Twenty people, five cabins, and a plan for the ones who feel the swell
Updated 8 November 2026
Who sleeps where on a Komodo group charter comes down to one table. Arfisyana holds 20 guests in 5 cabins: 3 + 3 in the two Master Cabins, then 4, 6 and 4 in the Sharing Rooms. That is 18 standard beds and two extra beds.
Rooming plan for 20: the full table, room by room
Start from the table. The two Master Cabins have a double bed each and take one extra bed on request, which makes 2 or 3 guests apiece. The Sharing Room for 4 has a double bunk bed, two doubles stacked. The Sharing Room for 6 has a double bunk plus a single bunk. The third Sharing Room has bunk beds for 4.
The sum for a full boat is 3 + 3 + 4 + 6 + 4, which is 20. Without the two extra beds, the boat holds 18 standard beds. If your party is 18 or fewer, you can leave the extra beds out, and the Master Cabins take 2 each.
Sea-view window, air conditioning, private bathroom: all five cabins carry the set. Deck level, bed width and cabin size come in writing on request, with anything else you need confirmed before you pay.
Print the table. Write names beside each room, and send the sheet to us with the name list.
| Cabin | Rooms | Beds | Sleeps | with extra bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Master Cabin | 2 | 1 double bed + 1 extra bed on request (2 to 3 guests) | 4 | 6 |
| Sharing Room for 4 | 1 | Double bunk bed: two double beds stacked (4 guests) | 4 | 4 |
| Sharing Room for 6 | 1 | Double bunk bed + single bunk bed (6 guests) | 6 | 6 |
| Third Sharing Room | 1 | Bunk beds (4 guests) | 4 | 4 |
| Berths in total | 5 | 18 | 20 |
Four ways to split 20: by class, household, team or age
The table gives you rooms. You still need a rule. Four rules work. Pick one and stick to it.
By class or year. Each class takes a Sharing Room, and teachers take the Master Cabins as chaperones. Suits a school or a study tour.
By household. Families keep together. A couple with a child takes a Master Cabin with the extra bed; a household of four takes the Sharing Room for 4. Suits an extended family.
By team. A department fills a room, and the managers take the Masters. Suits a company outing.
By age. Elders in the Masters, adults in the room of 4, the young in the room of 6. Suits any mixed group.
A split by gender is planning advice, not a boat rule. Send the split you want, and the boat team's answer comes back in writing. Do not assume it until you have the confirmation.
Seasickness plan: seat, horizon, water, medicine from your doctor
Some of your group will feel the swell. Plan for it before the boat leaves the harbour, and nobody has to feel embarrassed on deck.
Fresh air first. Sit in the open, in the saloon or on the deck, where you can see the horizon. Stay out of the cabin when the sea is moving. Eat lightly before sailing, and drink water through the day. A big, greasy breakfast is the classic mistake.
Medicine is a matter for each person's own doctor or pharmacist, before sailing. We give no medical advice. Bring it, take it as the label says, and tell the leader who has taken what.
Do not choose a cabin for its calm. We do not rank one cabin as steadier than another. The captain chooses calmer anchorages by weather, and that is the part of the plan we can rely on.
Tell the leader at once if someone is unwell. A quiet word on day one is better than a bad night.
Saloon, sun deck and lazy chairs: where the group goes by day
By day the group leaves the cabins. The saloon on the main deck is covered and open-sided, with dining and lounge in one space. Meals are served there, and so are the briefings.
The sun deck on the top deck has lazy chairs and bean bags. It is the place for the sunrise, for the afternoon doze and for the evening at Kalong. It is open, so take a hat.
Twenty people fit across both spaces. The trick is to spread them: some in the saloon with a card game, some on the deck with a book, and a few swimming at every snorkel stop. A group that all crowds into one corner feels cramped, even on a 29 m boat.

Extra beds, snorers and early risers: say so at booking
Three details decide how well the group sleeps, and none of them is on the fare page.
Extra beds first. Each Master Cabin takes one extra bed on request. Say at booking which cabin gets it and who sleeps there. We confirm the price of the extra bed in writing.
Snorers next. Put them in the same room, or in a Master Cabin of their own. Ask about it politely, but ask. A bunk room of 6 with one loud sleeper turns into a long night.
Early risers last. The Padar sunrise starts the day before dawn, and whoever wakes first wakes everybody. Put the early risers together, and put them near the stairs if you can. Tell us in advance, and we pass the plan to the boat team.
FAQ
How do 20 people share five cabins without arguments?
Agree the rule first, then the rooms. Put chaperones, elders or couples in the two Master Cabins, 3 each with their extra beds, and the rest in Sharing Rooms of 4, 6 and 4. Write the names on a sheet and send it to us.
What can a leader do about seasickness in a group?
Sit people in the open air with a view of the horizon, ask them to eat lightly and drink water, and bring medicine from their own doctor or pharmacist before sailing. The captain picks calmer anchorages by weather. We give no medical advice.
How does a Master Cabin differ from a Sharing Room for our group?
A Master Cabin has a double bed, takes one extra bed on request and holds 2 or 3 guests. A Sharing Room has bunk beds and holds 4, 6 or 4. Sea-view window, air conditioning, private bathroom: all five cabins carry the set.
