Komodo Open Trip 3D2N Sora Deluxe Boat

Sora has three decks. The main deck holds 8 private cabins and an open-sided dining area, so the sea becomes the wall. The upper deck holds the 2 Sharing Cabins and a second dining table. At the bow, below the wheelhouse, a sundeck is laid out with daybeds for lounging or watching the sunset. Gross tonnage is 173 GT with a draft of 2.8 metres. It runs on two 8DC11 engines with two 33 kVA generators, and navigates with Garmin GPS. The meeting point is Labuan Bajo harbour, so there is no extra crossing to another island first.

Who is it right for?

For solo travellers, Sora is one of the best fits because the Sharing Cabin is sold per bed. You pay for one berth and share the cabin with other guests, rather than paying for a whole cabin. For couples, the Signature Cabin and the Master Cabin both have a queen bed and a private bathroom. For groups of friends or families, 10 cabins on one boat mean you can still travel together even when budgets differ.

How do I book?
