FAQ

Questions, answered

What are the key design considerations for extended stays around Komodo?

A robust hull for varied seas, generous fuel and water capacity, efficient waste management and onboard power — plus stability, shallow draft and ample storage for diving equipment and provisions.

How do you ensure sustainability in Komodo yacht construction?

Sustainable aluminium or bio-based composite hulls, solar panels with hybrid or fully electric propulsion, advanced wastewater treatment, and responsible wood and eco-friendly leather alternatives inside.

Which technologies are becoming standard in new liveaboards?

AI-powered navigation, IoT climate and security, VR entertainment, graphene-enhanced carbon fibre and 3D-printed parts — with optional submersible integration and touch-and-go helipads on larger superyachts.

Are your designs ready for autonomous navigation rules?

Regulations for autonomous vessels in protected areas like Komodo are expected to evolve. Our designs are future-proofed to adapt to these anticipated changes.
