Zada Ulla, Nara, Zen or Mega: which boat for which group
Updated 28 October 2026
Zada Ulla takes 28 guests, Zada Nara 14, Zada Zen 12 and Zada Mega 10. For 3D2N the whole boat is IDR 85,000,000 · about USD 5,215 on Mega or Zen, IDR 105,000,000 · about USD 6,442 on Nara and from IDR 95,000,000 · about USD 5,828 on Ulla. Start from the head count.
Side-by-side specification grid
The table sets the four boats side by side: capacity, cabins, length, the whole-boat rate, the open-trip fares and who each suits. Zada Ulla and Zada Nara list Smart TV, local Wi-Fi, a paddle board and a kayak, and Zada Ulla has a prayer room. Zada Ulla is 35.65 m long and Zada Nara 30.45 m.
Read it in this order: head count, cabins, rate, kit. The head count rules boats out, since none takes more than its capacity. The cabins decide the rooming list, the rate decides the budget line, and the kit decides whether the programme needs anything that a boat does not carry.
Two rows to watch: the on-board kit, where anything a programme depends on is confirmed in writing for the chosen boat, and the dining table, where every briefing happens.

Whole-boat rates in one grid, from one day to five
The grid gives the whole-boat rate for each boat at each length, with Zada Ulla at its lowest band. Rates are per boat, so the head count does not change a cell inside the boat's band.
| Length (2026 rates, IDR, per boat) | Zada Mega, 1 to 10 | Zada Zen, 1 to 12 | Zada Nara, 1 to 14 | Zada Ulla, 1 to 14 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1D | IDR 58,500,000 · about USD 3,589 | IDR 55,000,000 · about USD 3,374 | IDR 60,000,000 · about USD 3,681 | IDR 65,000,000 · about USD 3,988 |
| 2D1N | IDR 70,000,000 · about USD 4,294 | IDR 70,000,000 · about USD 4,294 | IDR 80,000,000 · about USD 4,908 | IDR 75,000,000 · about USD 4,601 |

Three differences, read off the grid. First, Zada Ulla's first band is below Zada Nara at every length from 2D1N: at 3D2N the pair is IDR 95,000,000 · about USD 5,828 against IDR 105,000,000 · about USD 6,442. The gap is widest at 4D3N and 5D4N, where Zada Nara is IDR 160,000,000 · about USD 9,816 and IDR 210,000,000 · about USD 12,883 against IDR 105,000,000 · about USD 6,442 and IDR 115,000,000 · about USD 7,055.
Second, at one day Zada Nara (IDR 60,000,000 · about USD 3,681) is below Zada Ulla (IDR 65,000,000 · about USD 3,988). Third, Zada Zen and Zada Mega carry the same rate at every length from 2D1N, and at one day Zada Zen (IDR 55,000,000 · about USD 3,374) is below Zada Mega (IDR 58,500,000 · about USD 3,589).
Cost per head at ten, twelve, fourteen and twenty-eight
Cost per head, 3D2N, boat divided by guests. Zada Mega at 10: IDR 8,500,000 · about USD 521. Zada Zen at 12: IDR 7,080,000 · about USD 434. Zada Nara at 14: IDR 7,500,000 · about USD 460. Zada Ulla at 14: IDR 6,790,000 · about USD 417. Zada Ulla at 28: IDR 5,710,000 · about USD 350.
Where Zada Ulla is cheaper per head than the smaller boats: at 14 guests it is below Zada Nara and Zada Zen at 12, and far below Zada Mega at 10. At 20 guests (IDR 5,500,000 · about USD 337) and above it is the lowest share of the four boats.
Where it is not: at 15 guests Zada Ulla's share is IDR 7,330,000 · about USD 450, above a full Zada Zen at 12, because the second band has just started. A party of 14 pays less per head on Zada Ulla than on Zada Nara, and a party of 10 or 12 should not look at Zada Ulla at all, because the first band is priced for up to 14 and the smaller boats are cheaper.
Band edges move the answer. On Zada Ulla, 20 guests cost IDR 5,500,000 · about USD 337 each and 21 guests cost IDR 6,430,000 · about USD 394; 25 cost IDR 5,400,000 · about USD 331 and 26 cost IDR 6,150,000 · about USD 377. A head count one name above an edge is worth a second look at the list before it is final.
The rule that follows: pick the boat whose ceiling is closest above your head count, then check the band edge.
Four fit checks: best for, not for, wrong when
Each card below carries three lists: who the boat is best for, who it is not for, and the situation in which it is the wrong choice. None of them ranks the boats.
Zada Ulla is for one booking that carries a whole company of 15 to 28. Zada Nara is for 13 to 14 guests who want a master cabin and two suites with a bathtub. Zada Zen is for 11 to 12 on a boat of their own. Zada Mega is for up to 10, and the wrong choice for an eleventh guest.
The cabin mix points the same way. Zada Ulla has five cabin types and is the only boat with Family and Superior cabins, which lets a company house a mixed party. Zada Nara has a master and two suites with a bathtub and four plain doubles. Zada Zen has six cabins that all face the sea, two of them with a bathtub. Zada Mega has five doubles, one of them with a balcony.
Read the cards as a filter, not a verdict: a boat that appears under not for does not suit this brief, and another brief will suit it well.
Zada Ulla
Who this boat suits
- one booking for a whole company of 15 to 28 guests
- a team that wants a master cabin and a suite for its principals
- a head count of 20 to 28, where the cost per head is lowest of the four boats
- a group that wants Smart TV, local Wi-Fi, a paddle board and a kayak
Who it does not suit
- a group above 28 on one boat, which books a second boat with it
- guests who each want a balcony, because only the Master and the Suite have one
- a team of 10 or fewer, which pays the whole boat for a small party
When this is the wrong boat
- the team needs a room with a screen, because briefings happen at the dining table
- you expect the cost per head to keep falling, because it steps up at 15, 21 and 26 guests
- you need twin beds confirmed now, because the bed set-up per pair is confirmed with the rooming list
Zada Nara
Who this boat suits
- 13 to 14 guests who want the whole boat
- a management team that wants a master and two suites with a bathtub
- a company that wants a saloon, a lounge and a sun deck on one boat

