Komodo luxury phinisi: where King Cirox 2 stands, and who should book a bigger yacht

Numbers first. 24.8 metres overall. Built in 2024, finished in 2025. Two Mitsubishi engines, of 90 and 190 PK. A crew of 6. 6 cabins with 23 berths at most. A whole-boat price of IDR 47,500,000 (≈ USD 2,914) for three days with up to five guests, and an open-trip fare from IDR 3,350,000 (≈ USD 206) a bunk.

Those are the figures to hold King Cirox 2 up against any other boat. It is a recent build, and it is smaller and simpler than the yachts that sell the five-star end of the market. Its two balcony cabins are the ones to look at first.

That distinction matters if you searched for a luxury phinisi. The word covers boats at very different prices, and the photos rarely tell you which you are looking at. The price block below gives you this boat's position in figures. Read it next to whatever else you are considering before you write to anyone.

Two keys with a balcony: Malang on the main deck and Madiun on the upper deck. The tub is Madiun's, a wooden bathtub in the open air. All 6 cabins are air-conditioned, with sea-facing windows, sockets, towels and linen; five have a private bathroom with a black rain shower.

Outside the cabins, the roof is laid with artificial turf, bean bags and a low table. At the bow, two rope nets hang over the sea. The dining room is enclosed, with a carpet, a wall bench and a black glass-top table. A chef cooks on board, and water, tea and coffee are included without limit.

The boat's booklets also print Starlink Wi-Fi, a karaoke and sound system, a canoe, a tender, a liferaft, life jackets, a life buoy, a first aid kit and AIS. That is a solid list for a boat of this length. The cabin cards below show each room as photographed.

The shorter list decides most high-end bookings.

• No jacuzzi, spa or gym is listed.
• No stabilisers are listed, and there is no lift: the decks are reached by stairs.
• Bed sizes are not printed.
• Gresik, one of the 6 cabins, shares a bathroom.
• No jet ski or other motorised water toys are listed.
• No dive compressor or tanks.

On a private charter, two more lines are outside the price: the local guide and the documentation crew, both quoted separately on request. Park entry and rangers are outside every fare.

None of this is hidden; all of it is on the equipment list. Run your own must-have list against the fit check below and strike out the boat if a line fails.

Some guests will be happier on a different boat, and they come in two kinds. The first wants service of hotel standard: a butler, a cabin attendant per deck, a printed wine list. With 6 crew for up to 23 guests, this boat runs on a small team that cooks, steers and serves.

The second needs every cabin ensuite for a full group. Beyond two to a cabin in the five private cabins on King Cirox 2, a group either adds extra beds or puts somebody in Gresik with the shared bathroom.

Everyone else is the guest this boat suits: couples who want a balcony at a sensible price, families who need a four-berth cabin, groups who want a whole phinisi without paying for a superyacht. For them the 2027 booklet holds the whole-boat 3D2N at IDR 50,000,000 (≈ USD 3,067) for one to five people from January to July 2027. Set your own list beside the compass below and decide.
