Charter · Bali departure
A private phinisi or motor yacht from south Bali across Lombok and Sumbawa into Komodo National Park, over seven to ten days. You board in Bali and step off in Labuan Bajo without a domestic flight in between.
Why sail it
Most Komodo trips involve a domestic flight, a fast boat, or both, tied to someone else's timetable. This one does not. We pick you up from your villa or hotel in south Bali and hand you over to the yacht; the next time you deal with an airport is in Labuan Bajo.
How long
The corridor is the same; what changes is how many nights you spend near Lombok and Sumbawa before the park, and whether you come home by air or by sea.
7 days
The efficient version. Overnight crossings scheduled so you wake up near the next anchorage, and you are approaching Komodo by day three or four.
Rule of thumb
Fly home from Flores
8–10 days
More nights on Sumbawa's north coast, more time inside the park, and space for the stops you would otherwise skip to keep the schedule.
Rule of thumb
More park time per day sailed
9–10 days
A loop that returns you to where you started. It costs more steaming time and fuel, which shows up in the quote, but it removes the return flight entirely.
Rule of thumb

The passage
A proven sailing corridor. We move the anchorages to suit your interests and the season, but the flow of the journey stays predictable.
Embarkation
Pickup from your hotel or villa in Seminyak, Canggu, Jimbaran, Nusa Dua, Sanur or Ubud. Benoa Harbour for the larger phinisi and motor yachts; Serangan or a nearby marina for smaller hulls and flexible timings. Safety briefing, route review, then the afternoon or evening crossing.
Leg 1
The first overnight positions you for calmer sailing. You can stop off the Senggigi coast for sunrise views back towards Mount Agung. Tender transfers via Bangsal pick up friends coming from the Gilis, and a swim stop around the Gili area is possible if the weather allows.
Leg 2
Quiet bays on the north coast for snorkelling and paddleboarding, overnight anchorages with almost no light pollution, and the long blue-water crossings scheduled at night so you wake up near Komodo.
Leg 3
Padar for a steep but short ridge hike, morning or late afternoon. Pink Beach for snorkelling straight off the sand. Manta Point for a drift in season. Komodo or Rinca to walk with licensed rangers. Tenders handle every transfer to beaches, trailheads and ranger stations.
Disembarkation
A final morning cruise back towards the harbour and a farewell breakfast on board. Then a transfer to your hotel in town, or straight to Komodo Airport for the flight to Bali or Jakarta.
Ranger walks and park entries are coordinated in advance. Komodo National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage site and the landing rules do change; we work to the current ones.
Included
A fully crewed charter rather than just a boat. Every charter is tailored, but a typical inclusion list reads like this.
Confirmed line by line
Exact inclusions, park fees and guiding services vary by vessel class and the final itinerary, so the proposal states them explicitly. Alcohol, dive packages, higher-tier park fees and discretionary tips sit outside the charter fee.
Where it goes further
The same charter can stay simple and family-friendly, or carry fine wines, dive guides, a photographer, a spa therapist and curated shore experiences. It is your call, not a package tier.
The fleet
These are the hulls that perform well on the longer Bali–Komodo run. We match you to one only after we understand the group, the dates, how much sailing you actually want, and the budget.
6–10 cabins
Traditional wooden sailing vessels with hotel-style cabins, large indoor and outdoor lounges and a strong chef team. Ideal for eight to sixteen guests.
3–6 cabins
Intimate boats for families or smaller groups who want high comfort and personal service without the scale.
Faster transit
Contemporary lines and a different feel under way. The right answer when you want to cover the distance quickly and prioritise time inside the park.
Pricing
The realistic guide for a private Bali to Komodo charter is $12,000 to $40,000 and above for the entire yacht. Vessel type, trip length, month of travel and inclusions move it.
Example
A comfortable premium phinisi on the efficient one-way run. An example, not a formal quote.
$12,000–18,000
Indicative
The figure a mid-length Bali to Komodo charter is typically quoted at once the yacht and dates are settled.
$18,000
Example
A larger luxury phinisi or motor yacht in high season, with more of the charter spent inside the park.
$25,000–40,000+
Every proposal states what is included — meals, basic drinks, gear, transfers, standard fuel — and what is not: alcohol, diving packages, higher-tier park fees and discretionary tips.
Booking
Preferred dates or month, group size, approximate budget, and whether you want one-way Bali to Labuan Bajo or a round trip back to Bali.
We propose one to three suitable yachts, each with an outline itinerary and an approximate total for the period.
Together we decide how many nights go to Lombok, Sumbawa and the park, and what the days hold — snorkelling, hiking, possible diving, shore visits.
A temporary hold while you review the charter contract and payment schedule. A deposit confirms it.
Menu planning, cabin allocation, transfers from Bali hotels or villas, and any special requests — birthdays, honeymoons, family celebrations.
You do not have to solve Bali to Lombok, or align a domestic flight with a shared boat departure. Routing, tides and timing are ours to manage.
