Two or three days at sea instead of one — sunset at anchor, dawn snorkelling before the day boats arrive. Sleep aboard a cabin-equipped vessel, or run yacht by day and villa by night on our published fleet.
The Bali–Nusa Penida–Nusa Lembongan triangle is made for short multi-day sailing — big scenery, short legs, sheltered anchorages:
| Itinerary | Day-by-day outline | Signature moments |
|---|---|---|
| 2D1N Penida Circle | Day 1: Serangan → Lembongan snorkeling → Manta Point → evening at anchor or villa near Penida. Day 2: dawn Manta Bay → Kelingking viewpoint → return Serangan | Manta rays twice — crowded afternoon skipped, empty dawn gained |
| 3D2N Three-Island | Day 1: Serangan → Lembongan reefs → overnight. Day 2: Penida land tour (Kelingking, Broken Beach, Diamond Beach) → overnight. Day 3: Wall Point snorkeling → return | Full Penida coastline without a single rushed stop |
| Custom eastbound | Bali → Lombok west coast or Gili Islands with overnight stops, schedule built to the season | Crossing the Lombok Strait on your own timetable |
Honesty first: our three published Bali day yachts — Angels Yacht (13 m, up to 13 guests), Riki J Yacht (13 m, up to 14 guests) and the Sea Dragon speedboat (12 m, up to 12 guests) — are day vessels, built for speed and deck space rather than sleeping cabins. For overnight programs they serve the daytime legs, and nights are arranged one of two ways:
Every quote states the exact vessel, capacity and inclusions in writing. No stock-photo surprises at the jetty.
| Component | Rate basis |
|---|---|
| Full-day private charter (day fleet) | USD 990.90–997.65 per boat, published — crew, fuel, snorkeling gear, lunch, tickets, insurance included |
| Overnight sailing vessel | Tailored per-night quote by vessel and season, confirmed in writing |
| Villa nights (villa-combination format) | Quoted with the charter as one USD package |
Multi-day pricing scales from the published day rate — you will always see the arithmetic, never a bundled mystery figure. Compare formats on our Bali yacht charter page or browse the full Bali cruise collection.
The single biggest reason to stay out overnight is arithmetic, not romance. Day boats from mainland Bali reach Manta Point from mid-morning and stack up through the afternoon. An overnight guest is in the water at first light — often sharing the site with nothing but the mantas — and has finished a second snorkeling session before the first day-trip flotilla arrives. The same logic applies to Kelingking’s viewpoint stairs and Diamond Beach: the golden photographs in your feed were almost all taken before 09:00 by people who slept on the other side of the strait. You also gain the sunset hours after the day fleet departs, when the anchorages fall quiet and the light over the Penida cliffs does its best work.
April through October is prime: settled seas, calm anchorages and dependable dawn conditions for the second-day manta session. November’s statistics are also kind to the strait. In the December–February wet season we keep itineraries inside the sheltered Penida–Lembongan triangle and hold flexible weather clauses. Page updated August 2026.
Many guests treat a Bali overnight as the rehearsal for the main event: a multi-day liveaboard among the islands of Komodo National Park. When you are ready to go further east, our sister brand handles it end-to-end — see private yacht charter Komodo by Komodo Luxury — and your Bali itinerary notes transfer with you, one guest file across both brands.
