Private Yacht Charter Bali: Dedicated Vessels, Day Rates & What’s Included
A private yacht charter in Bali means the entire vessel is yours — from USD 990.90 per boat per day (about Rp 15,855,000) for a crewed 13-metre yacht carrying up to 13 guests, never shared with another booking. Captain, crew, fuel, lunch, snorkelling equipment and entrance tickets are all inside that one rate. This page exists because most operators answer “private yacht” searches with a generic homepage; here instead is the specific product — which vessels are available, what each costs per duration, and precisely where “private” begins and ends.
What “private” actually means on our fleet
On a shared cruise you buy a seat; on a private charter you buy the manifest. In practice that means:
- One booking per departure. Your party is the only party aboard — whether you are two people or thirteen.
- Your schedule. Departure time, route order, how long you float at each anchorage — the captain plans around you, within daylight and sea-state limits.
- Your deck. Bow loungers, cabin, sound system, swim platform: nothing is queued for, nothing is shared.
- Your crew. The guide shoots your GoPro frames, the crew serves your table — a service ratio no per-seat product can match.
What it does not mean: self-drive. Indonesian regulations and the reef navigation of the Badung Strait make every charter skippered — the licensed captain is already in the price, not an add-on.
Price per vessel, per duration
Rates are published per boat in USD, with indicative IDR at the same conversion used across our packages (USD 57 = Rp 912,000 → Rp 16,000/USD).
| Vessel | Length / capacity | Full day (~8 h) | IDR (indicative) | Half-day / sunset |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Angels Yacht | 13 m / 13 guests | USD 990.90 | Rp 15,855,000 | Quoted vs day rate |
| Riki J Yacht | 13 m / 14 guests | USD 993.60 | Rp 15,898,000 | Quoted vs day rate |
| Sea Dragon | 12 m / 12 guests | USD 997.65 | Rp 15,962,000 | Quoted vs day rate |
Shorter windows are quoted against the day rate rather than at a flat half, because crew, fuel positioning and harbour slots are fixed costs — ask the concierge to price your exact window. Groups above 14 sail two boats in convoy. For the broader picture of routes and formats across the fleet, start at the Bali yacht charter overview.

A day aboard: how the charter runs
- Before you sail: the concierge confirms route, dietary notes and any celebration set-up; the captain checks the strait forecast 24 hours out and sends the harbour pin.
- Morning: board at Serangan; the exposed crossing runs in the early calm. First anchorages — Manta Point or the Lembongan reef edge — before the day-boat crowds.
- Midday: lunch served on board at a sheltered anchorage; swim platform down, paddle or snorkel at will.
- Afternoon: the photo legs — Kelingking from sea level, the Ceningan channel — then the golden-hour run home, or an extended sunset leg by arrangement.
Celebrations are the fleet’s specialty: proposals staged at the Kelingking pass, birthday decks dressed before boarding, catering upgrades plated by the crew. One WhatsApp thread holds the whole arrangement, and the same thread can extend your trip — for multi-day private expeditions eastward, our Juara Holding Group sister brand Komodo Luxury runs dedicated vessels from Labuan Bajo under the same group standards, in operation since 2015.
Private charter vs shared ticket: the honest math
| Group size | Private charter, per person | What a shared product offers |
|---|---|---|
| 2 guests | ~USD 495 pp | USD 57 pp — shared deck, fixed route |
| 6 guests | ~USD 165 pp | USD 57 pp — but six seats, not a boat |
| 10 guests | ~USD 99 pp | Approaching parity with premium shared tickets |
| 13 guests | ~USD 76 pp | Private costs comparable per head — with the whole vessel yours |
Couples who simply want an evening at sea are often better served by the shared sailings on our luxury boat trip line-up. From about ten guests, the private charter stops being the indulgent option and becomes the rational one.
What is included — and the three usual extras
Included: the whole vessel, licensed captain, crew, English-speaking guide, fuel for the published route, harbour fees, entrance tickets, lunch, drinking water, towels, premium snorkelling sets, underwater GoPro photography and health insurance during the trip. The inclusion list is deliberately boring — it is the same on every vessel, every day, so the quote you receive is the number you pay. Dietary requirements, celebration set-ups and catering upgrades are confirmed in the same WhatsApp thread before sailing day, never improvised at the pier.
Extras (arranged on request): hotel transfers, alcoholic drinks, and crew gratuities. Nothing else appears on the invoice that was not in the written quote.
The three vessels, in one honest paragraph each
Sea Dragon is the speed specialist: a 12-metre twin-outboard speedboat whose 40-minute Serangan–Penida crossing buys you first position at Manta Point. The bow deck carries synthetic grass and oversized bean-bag loungers; the weather-protected cabin has wrap-around glass, cushioned bench seating and fresh towels waiting. Angels Yacht trades a knot or two for the most social deck of the three — thirteen guests spread comfortably between bow and stern, which is why it is the fleet’s most-requested celebration boat. Riki J carries fourteen, making it the pick for the largest single-vessel groups and the flagship of two-boat convoys. All three run the same crew standard: licensed captain, English-speaking guide, and a deckhand whose entire brief is your comfort.
Frequently asked questions
How much is a private yacht charter in Bali?
From USD 990.90 per boat per full day (about Rp 15,855,000) for up to 13 guests, all-inclusive. Per person, that ranges from about USD 76 (full deck) to USD 495 (a couple).
Is the yacht really private, or will others join?
Really private. One booking per departure — the fleet takes no per-seat sales on charter days, whatever your group size.
Can two people charter a whole yacht?
Yes. Couples charter for proposals and anniversaries constantly; the rate is per vessel, so the boat costs the same for two as for thirteen.
Can I choose my own route?
Yes, within daylight and sea conditions. Reorder stops, linger at an anchorage, add a sunset leg — the captain has final say only on safety.
Is a skipper included, or can I drive the boat myself?
A licensed captain is always included and always required — Indonesian regulations do not permit bareboat self-drive charters in these waters.
How do I book, and how fast is confirmation?
WhatsApp the concierge with your date and group size; availability and a written quote come back the same day, and a deposit locks the vessel.
Take the whole boat. Message WhatsApp (+62 811-2859-0000) with your date and group size for same-day availability and a written per-vessel quote.
