A family life on board. We were a family and liked having the boat to ourselves. The owner and her family went with us, and we had a great time doing everything from diving to going on trips to the beach. It was an unbelievable week. The boat was really comfy, and the crew was amazing. Komodo has good dining and scuba diving. There is no need to say more.
