Explore the magical islands you will visit aboard Florence 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.

작년 여름, 포토그래피 익스피디션으로 Florence Phinisi에 올랐다. 4박 5일 itinerary는 섬세하게 짜여 있었고, 캐논 장비를 챙긴 우리 팀에게는 거의 perfect한 환경이었다. 첫 번째 스탑인 Padar Island 전망대에선 일출과 함께 드론 촬영을 했고, 광각으로 담긴 삼각주 모양의 베이가 지금도 작품으로 걸려 있다. 두 번째 날은 Batu Bolong에서 다이빙했는데, 커런트가 다소 강했지만 마스터 가이드가 적절히 리드해주어 안전하게 커버했다. 캐빈은 3개지만, 전체 승객이 6명뿐이라 프라이버시가 뛰어났고, 특히 메인 캐빈의 master suite는 원목 마감과 자연 채광이 조화를 이뤄 고요한 밤을 선사했다. 조식은 주로 인도네시아식과 유럽식 병행이었는데, 바나나 팬케이크에 메이플 시럽이 매일 리필되어 기분이 좋았다. 다만, 와이파이는 거의 오프라인 수준이라 연락 두절은 각오해야 한다. 크루진은 숙련됐고, 요트의 2015년 빌드임에도 불구하고 디테일한 메인터넌스가 느껴졌다. 다음엔 가족과 함께 와서 Crystal Rock 근처에서 스노클링을 더 천천히 하고 싶다. 한 가지 아쉬움은 한 번의 익스큐르션이 다소 짧게 느껴졌다는 점, 아마도 하루 더 있었으면 더 깊이 탐험했을 텐데.

Florence Phinisi’ye adım attığımız an, şehir stresinin tamamen üzerinden sıyrıldık. 9 kişilik kapasite, 3 cabin’le, bizim 6’lı friends getaway için ideal oldu — özel alan hissi korunmuş, ama sosyal enerji de her yerdeydi. Master suite, özellikle bana ayrılmış olan, minik bir lüks saray gibiydi. Sabahları Long Beach’te kahvaltı servisi, ardından Taka Makassar’da snorkeling... suyun berraklığı neredeyse surreal. Drone shot ile kaydettiğim manzara, Instagram’da herkesi şok etti açıkçası. Orada manta vortices’i gerçekten hypnotize ediciydi, çocukken okuduğum National Geographic rüyalarını hatırlattı. Sadece Padar Island’dan dönüşte wifi biraz zayıf oldu, ama içimizde kimse aslında mahzuru duymadı — tam da bu yüzden oradaysak. Itinerary çok akıllıca planlanmış, her gün farklı bir enerji sunuyor. Sebayur Island’a ikinci gece limanlanışımız, en sakin yıldızlı gökyüzünü izlememizi sağladı. Deniz suyuna ayaklarım değdiğinde, 'bu kadar basitken neden hep karmaşık yaşamışım' diye düşündüm. Crew discrete ama her ihtiyaçtan önce adımı atıyor, bu farkındalık gerçek bir luxury experience yaratıyor. Sadece 4 gün olsun diye içimde hafif bir mesafe kaldı — keşke 5. gün de olsaydı. Yine de, Florence Phinisi ile geçirdiğim bu birkaç gün, yılın en dengeli anı oldu.

Florence Phinisi s’est révélée être une véritable résidence flottante, élégante sans ostentation. Pour notre anniversaire de mariage, nous cherchions une escapade discrète, loin des circuits classiques — mission accomplie. Le master suite, avec sa literie en lin italien et sa baie vitrée donnant sur l’horizon, offrait un confort rare pour un phinisi de 27 mètres. L’équipage, discret mais attentif, a parfaitement orchestré notre itinerary : baignade à Gili Lawa au lever du soleil, puis snorkeling à Taka Makassar, où les coraux mous dansent presque au ralenti. J’ai particulièrement apprécié le silence à Kalong Island en fin de journée, ce moment suspendu où les chauves-souris prennent leur envol — un drone shot aurait été parfait, mais la connexion satellite restait capricieuse. Cela dit, ce léger manque de wifi fut presque bénéfique : on s’est parlé, vraiment parlé, comme rarement ces dernières années. La cuisine, quant à elle, était d’un raffinement constant — tartare de thon local avec huile de sésame et yuzu, servi sur le pont à Padar Island. On aurait souhaité une journée de plus, simplement pour absorber davantage cette lumière unique. Florence Phinisi ne vend pas du rêve, elle le propose avec retenue — ce qui, pour une voyageuse exigeante, est la forme la plus sincère de luxury.

Florence Phinisi gave us what we didn’t know we needed — stillness. Our 5-day trip included Komodo Island and a long drift snorkel at Taka Makassar, where the current carried us over gardens of hard coral. The boat’s size is ideal: intimate, tapi not cramped. Each cabin feels like a private suite, especially the one facing east — morning light floods in so beautifully. We traveled as a small family, dan the crew handled our 7-year-old with such patience, even arranged a treasure hunt on a secluded beach. Dining was a highlight — one night, they did a BBQ under the stars, with miso-glazed eggplant and grilled prawns. The only minor hiccup: aircon in cabin 2 was a bit noisy at night, tapi not enough to ruin sleep. What made it special? The attention to rhythm — no rushing, no forced activities. We returned feeling reset, seperti the sea washed everything heavy away.

