Gammara Phinisi
Nine occasions, one boat, and no other guests
Updated 3 November 2026
A milestone celebration on a phinisi in Komodo means one of nine occasions on Gammara Phinisi, from a honeymoon for two to a team of twelve. The whole boat starts at IDR 73,000,000 (≈ USD 4,479) for 3D2N, and each occasion page works through its own days and sums.
Nine occasions for a vessel with two people aboard, or twelve
Gammara has 6 cabins and room for 12 guests, and it is priced by the boat. An occasion here can be anything from a party of one to a party of twelve, and either way the deck and the table belong to you alone. The nine pages below each name the people they were written for.
- Honeymoon: two newly married guests, 4D3N for the beach dinner.
- Couples: an anniversary, a proposal, or two pairs sharing the king cabins.
- Family: three generations, up to twelve.
- Night-sky photography: two to six with tripods and patience.
- Team offsite: up to twelve colleagues on one invoice.
- Treks and reefs: a fit pair or small party, five days.
- Friends: three to twelve, and a price that falls at seven.
- One traveller: the open trip, minimum two.
- King-bed charter: what the VVIP class means, tested.
Each occasion bends the days differently
The stops do not change much. The order and the pace do. Honeymooners want a fourth day, since the beach dinner starts at 4D3N. A family is happiest on 3D2N, leaving the Padar climb to whoever fancies it. A team wants three days and enough berths to fill.
Photographers pick their week by the moon. Two keen walkers want five days and four hills. Groups of friends keep an eye on guest number seven, because that is where the band moves from IDR 73,000,000 (≈ USD 4,479) to IDR 78,000,000 (≈ USD 4,785).
On each page the days and the sums belong to that party alone. No page borrows another's figures, and none of them promises you a sky.
If you cannot choose, start here
For two people still undecided, the honeymoon page is the place to begin. It has the fullest worked example on the site, putting the whole boat for two next to the open-trip alternative. Seven or more should go to the friends page, where the band changes.
If yours is not one of the nine, write anyway. A birthday, a retirement, a reunion: each is a trip with a date that matters, and we plan it on the same terms as the rest. A price in writing, extras quoted on their own, and nobody else aboard.
The limit is 12 guests; more than that would need a second boat. Park tickets never sit inside the boat price, and a private-charter price does not include a guide or documentation.
