Komodo Yacht Charters: Private Phinisi & Luxury Yachts in Labuan Bajo

Komodo Yacht Charters, part of Juara Holding Group, has operated private yacht departures from Labuan Bajo since 2015. We specialise in fully crewed phinisi schooners, modern motor yachts, catamarans, superyachts and liveaboard expeditions across Komodo National Park, Raja Ampat and Lombok crossings.

Every charter is privately reserved for your group only: no scheduled departures, no mixed cabins. From 1‑day speedboat trips to 2‑week ultra‑luxury phinisi charters, each itinerary is structured around your diving level, preferred anchorages and season. For a deeper planning overview, see our guides to planning your Komodo liveaboard and first‑time Komodo yacht charters.

Cost breakdown for a 2 week phinisi charter in Komodo

For guests searching specifically for a clear cost breakdown for a 2 week phinisi charter, the starting point is to benchmark against our published multi‑day bands. While most public examples describe shorter 2D1N trips, the same logic scales to 14 nights: you pay per night for the whole yacht, then divide by your group size.

Indicative phinisi pricing, based on existing bands:

  • Typical shared‑group reference (2D1N phinisi): about USD 200‑350 per person per night when a group of 8 guests shares the boat. Longer 14‑night charters often secure more favourable nightly terms, but always within this indicative range after adjusting for yacht tier, route and season.
  • Ultra‑luxury phinisi tier: from USD 15,000+ per night for VVIP yachts with large suites, fine‑dining galley, full‑time cruise director and expedition‑grade tenders. Over 14 nights this becomes a significant six‑figure voyage; we always provide a precise, insured quote by WhatsApp.
  • Bali to Komodo crossings (7‑10 days): USD 7,000‑15,000 for the full yacht, often used as a cost reference for longer repositioning cruises that include Komodo, Lombok or Sumbawa en‑route.

For a realistic planning range for a 2‑week phinisi charter, most guests fall into these bands:

  • Comfort / Deluxe phinisi (8‑12 guests): broadly comparable on a per‑night basis to the 2D1N band of ~USD 200‑350 per person per night, multiplied by 14 nights, with adjustments for yacht size, cabin layout, high‑season premiums and exact route.
  • Ultra‑luxury phinisi (VVIP): you should budget based on the ultra‑luxury benchmark of USD 15,000+ per night, with precise nightly rates confirmed according to the yacht selected and any special routing such as Raja Ampat or Banda Sea extensions.

Every quote is issued in writing, fully itemised and insured. We never finalise pricing in a web article; your exact 14‑night cost is set only after we confirm yacht tier, guest count, dates, routing and optional extras via WhatsApp 628113823875.

What typically is and is not included in a 14‑night phinisi charter

In Komodo and Raja Ampat, a private phinisi charter is typically sold as a near all‑inclusive liveaboard experience. Inclusions vary by vessel tier (Deluxe, VIP, VVIP), but a 2‑week charter commonly wraps the following into your nightly rate:

  • Included on most phinisi charters:
    • Private use of the whole yacht, cabins made up daily
    • Crew, captain and licensed local guides, with English‑speaking cruise director on higher tiers
    • Full‑board meals: breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks (menu style depends on yacht tier)
    • Soft drinks, mineral water, basic tea/coffee
    • Snorkelling equipment and standard tenders for beach drops and site access
    • Basic fuel allocation for a standard Komodo loop (Labuan Bajo–Padar–Pink Beach–Manta Point–Rinca/Komodo island and return)
    • Standard housekeeping and linen changes for a 14‑night charter
  • Often charged in addition:
    • Komodo National Park entry, trekking and conservation fees, which are current at the time of writing and always reconfirmed before departure. See our latest Komodo Park fee guide for yacht guests.
    • Alcohol and premium coffees, unless explicitly stated as included for higher tiers
    • Additional fuel for extended routes, night cruising or long crossings (Lombok, Raja Ampat, Banda)
    • Dive equipment rental, nitrox and private dive guides beyond standard ratios
    • Special tenders, chase boats, jet skis or dive ribs on explorer‑style yachts
    • Private transfers, helicopter arrangements and any heli arrivals or scenic flights
    • Service charge and discretionary crew gratuities

To prevent surprises on a 2‑week itinerary, we issue a line‑by‑line estimate for all expected extras, then ring‑fence a contingency for fuel and park‑fee changes. For larger groups or complex crossings, we may structure the quote using an APA‑style approach as outlined in APA yacht charter in Indonesia explained.

