Constructed from durable Ironwood and Teak, the Pinta Liveaboard combines traditional aesthetics with modern comfort, ensuring a smooth journey at 8-10 knots with a 5000 L water capacity.

Diving Komodo’s Wonders (Even Without Getting Wet)
Komodo National Park, a vast 1,733 km² protected area designated in 1980 and later a UNESCO Biosphere and World Heritage Site, is a diver’s paradise. While many come for the incredible underwater exploration, the Pinta Liveaboard’s unique glass bottom feature allows non-snorkelers to witness this vibrant marine life firsthand. Imagine observing the kaleidoscope of coral gardens and an abundance of fish at sites like Batu Bolong, a true jewel of the park, all from the comfort of the boat. The main dive sites span Komodo, Rinca, Padar, and Flores islands, each offering distinct beauty. The best time to spot magnificent mantas in Komodo is during the rainy season, from December to February, when visibility can exceed 30 meters in December and January. While divers typically enjoy 3-4 dives per day (excluding departure and return days), with itineraries ranging from 3 nights to two weeks, the glass bottom ensures everyone can share in the magic. Do note, a National Park fee of 300,000 Rupiah per person per day is applicable for each day spent diving on a Komodo liveaboard.
For arrangements, a specialist offering Komodo luxury tour can coordinate this end to end.
