Charter · Whole boat
A phinisi or motor yacht chartered for your group alone, seven to ten days between Lombok, Bali and Labuan Bajo. You tell us who is coming and when; we match the yacht, draw the route and run the operation.
Included
Every charter is customised, but a standard seven to ten day booking carries all of this before we start adding anything.
What sits outside the price
Ranger fees inside the park are usually extra. Soft drinks are included on many yachts; wine and cocktails are add-ons or bring-your-own, and corkage policy differs by vessel.
Where it goes further
On the top-tier yachts we can add kayaks, paddleboards, dive equipment and instructors, or a massage therapist. Each one is confirmed line by line in the proposal so nothing is ambiguous.
Hull choice
Hand-built wooden sailing yachts designed as liveaboards. Four to ten air-conditioned cabins, many en-suite, an indoor saloon, shaded dining decks and a sun deck, built solidly for the open legs between Lombok and Sumbawa.
Fewer cabins, usually right for four to six guests, with higher cruising speed. You trade deck space for time: less of the charter spent crossing, more of it inside the park.
How we actually choose
We will not push one boat. We look at group size, cabin configuration, whether the charter is snorkel-led, dive-led or a celebration, and where you sit in the $8,000–25,000+ band. Then we send two or three yachts with layouts, photos and a clear inclusion list.
The route
The corridor shared boats run in four days, stretched so the long crossings happen while you sleep. An example only — every charter is redrawn around your dates.
Day 1–2
Board near Bangsal or Senggigi, safety briefing, then a sunset sail past the Gili islands. A first snorkel or beach stop, dinner on board under way.
Day 3
A long scenic passage with a relaxed day on deck, an optional village visit and swim stops. The day the yacht itself becomes the point.
Day 4–7
Several days around Komodo and Rinca, anchored in calm bays: the early Padar hike, Pink Beach, a drift at Manta Point, a ranger trek to see dragons, and sandbanks for paddleboarding.
Day 8–10
A final morning swim, brunch on board, then disembarkation in Labuan Bajo on Flores. Most guests fly from there back to Bali or on to Jakarta.
We run the same concept in reverse from Labuan Bajo. Shared boats often stretch the westbound leg to five days; on a private charter the duration flexes around tides, yacht speed and your time budget.
Who charters
A high-budget product for people who want control and privacy rather than a scheduled shared departure.
Contained and adjustable
A safe, contained environment where children can move freely and the plan can be redrawn over breakfast.
Milestones
Thirtieth, fortieth and fiftieth birthdays, reunions and occasions that run across Bali and Komodo.
Off-grid
A strategy retreat, incentive trip or executive getaway that still has reliable service and structure.
Own pace
Guests who have done the scheduled version and want to set their own timetable instead of following one.
Pricing
Quoted per charter, not per person. The published band for a seven to ten day route between Lombok, Bali and Labuan Bajo is $8,000 to $25,000 and above.
Compact
A smaller private yacht outside peak season with straightforward inclusions.
From $8,000
Extended
A larger or more comfortable vessel with more of the charter spent inside the park.
$18,000 guide
Peak
July to September and major holidays price at the top of the band; ultra-luxury specification goes beyond it.
$25,000+
We do not issue instant online quotes: availability, tides and fuel routing move the real number. Yacht class, season, duration, activity focus and inclusions are what shift it most.
Booking
Dates or a month, guest count and approximate ages, starting point, whether diving is included, and your target band within the $8,000–25,000+ guide.
We check real availability and propose route options — Bali–Lombok–Komodo one way, or a Lombok round trip. Each proposal lists inclusions, exclusions and payment terms.
We place a temporary hold where the yacht allows and issue an invoice. A deposit confirms the charter; the balance falls due before departure on the vessel's terms.
With the charter blocked we fix the daily plan: early hikes, photography windows, dives, preferred anchorages, dietary notes and any occasion on board.
We advise on fast boat, ferry or flight into Lombok International Airport, or a direct Benoa departure when a suitable yacht is available.
One point of contact runs your file from the first message through to disembarkation in Labuan Bajo.
Between $8,000 and $25,000 and above for the whole yacht over seven to ten days. Four to six guests outside peak season sit at the lower end; ten to fourteen guests in mid-year high season sit mid to upper, or beyond on ultra-luxury specification.
No. The figure is per charter. Split across a full group it often lands closer to a good cabin fare than people expect, which is why larger parties charter at all.
Usually Bangsal Harbour or the Senggigi area in Lombok, or direct from Benoa in south Bali on yachts permitted to do so. Most charters finish in Labuan Bajo on Flores.
Yes. Labuan Bajo back to Lombok or Bali works on the same framework. Shared boats often stretch that direction to five days; on a private charter we set the duration around tides and your schedule.
A whole-boat charter is poor value at that size and we will say so. We would point you at a cabin on a scheduled phinisi departure instead.
Harbour clearances and standard port fees for scheduled stops are. Ranger fees inside Komodo National Park are usually extra and quoted separately.
