How to Book Yumana Liveaboard: Steps, Payment & What Happens Next
Plan a Yumana Liveaboard booking in four steps: send dates and headcount, request a written proposal and any available hold, review the named parties and payment terms, then confirm the booking and pre-departure details in writing. Use WhatsApp at +62 811 3823 875 or email sales@komodoluxury.com for enquiries. The team can coordinate availability and a proposal identifying the selected vessel, operator or provider, contracting party and payee before payment.
A conversation helps establish the details for your selected departure — minimum manifests, cabin minimums, dive certifications, park fees that shift, weather windows — and the written proposal records the agreed scope, availability and terms before payment. A courtesy hold or cabin allocation takes effect only as confirmed for that booking.
The four steps
| Step | What you do | What we do | Typical timing |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Enquire | Send dates, number of guests, trip length and preferred cabin | Coordinate availability and a dated written quote with the selected provider | Timing confirmed during the enquiry |
| 2. Hold | Request a cabin hold while planning onward travel | Confirm whether a hold is available and record its expiry and conditions | A short window, agreed with you |
| 3. Confirm | Review the named parties and written terms, then follow the agreed payment process | Coordinate written booking confirmation and the agreed scope | As stated in the written confirmation |
| 4. Prepare | Read the pack, book flights around it | Coordinate the pre-departure information and trip contact details | Ahead of departure, updated near the date |
What we need from you
- Full names exactly as printed in each passport — these go on the manifest and park documentation, and a mismatch causes problems at the ranger station.
- Nationality and passport number for park registration.
- Inbound and outbound flight times so we can confirm your boarding and disembarkation work.
- Dietary requirements and allergies for every guest — provisioning happens ashore in Labuan Bajo, so late notice cannot always be fixed.
- Dive certification level and last dive date if you are diving, plus your card and logbook on board.
- Medical conditions relevant at sea — asthma, heart conditions, pregnancy, mobility limits, severe seasickness.
- An emergency contact who is not travelling with you.
- Travel insurance details. We strongly recommend cover that includes marine activities.
Payment, deposit and currency
Published rate references are in Indonesian rupiah. The written quote should identify the contracting party, invoice issuer and payee, together with the amount, currency, deposit, balance deadlines, accepted payment methods and change or cancellation terms for the selected booking. Review these details before transferring payment — and verify that the recipient and reference match the written instructions for your booking.
Payment methods and any currency conversion or transfer charges should be confirmed in writing with the named payee. Published cabin-rate references are on the Yumana Liveaboard price list.
Your pre-departure pack
| What it contains | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Meeting point at Labuan Bajo harbour and boarding time | Confirm the current boarding time and any change procedure before onward travel |
| Transfer arrangements from airport or hotel | So nobody is standing at Komodo Airport wondering who to call |
| Confirmed cabin allocation | Confirm the room, deck and any applicable allocation conditions in writing |
| Packing list | Soft bag, reef-safe sunscreen, trainers for Padar and the dragon walks, rash guard, dry bag, medication, power bank |
| Park and government fee handling | What is collected, where, and in what form — confirmed for your travel month |
| Route outline and briefing schedule | Set out in full on the day-by-day itinerary |
| On-board contact numbers | For delays, changes and anything that goes wrong on travel day |
Changes, cancellations and weather
Request the change, cancellation and refund conditions in the written quote before payment. If an existing booking needs to change, refer to its agreed terms — and ask the named contracting party to record any agreed variation in writing.
Weather, sea state and access can change the route or departure arrangements. The captain assesses the sailing plan and activity access for the conditions. Request the booking-specific process for route changes, delays or cancellation and the contact responsible for communicating updates.

Before you message, it helps to have skimmed the departure schedule and availability page so you know how far ahead your month needs booking, and the cabin comparison so you can name a category. If Yumana is unavailable, ask whether a separate proposal for a named alternative vessel can be coordinated, with its own provider, scope and booking terms.
