Helena Liveaboard is a traditional wooden phinisi based in Labuan Bajo, designed for travellers seeking a relaxed Komodo sailing experience with space to unwind, dine, and explore. The boat is suited to private charters, group bookings, and travellers wanting a scenic island-hopping journey across Indonesia’s marine regions.
Helena is a traditional Indonesian phinisi with generous shared spaces across multiple decks, including indoor and outdoor social areas for dining, relaxing, and enjoying sea views. Its atmosphere is casual, scenic, and group-friendly, making it a good fit for families, friends, and travellers who want a comfortable Komodo liveaboard without an overly formal yacht style.
Life onboard Helena centres around slow cruising, open-air lounging, freshly prepared meals, and easy access to Komodo’s islands and reefs. Guests can expect a laid-back rhythm between sea crossings, meals, sunset moments, and downtime on deck.
Helena’s trips combine soft adventure and leisure: snorkeling in coral-rich waters, kayaking or paddleboarding where conditions allow, hiking viewpoints, visiting local islands, and searching for Komodo’s iconic wildlife. The experience is best positioned for travellers who want nature, photography, and relaxed exploration rather than a dive-focused expedition.
Helena focuses on Komodo National Park and the Labuan Bajo region, one of Indonesia’s most recognised sailing destinations. The journey highlights turquoise lagoons, hidden beaches, vibrant coral gardens, dramatic island landscapes, and sunset cruising through East Indonesia.
