Riley Phinisi specifications, deck plan & cabins
Every dimension, every cabin and what sits on each of the three decks — the numbers behind a 29-metre Buginese schooner built in 2020.
The short answer
Twenty-nine metres, four cabins, ten guests
Riley Phinisi measures 29 × 5 metres at 62 GT, carries up to 10 guests across 4 air-conditioned cabins, and cruises at 6 – 9 knots on a Mitsubishi 6D16.
She was launched in 2020 from a South Sulawesi yard, with an ulin (ironwood) hull and jati (teak) joinery — the two timbers Buginese shipwrights have used for centuries because they hold up to salt water and heat.
Below is the full record as it appears on the operator's vessel file, followed by the deck-by-deck layout and each cabin in turn.

Deck plan
Three decks, and what is on each
Riley is laid out so that ten guests never queue for anything: two cabins on the upper deck beside the living space, two below amidships, and the whole top deck left open.

Engineering
Power, water and everything that has to keep working
Riley runs a Mitsubishi 6D16 for propulsion, and carries generators sized so the air conditioning, refrigeration and lighting hold through the night at anchor with the main engine shut down.
Five tons of fresh water covers showers and the galley across a four-day itinerary without rationing. Navigation is GPS with VHF radio for contact with Labuan Bajo harbour and the park rangers.

Questions about the boat
How many guests can Riley actually sleep?
Ten guests is the maximum, across four cabins. The Master Suite Cabin has a double bed plus an extra bed; the Deluxe Cabin, Junior Suite Cabin and Superior Cabin each have a double bed.
Which cabin is best if I am prone to seasickness?
A lower-deck cabin amidships. Motion is smallest closest to the waterline and near the centre of the boat, which is exactly where the Junior Suite and Superior cabins sit.
Is there air conditioning all night?
Yes. The generators run through the night at anchor, so air conditioning holds in every cabin.
Do all cabins have a private bathroom?
The Master Suite Cabin, Deluxe Cabin, Junior Suite Cabin and Superior Cabin all have their own bathroom with hot water. A shared bathroom is also available on board for day use.
Is there Wi-Fi on board?
Signal inside Komodo National Park is patchy and depends on the mobile network rather than the boat. Bring a local SIM if you need to stay reachable, and expect stretches with no coverage at all.
Can Riley be chartered outside Komodo?
Yes. Her regular ground is Komodo National Park out of Labuan Bajo, and she also runs the Lombok–Labuan Bajo corridor for guests who want the longer crossing. Ask the reservations desk about anything further afield.
