Private Komodo Yacht Charters: Phinisi, Motor Yachts, Catamarans & Superyachts
Departing daily from Labuan Bajo, we arrange fully-crewed private yacht charters across Komodo National Park, adapted to your group size, comfort expectations and preferred style of cruising.
Core vessel classes we broker
- Traditional phinisi – wooden Indonesian sailing yachts, from comfortable 3–6 cabin boats to ultra-luxury, design-led vessels in the USD 15,000+ per night tier.
- Motor yachts – planing or semi-displacement yachts, ideal for shorter stays and quick repositioning between Komodo highlights.
- Catamarans – power and sail cats for guests prioritising stability and deck space.
- Superyachts – premium vessels with larger crew, toys and higher service ratio for confidential VIP and VVIP charters.
- Speedboats – used either as stand-alone 1-day charters or fast tenders attached to larger mothership charters.
Indicative pricing bands (charter only, excluding park fees)
- 1-day speedboat charter (Komodo highlights): from about USD 400 for the whole boat for roughly 4–8 passengers, subject to vessel, season and inclusions. Ideal for Padar, Pink Beach and manta point day trips.
- 2D1N private phinisi: typically around USD 200–350 per person when a group of 8 shares the boat. The band varies with comfort class (Deluxe, VIP, VVIP), cabin configuration and season.
- Motor yacht per day: often in the region of USD 1,500–3,000 per day for the vessel, equating to about USD 250–500 per person for 6–8 guests.
- Superyacht per day: from around USD 5,000–12,000 per day, or approximately USD 830–2,000 per person for a typical 6–12 guest charter.
- Ultra-luxury phinisi: the top-tier design and service vessels sit from around USD 15,000+ per night, subject to yacht, season and routing.
All figures above are indicative bands; your final confirmed quote is issued in writing on WhatsApp or email after we agree dates, route, guest count, service level and any special requests.

Komodo Liveaboard Yachts: Private Cruises & Diving Expeditions
Komodo is a liveaboard destination by design. Distances between Rinca, Padar, Central Komodo and the northern reefs are best covered overnight, allowing you to wake up directly on site for the first dive or hike.
Who private liveaboards are for
- Families wanting the boat to themselves, child-friendly crew and flexible timing at each stop.
- Serious divers targeting sites across North and South Komodo with a dedicated dive guide and skiff support.
- Mixed-interest groups combining trekking with dragons, manta snorkelling, sandbanks and photography.
- Celebrations – engagements, anniversaries, closed-group parties with custom menus and bar setups.
Most private liveaboard phinisi charters range from 3D2N to 7D6N within Komodo National Park. Longer routings can connect Komodo to Sumbawa or Lombok.
For planning detail, including suggested packing and seasonality, see Planning your Komodo liveaboard trip 2027, North vs South Komodo diving 2027 and our practical list in Labuan Bajo liveaboard packing & planning.
FAQ: How far in advance should I book a liveaboard in Komodo?
For June–September and Christmas / New Year, we advise signing a contract and deposit 6–12 months ahead for the top-tier phinisi and superyachts, and at least 3–6 months even for mid-range options. Last-minute charters can sometimes be arranged, but choice is often limited to specific dates or routes. Our article When to book Komodo charter 2027 outlines typical lead times and high-season constraints.
Raja Ampat, Lombok & Bali Crossings from Komodo
Beyond Komodo, we broker repositioning voyages and expedition routes that connect Indonesia’s eastern archipelagos. These are typically private charters timed around seasonal yacht movements.
Key routes we regularly arrange
- Bali to Komodo crossings – 7–10 day itineraries via Lombok, Moyo, Satonda and Sumbawa bays, often on phinisi or motor yachts.
- Komodo to Raja Ampat & Banda Sea – multi-week or staged legs linking Komodo, the Banda Islands and onward to Raja Ampat during repositioning months.
- Komodo–Lombok–Bali arcs – tailored one-way journeys linking charter and villa stays.
Indicative pricing for crossings
- Bali to Komodo crossing (7–10 days): typically in the region of USD 7,000–15,000 for the full charter, subject to vessel class, length and season.
- Private superyachts by the week: generally start from about USD 50,000 per week, depending heavily on yacht size, onboard inventory and cruising plan.
These voyages require careful routing and fuel planning. To understand options across seasons, see Komodo–Raja Ampat dual-season charter, our broader Explorer yacht Indonesia guide 2027, and one-way repositioning opportunities listed under Indonesia yacht repositioning charter and Indonesia yacht empty leg crossings 2027.