- a group above 14 on one boat, which books Zada Ulla or a second boat with it
- a team of 10 or fewer, which pays the whole boat for a small party
- guests who each want a balcony, because only the Master has one
When this is the wrong boat
- you need a 15th berth, because the boat takes 14
- you need a long route on a tight budget, because the 4D3N and 5D4N rates are set per boat and sit above Zada Ulla's first band
- you need a presentation set-up, because the programme is snorkelling, walks and a shared dinner
Zada Zen
Who this boat suits
- 11 to 12 guests on a boat of their own
- a board retreat or a leadership off-site
- a team that wants every cabin with a sea view
Who it does not suit

- a team of 10 or fewer, which pays the whole boat for a small party
- guests who each want a balcony, because only the Master has one
When this is the wrong boat
- you expect a printed day-by-day corporate programme, because the route is fixed and the programme is built with us

- you need a 13th berth, because the boat takes 12
Zada Mega
Who this boat suits
- a leadership team or a client group of up to 10

Who it does not suit
- a group above 10 on one boat, which books Zada Nara, Zada Ulla or a second boat with it
- a team that wants a lounge as well as a dining area
- a group that wants a choice of cabin grades, since four of the five cabins are close to one standard
When this is the wrong boat
- you need an eleventh berth, because the boat takes 10
- you need a presentation set-up, because the programme is snorkelling, walks and a shared dinner
- you want a long route on a tight budget, because the 4D3N and 5D4N rates are set per boat
Open-trip seat prices at a glance
Open-trip seats are per person, twin share, for 3D2N, with the guide and documentation included. The table lists the fares by cabin type for all four boats.
| Boat (2026 rates, per person, twin share, 3D2N) | Master | Suite | Deluxe | Other cabins |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Zada Nara | IDR 13,000,000 · about USD 798 | IDR 10,500,000 · about USD 644 | IDR 6,550,000 · about USD 402 | None |
| Zada Zen | IDR 9,000,000 · about USD 552 | IDR 7,000,000 · about USD 429 | No Deluxe cabin | Royal IDR 8,000,000 · about USD 491 |
| Zada Mega | IDR 8,500,000 · about USD 521 | IDR 7,000,000 · about USD 429 | IDR 6,000,000 · about USD 368 | None |

Zada Nara, Zada Zen and Zada Mega list Monday and Friday starts; 46 dates are listed from Friday, 6 November 2026. A seat is shared with other guests, so a hosted event needs a whole boat.
Compare a seat with a share of the whole boat before choosing. For 3D2N, a full Zada Nara at 14 is IDR 7,500,000 · about USD 460 per person, inside the range of the seat fares in the table; the same holds for a full Zada Zen at 12 and a full Zada Mega at 10. The seat includes the guide and documentation, and the charter gives you the boat. The cabins page works the comparison boat by boat.
Where one boat stops and a second begins
One boat covers up to 28 guests, and that boat is Zada Ulla. From 29 to 42 it is Ulla with Nara; from 43 to 54, Ulla, Nara and Zen; and up to 64, all four. Smaller combinations also work: Zada Ulla with Zada Zen covers 29 to 40, and Zada Ulla with Zada Mega covers 29 to 38.
Several boats are separate private charters booked together: same dates, subject to every boat being free, quoted per boat. Sailing together, a shared anchorage and a joint programme are arranged on request; the captains set the order and the anchorages.
Each boat in a combination is quoted on its own, with its own band and its own extras, so three- and four-boat combinations have no single total here. The multi-boat page works through the common combinations in detail.