Yacht classes: phinisi, motor yachts, catamarans and superyachts

Komodo Yacht Charters works across multiple yacht classes, each suited to a different style of 2‑week voyage:

  • Traditional phinisi (Deluxe, VIP and VVIP): Wooden Indonesian schooners ideal for immersive liveaboard cruising, families, photographers and divers who want spacious decks and character interiors. For ultra‑luxury options see our ultra‑luxury phinisi charter overview.
  • Motor yachts: For guests prioritising speed and comfort on shorter itineraries. Our published band is USD 1,500‑3,000 per day for the whole yacht, or about USD 250‑500 per person depending on group size and layout.
  • Catamarans: Highly efficient liveaboard platforms with wide beam and shallow draft, suited to families with younger children and snorkellers wanting stable access to lagoons.
  • Superyachts: For private, high‑security travel and top‑tier service. Our reference band is USD 5,000‑12,000 per day (about USD 830‑2,000 per person at full occupancy), or from USD 50,000 per week for larger vessels; see Komodo superyacht weekly costs for structure.
  • Speedboats: Used for day trips out of Labuan Bajo. Our reference is from USD 400 for the whole boat (roughly 4‑8 passengers) on typical Komodo highlights itineraries. See best Komodo day trip from Labuan Bajo for options.

For a continuous 14‑night stay, most guests select a phinisi or large motor yacht. Superyachts and ultra‑luxury phinisi are more common for shorter high‑impact weeks, New Year and VIP events; for seasonal detail see New Year yacht charter Komodo and our high‑season premium guide.

Raja Ampat, Lombok and long‑range crossings

A 2‑week phinisi charter often extends beyond Komodo to include repositioning segments or dual‑season cruising. Our team manages long passages and empty‑leg opportunities across eastern Indonesia:

Because fuel is a major line item on long crossings, our written quotes separate base charter rate from projected fuel surcharges and, where appropriate, structure a controlled APA to keep your final cost transparent.

How booking works: from first quote to boarding in Labuan Bajo

Komodo Yacht Charters acts as your dedicated charter specialist, matching you to vetted vessels and crews that align with your budget and style. The process is straightforward and fully documented:

  • 1. Clarify your brief. Over WhatsApp or email we gather dates, group size, cabin needs, diving level, preferred regions (north vs south Komodo, potential Raja Ampat or Lombok legs) and any mobility or dietary notes. For seasonal nuance see best time to visit Komodo by yacht.
  • 2. Shortlist yacht classes. We propose 2‑4 options across phinisi tiers (Deluxe, VIP, VVIP) or, if requested, motor yachts/catamarans, giving you nightly bands, sample menus and deck plans. For a transparent comparison of going via broker versus direct, see yacht broker vs direct booking.
  • 3. Detailed cost breakdown. You receive an itemised quote for the 14‑night charter: base yacht cost, provisional park fees, included/excluded line items and payment terms. For weekly band context, refer to Komodo yacht charter weekly rates.
  • 4. Contract & deposit. Once you select your yacht and itinerary, we issue a charter agreement. A deposit secures your dates; balance timing depends on vessel and season. All rates remain indicative until they are locked in writing.
  • 5. Pre‑departure planning. We finalise your route, activities and menus, advise on packing using resources like our Labuan Bajo packing guide, and reconfirm current Komodo National Park regulations and fees.
  • 6. Arrival & embarkation. Our team or the local ground operator meets you in Labuan Bajo, coordinates any hotel or villa‑yacht combinations, and brings you to the harbour to board your phinisi.

FAQ: 2 week phinisi charter costs and planning

How far in advance should I book a 14‑night phinisi charter?
For peak dates (June–September, Christmas, New Year) many of the best phinisi yachts are placed 9‑18 months ahead. Our guide on when to book a Komodo charter explains how early‑bird rates and high‑season premiums interact for longer voyages.

How do park fees affect the cost of a 2‑week itinerary?
Komodo National Park applies per‑guest and per‑day fees that differ for snorkelling, diving and trekking, and they are current at the time of writing and always reconfirmed before departure. Over 14 nights they add up, so we model your planned route and activity mix, then include a realistic park‑fee envelope in your written quote.

Is a 2 week phinisi charter better value than two separate 1‑week trips?
On a per‑night basis, it often is. Once a yacht is staffed and fuelled, additional nights tend to be more cost‑efficient than starting a fresh charter, especially for groups of 8‑12 sharing. You also save on additional positioning, transfers and logistics. We demonstrate this explicitly in your cost breakdown.

Can I combine New Year or peak‑date celebrations with a 14‑night voyage?
Yes, but expect pricing to lean toward the upper end of our indicative bands, especially for ultra‑luxury phinisi or superyachts. We recommend anchoring your quote around our New Year Komodo yacht charter guidance and, for future seasons, the New Year 2028 Komodo yacht guide.
