Bali Catamaran Charter – Private Luxury Catamaran Hire Around Bali, Nusa Penida & Gilis

If your group wants maximum stability, wide decks and a relaxed island‑hopping vibe, a bali catamaran charter is the most comfortable way to explore Bali, Nusa Penida, Nusa Lembongan and the Gili Islands. We focus on private 1–5 day charters for families, friends and small corporate groups.

We are based in Lombok and work across Bali–Lombok–Komodo. This page is about catamarans only; for phinisi liveaboards and longer Lombok–Komodo sailing, see our Luxury Lombok home, Packages & Pricing and Lombok to Komodo Cruise pages.

What’s Included in a Private Bali Catamaran Charter

Every bali catamaran charter we arrange is fully crewed and customised. As a baseline, you can expect:

• Private use of the catamaran for your group only (no outside guests).
• Professional captain, deck crew and basic English‑speaking host.
• 1–5 day itineraries around Bali, Nusa Lembongan, Nusa Penida and Gili Islands (Trawangan, Air, Meno).
• Fuel for the agreed route and hours under way each day.
• Use of snorkelling equipment (masks, snorkels, fins; sizes on request).
• On‑board sound system, shaded lounges and sunbathing areas.
• Drinking water, tea, coffee and soft drinks (selection varies by boat).
• Light snacks and lunch on day charters; full‑board meals on multi‑day charters (depending on catamaran).
• Basic travel and liability insurance for the vessel and crew.
• Towels and basic bathroom amenities on overnight charters.

Typical optional extras (quoted separately) include:

• Alcohol, premium wine and champagne.
• Dive guides and scuba equipment rental.
• Professional photographer or drone operator (subject to local rules).
• Hotel/villa transfers in Bali, Senggigi, Gili transfer via Bangsal in Lombok.
• Kayaks, SUP boards and sea scooters (varies by catamaran).

We will confirm an exact inclusion list for your specific catamaran at proposal stage.

The Route: Day Trips and 1–5 Day Island‑Hopping

Our bali catamaran charter routes are designed around calm anchorages, clear water and realistic travel times. Wind, swell and port regulations can change plans; we always prioritise safety and comfort.

Typical day charter options (approx. 6–9 hours):

• Bali – Nusa Lembongan & Nusa Penida
  Common departure: Benoa Harbour (Denpasar area) or Serangan.
  Swim and snorkel around Lembongan and Penida, with stops such as Crystal Bay, Toyapakeh area and mangrove anchorages, conditions permitting.
• Bali coastal cruising
  Shorter half‑day coastal cruises off Sanur, Nusa Dua or Uluwatu cliffs, subject to sea state and mooring options.

Overnight and multi‑day itineraries (2–5 days):

From Bali we often structure 2–3 day loops around Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Penida, or one‑way trips combined with Lombok fast boat or flights. From Lombok we can integrate the Gilis more easily.

Sample frameworks:

• 2D1N – Bali > Nusa Lembongan / Nusa Penida loop
  Day 1: Depart Benoa or Serangan, cross to Lembongan, snorkel, sunset mooring.
  Day 2: Morning around Penida (for example Crystal Bay / northern coast if conditions are favourable), afternoon return to Bali.
• 3D2N – Bali > Nusa Penida & Lombok coastal
  Day 1: Bali to Penida anchorages, snorkelling and relaxed sailing.
  Day 2: Longer leg toward Lombok, potential Gili Gede or south‑west Lombok stops (subject to boat range and weather).
  Day 3: Cross back toward Bali or disembark Lombok with separate transfer to Senggigi/Mataram.
• 3–5 day Lombok & Gili Islands catamaran
  Depart Lombok (Senggigi or Bangsal area) for Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno and Gili Air, then explore north‑west Lombok anchorages and quiet bays. This can be paired with a separate phinisi liveaboard onward to Komodo from Lombok or Labuan Bajo.

If your plan is to eventually see Komodo National Park (a UNESCO World Heritage area; background here on Wikipedia and Indonesia.travel), we typically suggest:

• Use a bali catamaran charter for Bali–Nusa Penida–Gili / Lombok comfort and flexibility.
• Then join a separate phinisi cruise on our Lombok to Komodo Cruise route for the 4D3N or 5D4N Lombok–Labuan Bajo section.

We will advise realistic timing and combinations when you enquire.

The Boats: Sailing and Power Catamarans We Work With

A bali catamaran charter is about space and stability. Catamarans have two hulls connected by a wide deck, which feels noticeably steadier at anchor and underway than comparable monohull yachts.

We arrange:

• Power catamarans (fast, efficient, ideal for day trips and short overnights):
  • Typical size: 35–50 ft.
  • Capacity: 8–18 guests depending on design and licensing.
  • Layout: large aft cockpit, flybridge with seating, interior saloon.
• Sailing catamarans (comfortable and fuel‑efficient on multi‑day charters):
  • Typical size: 38–52 ft.
  • 3–5 guest cabins with double or queen beds plus crew quarters.
  • Spacious trampolines forward, shaded cockpit, indoor saloon and galley.

