Komodo Specialist
Year-round Komodo diving
Komodo Sea Dragon is a 35-meter (114 ft) luxury wooden phinisi built in 2009 and renovated in 2023. With just 6 cabins for 12 guests, she is the most intimate vessel in the Neptune Liveaboards fleet and a year-round Komodo National Park specialist.
What sets Komodo Sea Dragon apart is her dedicated 18-meter dive support boat. All diving operations run from this separate vessel, keeping the main boat quiet and comfortable. The four double cabins feature private balconies overlooking the sea.
Starlink satellite internet keeps guests connected throughout the voyage, and sofa beds in double cabins allow triple occupancy for families travelling together.
