Luxury Yacht Charter Komodo: Experience Indonesia's Ultimate Private Sailing

Absolutely. All itineraries are fully customizable — destinations, activities, sailing pace, meal preferences, and onboard setup. You may even adjust plans mid-voyage based on weather conditions or personal preferences. Our charter specialists work with you before departure to build the ideal route.

Common destinations include Padar Island, Komodo Island, Rinca Island, Pink Beach, Taka Makassar sandbar, Manta Point, and selected snorkeling and diving sites within Komodo National Park. Extended charters may continue to Flores, Sumbawa, or Raja Ampat depending on duration.

The best season is generally April to November, offering calm seas, excellent underwater visibility, and optimal conditions for sailing, diving, and island exploration. July and August are peak months — book well in advance. Shoulder months (April–June, September–November) offer more flexibility and comparable conditions.

Begin by submitting an inquiry with your preferred dates, number of guests, and travel expectations. Our charter specialists will recommend suitable yachts, design a custom itinerary, and provide a personalized private quotation. No payment is required until you review and approve all terms.

The cost varies depending on yacht type (Phinisi, superyacht, or catamaran), travel dates, charter duration, number of guests, and level of onboard services requested. Each charter is fully customized — a personalized quotation is prepared based on your specific itinerary and preferences. Prices typically start from USD 5,900/night for premium Phinisi yachts and range upward for VVIP superyachts.

Snorkeling is included in all charters. Scuba diving with PADI-certified dive masters and full equipment is typically available as part of the charter package, subject to the yacht's specifications. Guests must hold a valid diving certification for scuba activities.

No. Komodo National Park entrance fees and ranger fees are not included in the base charter price unless explicitly stated in your personalized quotation. Our team coordinates all permits and park access as part of pre-departure logistics.

Drone usage is subject to local regulations and national park permits. Drone permit fees and approvals are not included in the charter price and must be arranged separately in advance — typically at least 7 days before departure. Our team can assist with the application process.

Yes. Comprehensive travel insurance and diving insurance are mandatory for all guests participating in a luxury yacht charter. We recommend policies that cover trip cancellation, medical emergencies, evacuation, and diving-related incidents. Our team provides insurance guidance during the booking process.

Yes. Alcohol is permitted on luxury yacht charters in Komodo. Alcoholic beverages are not included in the standard charter unless specifically arranged in advance. Guests may request onboard alcohol packages or bring their own, subject to yacht policies and local regulations.

A valid diving certification (PADI Open Water or equivalent) is required to participate in scuba diving activities. Guests without certification are very welcome to enjoy snorkeling, which requires no certification. Introductory or discovery dives may be arranged on selected yachts subject to conditions and crew availability.

Komodo Luxury publishes rates from USD 3,800 to USD 27,000 per night for the whole boat. Entry luxury yachts start at USD 3,800 per night, classic VVIP phinisi run USD 4,500–10,800 per night, premium superyacht phinisi USD 12,000–18,700 per night, and ultra-luxury flagships USD 20,000–27,000 per night. Vessels above USD 12,000 per night are quoted plus 11–12% Indonesian VAT.

Every rate on this page is per night for the entire vessel, including cabins, crew, chef, fuel and onboard activities — not per person. A USD 5,900 per night yacht sleeping 10 guests works out at roughly USD 590 per person per night when the boat is full.

The lowest published private luxury rate in the Komodo Luxury fleet is USD 3,800 per night for Anne Bonny (30 m, 3 cabins, up to 9 guests). Ikan Kayu Yacht follows at USD 3,900 per night and Manta Mae at USD 4,200 per night, both whole-boat.

Charters are billed per night, so a 3 days / 2 nights itinerary is two nights. At published 2026 rates that is roughly USD 7,600 for the entry tier and up to USD 54,000 for an ultra-luxury flagship, before VAT and national park fees.

The nightly rate covers the whole vessel: air-conditioned cabins, full crew and captain, private chef and all meals, non-alcoholic drinks, fuel, snorkelling gear, kayaks and paddleboards, guided island excursions and Labuan Bajo harbour transfers.

Komodo National Park entrance and ranger fees are paid separately — Komodo Luxury lists an estimated USD 25 for Indonesian citizens and USD 45 for foreign visitors, subject to prevailing government regulations at the time of travel. A drone permit inside the park is an estimated USD 70 and must be requested 7 days ahead. Flights to Labuan Bajo, alcohol, scuba diving, travel insurance and crew gratuities are also excluded, and 11–12% VAT applies on the vessels marked above.

Three vessels carry 20+ guests on one charter: Lasha Phinisi Cruise (52.5 m, 10 cabins, up to 26 guests, USD 9,800 per night), Mutiara Cruise Phinisi (47 m, 10 cabins, up to 28 guests, USD 8,250 per night) and Cheng Ho (35 m, 14 cabins, up to 26 guests).

Yes — several vessels already publish separate 2027 rates; Magia II, for example, moves from USD 5,900 per night in 2026 to USD 6,600 per night plus 11% tax in 2027. Peak windows (April–September, Christmas and New Year) are usually taken 6–12 months ahead, so 2027 charters are best confirmed during 2026.