Florence Phinisiは、wellness retreatとして選んだ正解だった。Rinca Islandの東側を circumnavigate しながら、心身をリセットする旅。3日間のtrip中、二日目はBidadari Beachでyoga sessionを早朝に開催。潮風と鳥の声が自然のbinaural beatsのように感じられた。船内にはアロマと静寂があり、マッサージは専属セラピストによるもので、使用するオイルも現地のハーブをブレンド。キャビンは広くはないが、質よりquantityという選択は理解できる。ただ、シャワーのwater pressureがもう少し強ければ…という点は正直にある。でも、その分、夕方のdrone shotで見たGili Lawaのシルエットは、記憶に焼きついている。赤と橙のグラデーションが海に溶けていく様は、まるでliving art。食事はすべてオーガニック中心で、gluten-freeにも柔軟に対応。クルーの気配りが、無言のうちに心に届く。贅沢とは、こうした静かな配慮の積み重ねかもしれない。

كنت أبحث عن شيء يُخرجني من ضغط الاجتماعات اليومية في دبي، وقررتُ أن أُخصص جزءًا من إجازتي للـcorporate retreat بطريقة مختلفة. Florence Phinisi كانت الاختيار المثالي — ليس فقط بسبب التصميم الأنيق للـmaster suite، بل لأن الجو العام كان يُشعرك أنك بعيد عن كل شيء. توقفنا في Sebayur Island، حيث لم يكن هناك سوى صوت الأمواج وصوت الطيور. المكان مثالي للـmindfulness. الجناح الخلفي كان هادئًا جدًا، رغم أن الـwifi كان ضعيف الشدة قليلًا — لكن بصراحة، هذا قد يكون أفضل شيء حدث لي، أُجبرت أن أفصل عن العمل. الإفطار في Bidadari Beach كان مُعدًا بدقة: تمر لحمراء، جبن فرنسي، خبز طازج. الطاقم فهموا تمامًا طبيعة مسافر من دبي — لا يريد ضجة، فقط precision وdiscretion. أتمنى لو بقينا يومًا إضافيًا، خاصة أن Florence Phinisi تُبحر بسلاسة حتى في الرياح القوية. الـdrone shot الذي التقطته من القارب أصبحت تستخدمه في عرض تقديمي داخلي عن work-life balance.

孕六个月,医生批准短途旅行,便选了Florence Phinisi的四天babymoon。三人出行,订了两间cabin,空间足够宽松。船行至Kalong Island时,黄昏拍到蝙蝠群出洞的drone shot,画面极有史诗感。Kalimutu之后去了Crystal Rock,水浅清亮,我只在甲板阅读,伴侣去snorkeling。餐饮特别贴心,主厨每日准备无咖啡因花草茶与低汞鱼类,连水果都去皮切好。船长特意放缓航速,减少晃动,对孕反敏感的人很友好。唯一小遗憾是行程未包含Manjarite,听说那里的沙滩更私密,适合长停留。不过Florence Phinisi的sun deck配有Bose音响和Cabana,午后躺着听海,配一杯cold-pressed ginger juice,节奏刚刚好。服务是那种‘不过度出现但随时在’的高级感,完全契合我们想要的quiet luxury。若计划babymoon,建议提前沟通身体状况,他们会细致调整experience。

Levei minha esposa e nossos dois filhos (8 e 11 anos) no Florence Phinisi depois de um semestre intenso de trabalho. Queríamos natureza de verdade, mas sem abrir mão do conforto — e o barco entregou equilíbrio perfeito. Desde o embarque em Labuan Bajo, a tripulação recebeu as crianças com uma energia calma, mas atenciosa: prepararam snacks especiais, até trouxeram um kit com máscaras de snorkel infantis. Passamos um dia inteiro em Komodo Island, com guia falando português, e depois ancoramos em Castle Rock — os meninos piraram com os peixes-borboleta e moreias. O quarto familiar é compacto, mas bem planejado; o ar-condicionado funciona sem barulho, essencial com kids. Meu único (pequeno) critique: o itinerary poderia ter incluído mais uma parada em Taka Makassar — ouvimos falar que é o point de manta rays, mas tivemos só um drone shot da região. Mesmo assim, a sensação de estar no meio do arquipélago, longe de tudo, foi rara. À noite, os pais com um vinho no deck, os filhos dormindo tranquilos — esse tipo de viagem recarrega. O Florence Phinisi não é só um barco: é uma extensão do lifestyle que buscamos.

Viajé al Florence Phinisi en pleno babymoon, buscando calma y un entorno íntimo. Desde el primer briefing, noté el equilibrio perfecto entre discreción del crew y atención personalizada. Mi cabin, aunque no era la master suite, tenía una ventilación cruzada ideal y diseño minimalista con toques de madera noble que invitaba al descanso. El itinerario incluyó Batu Bolong al amanecer —el snorkeling allí superó cualquier expectativa, con mantas gliding bajo el kayak— y luego recalamos en Long Beach, donde el chef preparó un lunch privado con mariscos frescos y coconut rice. Lo más valioso fue la sensación de desconexión: el wifi es limitado, lo cual al principio me generó ansiedad, pero terminé agradeciéndolo. Como solo estuvimos 4 días, me quedé con ganas de una parada más en Padar Island para hacer el trekking completo, pero entiendo que el timing era justo. El uso del drone shot durante el brunch en alta mar fue un detalle cinematográfico, sin ser intrusivo. Todo el viaje fluyó con una elegancia low-key, muy al estilo que valoro: sin ostentación, pero con un nivel de servicio impecable. El sunset cocktail en popa, con mi esposa leyendo y yo tomando un ginger mocktail, fue puro wellness emocional. Si buscas espacio, silencio y un toque de luxury sobrio, el Florence Phinisi lo entrega sin ruido.
