All twelve cabins, deck by deck

Sea Familia 1 has four Manta cabins on the main deck and two Turtle cabins up on the upper deck. Each has a queen-size bed, a private bathroom and air conditioning. Manta Cabin I takes an extra bed, so it sleeps 2 to 3, and the Turtle cabins have big portholes.

On Sea Familia 2 the two Master cabins are on the main deck, with an ocean view, a balcony and an outdoor bathtub. Downstairs on the lower deck are three Deluxe cabins with two single beds each, and one Family cabin with a queen bed and a bunk for 2 to 4.

All twelve cabins have their own bathroom and air conditioning. The Master cabin and its bathroom are in the gallery; photos of the Deluxe and Family cabins on Sea Familia 2 are on request.

Open-trip fares per person, 3 days and 2 nights

An open-trip seat is a place in a cabin, priced per person. On an open trip the tour guide and the documentation are included. You choose the cabin; the sailing decides the boat, the route and who else is aboard.

A solo traveller pays one seat fare for the cabin and a couple pays two. On Sea Familia 1 you can book Manta or Turtle seats; on Sea Familia 2, Master, Deluxe or Family.

The table gives the fare for each cabin. We don't show seat counts here, because availability is confirmed in writing for the date you pick.

Who sleeps where: three sample parties

First, a family of four on Sea Familia 1. The parents take a Manta cabin on the main deck and the two children share Manta Cabin I, which sleeps up to 3 with its extra bed. Each cabin has its own bathroom.

Two couples on Sea Familia 2 take a Master cabin each, so both get a balcony and an outdoor bathtub and nobody walks through anyone else's room.

A family of five on Sea Familia 2 splits differently. The three children have the Family cabin, with a queen bed and a bunk for 2 to 4, and the parents take a Deluxe cabin with two single beds.

Cabins are confirmed in your written quote. Tell us the children's ages and we'll build the plan around them.

The extra bed, and children under three

Sea Familia 1 offers an extra bed in Manta Cabin I only, at IDR 4,795,000 (≈ USD 294) per person on an open trip. Sea Familia 2 offers one in a Master cabin only, at IDR 3,000,000 (≈ USD 184) per person. No other cabin on either boat takes an extra bed.

That extra bed is meant for a third person: a child in Manta Cabin I, say, or a third adult or a teenager in a Master cabin. Both fares are per person and apply to open-trip seats only.

Children under 3 travel free with a parent or guardian; from 3 the full fare applies. Where a baby sleeps is agreed in writing with the cabin plan.

A seat, or every cabin

Four people in two Manta cabins pay four seat fares at IDR 6,850,000 (≈ USD 420) each. The whole of Sea Familia 1 for the same four costs IDR 97,100,000 (≈ USD 5,957) for 3 days and 2 nights. What you're paying for is who else is aboard.

On an open trip you share the boat, the lunch table and the snorkel stops with other guests. On a private charter you don't. They're simply two different ways to travel.

Once you're six or more, the whole boat is the obvious choice: you fill the cabins yourselves and set the pace of the day. Compare both on the private charter page.

FAQ

Can one cabin be booked on an open trip?

Yes. An open-trip seat is booked by the cabin, per person, so a couple takes two seats in one cabin. On Sea Familia 1, Manta Cabin I also takes an extra bed. Availability for your date is confirmed in writing.

Which open-trip cabin suits a child of five?

On Sea Familia 1, Manta Cabin I, with a queen-size bed and an extra bed, suits a parent and a child. On Sea Familia 2, the Family cabin has a queen bed and a bunk. A child of five pays the full seat fare, because the free age ends at 3.

Which Sea Familia 2 cabins have a balcony?

The two Master cabins, and only those. They are on the main deck with an ocean view, a balcony and an outdoor bathtub. The three Deluxe cabins and the Family cabin are on the lower deck.

Does an open-trip seat come with a tour guide?

On an open trip the tour guide and the documentation are included. On a private charter it is not, and it is quoted separately on request.

Do babies need a seat?

Children under 3 travel free with a parent or guardian; from 3 the full fare applies. Where the baby sleeps is agreed in writing with the cabin plan, so give the age in your first message.

What if the booked boat cannot sail?

If the booked Sea Familia cannot sail for a reason beyond our control, we arrange a replacement boat of the same class, or refund you in full within 14 days.
