan zero processed sugar. Snorkeling di Crystal Rock memberi sensasi weightlessness yang sangat meditative. Iya, ada satu malam listrik sempat flicker, tapi crew langsung handle tanpa bikin panik. Yang paling menenangkan adalah waktu kita anchorage di Long Beach—tidak ada suara mesin kapal lain, hanya debur ombak dan angin. Saya tidur paling nyenyak di sana. The balance between curated wellness dan freedom to explore itu sempurna. Saya tidak datang untuk party, dan Leticia menghargai itu. Would come back for a 7-day retreat if they offer it.

Tranquility on the Edge of Wildness
The Leticia Liveaboard is a masterclass in calm. From Singapore, we’re used to fast-paced escapes, but this was different—deliberate, almost meditative. At Sebayur Island, we kayaked through mangroves at low tide, then snorkeled where the current brought in schools of batfish. The boat itself is a sanctuary: the cabins are spacious without being showy, the linens cool, the showers powerful. What struck us was the crew’s quiet confidence—no over-explaining, no forced cheer. They simply knew—when to offer a towel, when to pour wine, when to disappear. We were on a babymoon, craving stillness, and Leticia delivered. One afternoon, the Wi-Fi dropped completely—no signal for hours. Instead, I read, napped, and watched the sea shift from indigo to jade. It was the best unplanned reset. The final dinner, anchored off Padar Island, felt like a quiet benediction. I’d return in a heartbeat.
A Quiet Kind of Luxury
The Leticia Liveaboard doesn’t shout, and that’s precisely why it resonates. We joined during a babymoon, craving stillness more than adventure. The crew understood instantly—offering early dinners, shaded deck nooks, and a masseuse who came aboard at Sebayur Island. Snorkelling at Taka Makassar was effortless; the coral gardens so dense they felt almost artificial. But it was the evenings on the upper deck, watching the sky dissolve into stars while sipping turmeric tea, that stayed with us. The boat’s length—35 meters—means space is never contested. Our cabin, forward-facing, had a window that framed the sea like a Rothko. I’d have liked slightly stronger Wi-Fi for work handovers, but that’s a small trade for true disconnection. The galley’s emphasis on local ingredients—dragon fruit, tumeric, wild-caught mahi—felt both ethical and refined. This is luxury as absence: of noise, of clutter, of excess.

مغامرة عائلية فاخرة مع لطيفة لايفبورد
سافرت مع عائلتي المكونة من ستة أفراد، بينهم طفلان (8 و11 سنة)، على متن Leticia Liveaboard، وكانت التجربة مُحكمة بعناية. تم تخصيص كوخين متجاورين بسهولة، والـstaff تعامل مع الأطفال بلطف دون أن يفقدوا طابع الـluxury. توقفنا في بينك بيتش، حيث أُعجب الأولاد بلون الرمل النادر، ثم توجهنا إلى نوساء كود، حيث شاهدنا قردة المكاك تتحرك بين الصخور. وضعت إدارة القارب برنامجًا تفاعليًا عن البيئة، شمل شرحًا مبسطًا عن الشعاب المرجانية، مما جعل الرحلة تعليمية أيضًا. الـdrone shot الذي صوره أحد الضيوف أثناء غروب الشمس على باتو بولونغ كان لا يُنسى. العشاء على السطح، تحت النجوم، مع موسيقى خافتة، كان moment مثاليًا. فقط أتمنى لو أن نظام التكييف في الكابينة الأمامية يعمل بسلاسة أكبر. رغم ذلك، التوازن بين المغامرة والراحة كان مثاليًا لعائلة تبحث عن تجربة خارج الإطار.

Seamless Luxury in Wild Waters
Leticia Liveaboard redefined what a luxury dive trip could be. Arriving from Singapore, my expectations were high—but the reality surpassed them. The yacht’s 2021 craftsmanship is evident in every detail: the polished deck, the precision of the crew, the artful presentation of each meal. We spent a dreamy afternoon at Pink Beach, where the blush-hued sands felt like something from a myth. Later, diving at Taka Makassar revealed coral gardens teeming with life—butterflyfish, reef sharks, even a sleeping wobbegong. As part of a tight-knit dive group, we valued the personalized briefings and well-maintained gear. The only minor note? Showers, while hot and generous, drained quickly with back-to-back use. That said, the experience was flawless—especially watching the sunset from the upper deck with a Hendricks and tonic in hand. Leticia doesn’t just transport you through Komodo; she immerses you in it, with grace.