On overnight catamarans, cabins are generally en‑suite or share a bathroom between two cabins. Air‑conditioning is available on most overnight boats (running times depend on the generator and local regulations in anchorages).

Each vessel we propose will come with:

• Current photos and layout plan.
• Maximum recommended guest count for your comfort (not just legal limit).
• Detailed list of amenities – AC, sound system, water toys, tender boat, etc.

If you need something very specific (for example, full shaded deck for an older group, accessible boarding for limited mobility, or quiet corners for children’s naps) tell us early and we will match the right hull and layout.

Who a Bali Catamaran Charter Suits Best

A bali catamaran charter works well for groups that value comfort, casual atmosphere and flexibility more than rigid schedules.

It is particularly suitable for:

• Families with kids – wide decks, better stability at anchor and easy access ladders make life simpler with young children and multi‑generational groups.
• Friends’ trips and celebrations – birthdays, small weddings, pre‑wedding trips, anniversaries; we can coordinate cake, décor and basic AV.
• Corporate incentives and small offsites – relaxed meeting space on the water, plus snorkelling or beach time between short sessions.
• First‑time sailors or those prone to motion sickness – catamarans tend to feel more stable than monohulls, especially at rest.
• Photography and content crews – wide, uncluttered decks, multiple angles, and flexible move‑stop‑shoot schedules.

If your group is more focused on diving multiple sites per day, or wants a longer linear route from Lombok to Labuan Bajo with classic phinisi style, talk to us about combining your bali catamaran charter with our phinisi options instead of trying to do everything on one boat.

Pricing Guide for Bali Catamaran Charters

Pricing depends on the size and class of catamaran, season, departure port, number of guests and how full‑service you want your charter to be (simple day trip vs. premium multi‑day with chef, toys and bar).

For planning purposes, use the following approximate ranges as a guide only:

Approximate charter rates:
– Day charters (1 day): approx USD 2,000–6,000 per day, depending on catamaran size, guest count and inclusions such as transfers and upgraded F&B.
– Multi‑day charters (3–5 days): approx USD 8,000–20,000 total for 3–5 days for the private boat, again depending on length, boat class and extras.

To give that context:

• A smaller power catamaran for a simple Bali–Nusa Lembongan day out for 6–8 guests, with snacks and soft drinks, might sit toward the lower end.
• A larger, newer sailing catamaran with 4–5 cabins, full‑board cuisine, water toys and transfers for 10–12 guests over 4–5 days will sit toward the upper end.

We price each bali catamaran charter individually. Once you share dates, group size, starting point (Bali or Lombok) and approximate route, we will respond with 1–3 specific boats, clear inclusions and an approximate all‑in charter cost.

How a Bali Catamaran Charter Works (Logistics & How to Book)

Step 1 – Share your dates and group profile
Tell us:

• Preferred dates and whether they are flexible by 1–2 days.
• Number of adults and children (with ages).
• Where you are staying: Bali (Seminyak, Canggu, Uluwatu, Ubud, Nusa Dua, Sanur), Senggigi/Mataram in Lombok, or the Gilis (Trawangan, Air, Meno).
• Rough idea of the experience: chilled snorkelling day, multi‑day island‑hopping, celebration, etc.

Step 2 – We propose boats and route options
We then:

• Suggest suitable catamarans with photos, layouts and inclusion lists.
• Outline a realistic route for your time frame (for example Bali–Lembongan–Penida, or Lombok–Gili–north‑west coast).
• Flag any sea‑state or seasonal considerations (for example, south‑coast swell, currents around Nusa Penida).

If you are connecting to or from a Lombok–Labuan Bajo liveaboard, we also align your catamaran charter with your Packages & Pricing phinisi dates so transfers are smooth.

Step 3 – Hold and confirm
Once you select a catamaran and dates:

• We place a temporary hold (when available) while we finalise details.
• A deposit is required to confirm the booking; balance is due before sailing as per your contract.
• Passenger list, dietary notes and special requests are finalised at this stage.

Step 4 – Arrival and boarding
On the day:

• We coordinate transfers from your villa or hotel to the marina (for example, Benoa Harbour or Serangan in Bali; Senggigi or Bangsal area in Lombok).
• For Gili guests, we typically arrange a short boat transfer via Bangsal Harbour, commonly used as the Lombok gateway for Gili Trawangan and Gili Air.
• Our team or partner representative meets you at the dock, manages harbour formalities and brings you to the catamaran by tender or alongside berth, depending on the port.

Step 5 – During your charter
Your captain will walk you through safety, the day’s plan and realistic options depending on wind and swell. Routes may adjust for comfort or local conditions; your bali catamaran charter is private, so within safety and regulatory limits the schedule is flexible.
