What happens if I fall off a Komodo tour boat?

If you fall off the boat, the crew is trained to respond immediately. Captain Amar or whichever crew member spots you first will shout a man overboard alert. The boat will slow and turn to avoid running over you, and someone will keep visual contact with you at all times. A flotation device or life ring will be thrown to you as quickly as possible. on our boats and partner vessels, regular drills ensure that the crew reacts without hesitation.

You should try to remain calm and visible. Wave your arms and hold onto the flotation device once it reaches you. Do not swim toward the boat unless directed, as the propellers and hull movement can be dangerous. The crew will bring the boat alongside you or deploy the dinghy for recovery.

Water temperature in Komodo is generally warm, but extended exposure can still lead to fatigue or hypothermia in rare cases. The crew will bring the boat alongside you or deploy the dinghy for recovery. Do not swim toward the boat unless directed, as the propellers and hull movement can be dangerous.

To avoid falling overboard, use handrails when moving on deck, especially in rough seas or during night transit. Wear non slip footwear and avoid excessive alcohol. Most falls are preventable with common sense. Our crew is vigilant, but they cannot watch every guest simultaneously. Take responsibility for your own balance, and trust that if an accident happens, help is seconds away.
