Kelana Cruises – Private Charter Komodo

Kelana, meaning to explore, is a private liveaboard designed for those who value intimacy and exclusivity at sea. With only three beautifully appointed cabins accommodating up to six guests, Kelana is more than a vessel—it is your own private sanctuary on the water. Every journey is fully tailored, offering the comfort of a boutique hotel and the freedom of your own yacht. From freshly prepared meals by our onboard chef to serene moments on deck surrounded by turquoise seas, your time aboard will feel like an unforgettable escape made just for you.

The Vessel

Launched in 2012, Kelana is a 16-meter yacht crafted for small groups seeking privacy without compromise. Warm wooden interiors create a welcoming atmosphere across the master suite, double cabin, and bunk cabin, while the lounge, dining space, and open deck provide inviting settings for both relaxation and connection. Unlike larger liveaboards that host many passengers, Kelana is always chartered privately, ensuring that your adventure is shaped entirely around your pace and preferences.

Komodo National Park

Your private charter will carry you through the legendary waters of Komodo National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to the iconic Komodo dragon. The landscape here is a dramatic mix of rugged hills, secluded beaches, and sweeping views that come alive at sunset. Beyond the shore, the park lies at the heart of the Coral Triangle, where underwater life thrives in staggering abundance. Days can be spent hiking on wild islands, discovering remote coves, or simply savoring the privilege of experiencing one of the world’s most biodiverse marine sanctuaries in complete privacy.

Diving Adventures

For those drawn to the sea below, Kelana offers up to three dives a day guided by experienced dive masters. Whether you are a seasoned diver or trying it for the first time, the underwater world of Komodo reveals unforgettable encounters. Glide alongside manta rays at Manta Point, marvel at the kaleidoscope of life around Batu Bolong, or feel the thrill of strong currents at Castle Rock where reef sharks and schools of fish gather. On calmer days, Crystal Rock rewards you with dazzling coral gardens and, if you are lucky, passing dolphins. Each dive is chosen to match your experience level, always with safety and wonder at the forefront.
