The 12-to-25 range is the sweet spot this fleet was priced for. Below twelve, a boat is an extravagance next to scheduled seats. Above twenty-five, no single Lamborajo hull is licensed to carry you. In between, the whole boat becomes cheaper per head than most shared products, and the office gets something a hotel ballroom cannot fake: three days where nobody can leave early.
Budget per head, from the published card
| Team size | Lamborajo 1 (shared bath) | Lamborajo 2 (en-suite + jacuzzi) |
|---|---|---|
| 12 staff | USD 3,700 → ~USD 308 each | USD 6,550 → ~USD 546 each |
| 16 staff | USD 3,850 → ~USD 241 each | USD 7,150 → ~USD 447 each |
| 20 staff | USD 4,000 → ~USD 200 each | USD 7,750 → ~USD 388 each |
| 24–25 staff (full boat) | USD 4,880 (24) → ~USD 203 each | USD 9,250 (25) → ~USD 370 each |
Add the non-boat items to the real budget line: Komodo National Park entrance at IDR 250,000 per foreign staff member (IDR 50,000–75,000 for Indonesian staff) under PP No. 36/2024, ranger and local charges at the park, return flights to Labuan Bajo, and one pre-boat hotel night if the team flies in late.
Which boat for which team
24 berths, shared bathrooms, the lowest cost per head in the fleet. Right when finance signs off per-person numbers and the team skews young.
25 berths, every cabin en-suite, jacuzzi and water toys for the at-anchor afternoons. Right for mixed-seniority teams; nobody complains about a private bathroom.
The 38-metre flagship, 22 berths. Right when leadership or key clients are aboard and the boat is part of the message.
What three days actually look like
The working rhythm, from the fleet's standard 3D2N pattern: hotel pick-up from 08:00, pier check-in from about 09:00, and departure between 09:30 and 10:30 on day one, then islands and snorkel stops through the afternoon. Day two starts dark — the Padar viewpoint climb goes at 04:30–05:00 for sunrise — and runs through Pink Beach, the ranger-guided dragon trek and the manta channel. Day three returns the boat to Labuan Bajo between 11:00 and 13:00, which pairs safely with flights from mid-afternoon. The full timing table is on the 3D2N departures page.
For structured team sessions, the boat gives you what it gives you: a saloon and open decks, not a projector room.
Booking realities for offices
April–June and September–November are the calm-sea windows. July–August sells out earliest. December–March is monsoon: possible, but a fixed company date and a rough-season sea are a bad pairing — check the 2027 sailing schedule first.
The desk needs a single contact, a passenger list for park permits, and confirmed dietary requirements. Twenty-five individual emails sink timelines.
Invoice, written confirmation of the rate and inclusions, and the weather policy in writing — captain-cancelled sailings are rescheduled or refunded, and your finance team will want that clause before paying. Step-by-step on how to book Lamborajo.
Groups beyond 25 split across two hulls sailing together — see boats for 20–25 people — or move up to the wider fleet at the fleet reservations desk.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a Komodo company outing cost per staff member?
On the published card: 20 staff on a 3D2N are about USD 200 each on Lamborajo 1 or USD 388 each on Lamborajo 2 — boat, meals, crew and Labuan Bajo transfers included. Park fees, flights and tips are on top.
What team size fits a private boat best?
Twelve to twenty-five. Below twelve, scheduled seats are cheaper; above twenty-five, no single Lamborajo is licensed for the group and you split across two boats sailing together.
Can we run meetings on board?
Informally, yes — saloon and deck space, not a conference room. One planned session per day at anchor works; a full indoor agenda does not. The route is the team-building.
What is the best season for a fixed company date?
April to June or September to November — calm seas and reliable departures. July–August books out earliest at peak pricing. December to March is monsoon and can force rescheduling, a real risk when 20 staff have approved leave.
What does the company need to provide to book?
One contact person, preferred dates with a fallback, headcount and boat choice, then a passenger manifest for park permits. The desk confirms the rate, inclusions, deposit and weather policy in writing before any payment.
Send headcount and target month. You will get boat options, the live rate and an invoice-ready confirmation.
Charter figures are arithmetic on the operator's published Lamborajo rate card for 2026–2027 sailings. Park fees follow PP No. 36/2024. Peak dates can carry surcharges — confirm the live rate and weather policy in writing before paying a deposit.
