Plataran Phinisi Felicia

Operating from Labuan Bajo on the island of Flores, the 88-ft Plataran Phinisi Felicia features two masts and is built in a traditional Indonesian style from locally-sourced ironwood and teak. She offers short cruises for up to 12 liveaboard guests around the waters of Komodo and Flores. There will be plenty of time to dive, snorkel and swim, to experience pristine coves and beaches, and to encounter the famous Komodo dragons along with a diverse range of Indonesian wildlife. She is also available for private charters.

Life On Board

The Plataran Phinisi Felicia was designed with comfort and convenience in mind. Her indoor dining area, TV, home entertainment system and bar in the lounge provide a warm and welcoming environment in which to make yourself at home, but outside is where guests will want to gather most. With an outdoor dining area, two sun decks with loungers, seating, and shaded sections, the boat’s exterior social areas are perfect for sunbathing and watching the islands go by during the day, enjoying a drink at sunset, or stargazing at night.

With just six cabins − two bunk-bed cabins and four double cabins – the Phinisi Felicia by Plataran is ideal for small group private charters or alternatively has great accommodation options for every type of traveler wishing to embark on a shared voyage to one of the world’s most spectacular wildlife destinations. Each air-conditioned cabin is characterized by a wood-paneled interior, wooden beams, traditional ikat textiles, and Indonesian decorative motifs. All cabins have an ensuite bathroom with a hot shower, toiletries and dryer.

Excellent meals are served three times a day at a communal table on the deck with a magnificent view of the Indonesian landscapes and seascapes. Guests dine together on fresh local specialties, prepared onboard by an expert chef. Meals are served buffet-style, and you will have day-long access to soft drinks and snacks.
