The Lasha yacht is a 52.5-metre, 466-gross-ton luxury phinisi — the newest vessel of her class in Komodo, sailing her maiden season from 17 August 2026 out of Labuan Bajo. Whole-boat private charters start at US$10,800 per night for up to 14 guests, booked exclusively through lashacruise.com, her official website.
Komodo’s charter fleet has grown crowded, but the top of it remains thin. Above the 50-metre line, the choice narrows to a handful of ships, and only one of them entered the water this season. This listing by Labuan Bajo Liveaboard — a Labuan Bajo liveaboard agency — covers her VVIP specification, how she stands against the rest of the 50-metre-plus class, the crew and safety standard behind the charter, and exactly what a whole-boat booking costs in 2026–2027.
What Makes the Lasha Yacht a True VVIP Vessel?
Launched for her maiden season on 17 August 2026 and home-ported in Labuan Bajo, LASHA measures 52.5 metres and 466 gross tons, built by Buginese shipwrights in ulin ironwood and teak across four full decks. The Lasha yacht accommodation plan places ten ensuite cabins around a maximum of 26 guests:
- 2 Master Suites — private jacuzzi and private balcony
- 4 Junior Suites — each with its own balcony
- 2 Grand Deluxe cabins and 2 Deluxe cabins
Above the cabins sit a jacuzzi sun-deck, a dedicated dive deck, and a combined Lounge & Resto that functions as the ship’s social heart. Two master suites with balconies and jacuzzis on a Komodo phinisi is a specification normally reserved for private superyachts, not charter vessels. Full deck plans and cabin galleries are published on the official LASHA website.
How Does She Compare With Komodo’s Other 50-Metre-Plus Charters?
Length is the number brokers quote; gross tonnage is the number that matters on board. Most luxury phinisi in the national park run 30 to 45 metres and roughly half this tonnage, which is why their “master cabins” are often converted deckhouses. At 466GT for a maximum of 26 guests, the Lasha yacht carries one of the most generous volume-per-guest ratios in the Komodo fleet — and that volume shows up as four separated decks, full-beam suites, and social spaces that never overlap. Tonnage also pays off underway: a heavier ironwood hull rides open-water crossings toward Sumba, the Banda Sea, or Raja Ampat with a stability that lighter 30-metre boats cannot match. Being a 2026 launch, she is also simply the newest hull in the class — no refit history, no inherited wear.
What Does Whole-Boat Privacy Mean on a 26-Guest Vessel?
A Lasha yacht charter is sold to one party per departure — there are no shared-cabin sales and no strangers at dinner. The base rate covers one to fourteen guests, so a family of six pays the same as a group of fourteen and simply spreads out further across the ten cabins. Larger parties scale up a published guest ladder rather than negotiating in the dark. The itinerary, the daily rhythm, the menu, and the anchorages are set with you alone; the ship’s schedule bends to the charterer, not the reverse. Configuration requests — multigenerational cabin assignments, event setups, dive-focused routing — are handled through her official charter pages before departure.
How Much Does a Private Charter Cost in 2026–2027?
Lasha yacht charter pricing follows one clean logic: US$10,800 per night, whole boat, for leisure itineraries in Komodo with one to fourteen guests and a two-night minimum. The common packages work out as follows:
| Charter | Nights | Whole-boat rate (1–14 guests) |
|---|---|---|
| Per night — Komodo leisure | 1 | US$10,800 |
| 3D2N | 2 | US$21,600 |
| 5D4N | 4 | US$43,200 |
| 7D6N | 6 | US$64,800 |
The guest ladder rises in published steps to US$17,000 per night at 22 guests. Diving charters run US$11,600 per night. A Full Day cruise is US$11,000, and a 2D1N special is offered at US$13,900. For expedition seasons, Raja Ampat itineraries start from US$11,600 and Banda Sea from US$12,400 per night, each with a five-night minimum. National park and marine fees of US$25 per person per night apply on top of all rates. The complete 2026–2027 rate card is maintained on the official site and is the only pricing that should be treated as current.
What Crew Service and Safety Standards Come With the Charter?
A ship of this tonnage is run, not merely staffed. The full professional crew covers bridge, engine room, galley, and guest service, with a private chef building menus around the party and the dive deck operated as its own station — compressors, gear, and briefings kept clear of the guest decks. On the safety side, the advantages are structural before they are procedural: a newly commissioned 2026 hull in dense ulin ironwood, modern navigation and safety systems fitted at build rather than retrofitted, four decks of freeboard, and the sea-keeping margin that 466 gross tons provides on open crossings. Guests receive full safety briefings at boarding, and tender operations for park landings are crewed on every run.
How Do You Book — and Which Website Is Official?
Labuan Bajo Liveaboard is a charter agency: we list the vessel, advise on itineraries, and place reservations — but every booking is confirmed through the vessel’s official desk. The official website is lashacruise.com, operated by Komodo Luxury, the Labuan Bajo operator established in 2015. To confirm a Lasha yacht reservation, use the official booking desk, WhatsApp +62 811-3823-875, or [email protected]. Given a single hull, a 17 August 2026 maiden season, and whole-boat-only sales, peak dry-season weeks close early — date requests are best placed months ahead.
