Malca Voyages is a 30-metre VIP-class traditional wooden phinisi, built with iron wood and teak, that Komodo Luxury owns and operates from Labuan Bajo with its own in-house crew and maintenance. This site is a standalone information page published by Juara Holding Group; every reservation goes to Komodo Luxury’s team.
That is the short answer to “about Malca Voyages”. The rest of this page covers who stands behind the boat, how it is built, where every number here comes from, and what booking actually looks like.
Who owns and operates Malca Voyages?
Komodo Luxury does. According to Komodo Luxury’s official Malca Voyages page, read on 15 September 2026, the company owns and operates the vessel and keeps crew and maintenance in-house rather than subcontracting them.
Komodo Luxury is part of Juara Holding Group. Komodo Luxury was founded in 2015. It is headquartered in Denpasar, Bali, and its operations base is in Labuan Bajo, as listed on Komodo Luxury (checked 2026-09-16). Bookings are handled directly by its reservations team.
In practice, one company holds the hull, runs the crew and answers your booking message. No chain of resellers sits between you and the people on deck.

Rates for the other shared-trip cabins, and for the private 5D4N and 6D5N packages, are quoted on request for the specific cabin or package, departure date, duration and guest count. Shared trips leave twice a week: Friday to Sunday, and Monday to Wednesday. Komodo Luxury’s 2026 and 2027 tabs showed identical figures. The full breakdown is on our rates page, with day-by-day routes on the itinerary page.
Rates include the stay on board, meals, mineral water, coffee and tea, a guide, snorkel gear, life vests, raw drone, GoPro and mirrorless footage, and pick-up within the Labuan Bajo mainland near the harbour. Komodo National Park fees, the optional park drone permit, crew gratuities, flights, drinks, snacks and personal expenses are extra.
Where do the facts on this site come from?
Every vessel fact here is drawn from a single source, Komodo Luxury’s official Malca Voyages page. Five rules keep it honest:
- One source for vessel facts. Specifications, cabins, rates, inclusions and policies come only from that page. Nothing is estimated or borrowed from other boats.
- Date-stamped. Figures carry the date they were read, “as of September 2026”, so you can judge how fresh they are.
- Re-checked, not assumed. The source page is re-read and this site updated when Komodo Luxury changes it. Under its pricing terms, rates can change year to year.
- Deliberately left out. No crew names, no build year, no ratings, no award claims and no testimonials. Park fee amounts are not quoted either, because they follow government regulation at the time of your trip.
- The operator wins any conflict. If a figure here differs from Komodo Luxury’s page or a written quote from its team, the operator’s version applies. Older IDR listings on third-party sites are obsolete; ignore them.
How does booking Malca Voyages work?
- Send your request. Give Komodo Luxury your dates, shared cabin or private charter, and guest count.
- Get a reply. Komodo Luxury says its desk responds within 24 hours.
- Pay the deposit. A 50% deposit secures the booking. Booking a year ahead? Pay 30% first, then a further 20% at 120 days before departure.
- Settle the balance. It is due no later than 30 days before the trip. Book inside that window and full payment applies.
- Meet the boat. Pick-up runs 08:00–09:00 from your hotel or the airport on the Labuan Bajo mainland near the harbour, not from other islands or Manjaga.
Terms worth knowing before you pay: deposits are non-refundable, though you may nominate a replacement guest. Force majeure can change or cancel a trip without refund. Children aged 3 and over pay the full rate, and bank charges are borne by the sender. Destinations can shift with weather or field conditions, and guests follow the guide.
Getting there is simple enough. Labuan Bajo (LBJ) has direct flights from Bali, Jakarta and Surabaya, according to Komodo Luxury.