FAQ: Can I combine Raja Ampat and Komodo on one trip?
Yes, but it usually requires either a multi-week itinerary or a combination of a yacht segment with a flight. Some phinisi and superyachts reposition between Komodo and Raja Ampat with itineraries spanning 12–14+ nights. We will advise which vessels are reasonably suited to both regions during your travel window and where it is more efficient to split the holiday into two separate charters.
How Our Komodo Yacht Brokerage Process Works
As a brokerage under Juara Holding Group, we protect you from guesswork and inconsistent standards. Our team is Labuan Bajo–based year-round, inspecting vessels and following crew performance across seasons.
Step-by-step
- 1. Consultation – by WhatsApp or email, we define dates, group size, budget band, accommodation standards (Deluxe, VIP, VVIP) and key priorities (diving, photography, family, privacy, celebrations).
- 2. Shortlist and pricing – we present a small, curated list of yacht classes with indicative pricing bands. At this stage we clarify what is included (fuel assumptions, food, basic equipment) versus variable costs (park fees, alcohol, special toys, optional helicopter transfers).
- 3. Itinerary design – we map a realistic route based on actual steaming times, tides and seasonal conditions, drawing on insights from Best time to visit Komodo by yacht 2027 and Manta calendar Komodo & Raja Ampat 2027.
- 4. Contract & deposit – once you select a vessel, we secure dates with a brokerage contract and deposit, outlining payment schedule, cancellation terms and permitted variations to route.
- 5. Pre-trip planning – we coordinate menus, cabin allocations, dive gear needs, and optional add-ons such as Komodo yacht helicopter transfer, private jet Labuan Bajo 2027, or villa combinations like the Komodo yacht & villa package.
- 6. On-the-ground support – our Labuan Bajo team meets you on arrival, manages Komodo park fees for yacht guests current at the time of writing and reconfirmed before departure, and provides 24/7 contact during the charter.
For those deciding between direct owner bookings and using a specialist, we outline the risk and service differences at Yacht broker vs direct booking 2027.
FAQ: Are Komodo National Park fees included in the charter price?
Not always. Some vessels present indicative park fee estimates; others keep them separate, to be settled closer to departure because regulations and tariffs are periodically revised. We follow Komodo park fees yacht guests 2027, treat those figures as current at the time of writing, and then reconfirm the exact amounts and payment method for your dates before you sail.
Luxury, Ultra-Luxury & Special Dates: New Year and VVIP Charters
For high-profile guests and special events, we broker a limited portfolio of ultra-luxury phinisi and superyachts that prioritise privacy, cuisine and service levels comparable to top-tier villas and international five-star hotels.
Ultra-luxury phinisi & superyacht tiers
- Ultra-luxury phinisi: custom-built vessels with fine-dining kitchens, spa-quality wellness rooms, and elevated crew-to-guest ratios. Pricing sits in the approximate band of USD 15,000+ per night, depending on yacht and season.
- Private superyachts (weekly): starting from around USD 50,000 per week, these are suited to family groups, owner’s-party charters and corporate or incentive voyages requiring multiple tenders, toys and structured service.
For a more detailed discussion of this tier, see our dedicated page Ultra-luxury phinisi charter and the cost structures set out in APA yacht charter Indonesia explained.
New Year, festive and peak-period planning
Christmas and New Year weeks in Komodo and Raja Ampat are typically contracted at premium rates, especially for larger phinisi and superyachts. We advise starting discussions 12–18 months out for the top vessels. For a detailed forecast and sample itineraries, refer to New Year yacht charter Komodo and our seasonal guide New Year 2028 Komodo yacht guide.
FAQ: Can you assist with chefs, menus and special diets?
Yes. Most vessels we work with can accommodate vegetarian, vegan, halal, pescatarian, gluten-free and allergy-sensitive menus with advance notice. For ultra-luxury charters, we can arrange bespoke menu planning, premium imports (subject to Indonesian regulations) and curated wine lists. Our article Komodo yacht charter dining 2027 gives a realistic overview of what to expect on each tier.
Who We Are the Right Broker For
We are best suited to guests who want professional curation rather than trial-and-error booking. As an expert phinisi charter broker Indonesia, we intentionally limit the number of vessels we propose, focusing on those we actively track for safety, maintenance and crew consistency.
