Flores to Lombok Yacht Charter: What to Expect
Komodo Yacht Charters, part of Juara Holding Group and operating Labuan Bajo departures since 2015, arranges fully crewed private crossings from Flores (Labuan Bajo) to Lombok on phinisi, motor yachts, catamarans and superyachts.

- Departure port: Labuan Bajo, Flores (Komodo gateway)
- Arrival port: Lombok (usually Senggigi, Medana, or a suitable marina/anchorage agreed in advance)
- Typical duration: 3–7 nights depending on vessel speed and how much time you want inside Komodo National Park
- Vessel types: Classic and ultra-luxury phinisi, modern motor yachts, power catamarans, larger superyachts

Vessel Options and Indicative Pricing Bands
Pricing depends on vessel class, charter length, season and group size. Below are indicative ranges only; exact quotes are provided case-by-case by our specialists on WhatsApp after we confirm your dates, headcount and preferred itinerary.
Private Phinisi & Liveaboard Yachts
Phinisi yachts are ideal for relaxed, scenic Flores–Lombok crossings with traditional Indonesian character, generous deck space and multiple ensuite cabins.
- 2D1N private phinisi in Komodo: typically about USD 200–350 per person when 8 guests share the boat (shorter sampler trip, not usually enough time for Flores–Lombok, but a useful benchmark for comfort and service level).
- Ultra-luxury phinisi tier: from around USD 15,000+ per night for the whole yacht on a fully private basis, suitable for extended Flores–Lombok–Komodo itineraries with top-tier service, chef and toys.
Explore what defines this standard of service on our ultra-luxury phinisi charter page.
Motor Yachts & Power Catamarans
Motor yachts and power cats suit guests who prefer faster crossings and modern interiors.
- Motor yacht, per day: generally USD 1,500–3,000 for the full vessel, which often works out to about USD 250–500 per person depending on group size.
- Used for Flores–Lombok one-way trips of 3–4 nights, or combined with a 2–3 night Komodo loop before heading west.
Superyachts & Extended Programs
For VVIP groups, multi-generational families, or corporate trips, we broker larger superyachts with full-time professional crews, water toys and concierge support.
- Superyacht, per day: usually around USD 5,000–12,000 for the whole yacht, or roughly USD 830–2,000 per person depending on guest count.
- Private superyacht by the week: from around USD 50,000 for a 7-night program, subject to vessel and season.
As a benchmark for longer repositioning journeys, Bali–Komodo crossings over 7–10 days typically span USD 7,000–15,000 depending on vessel class. Flores–Lombok charters sit within a comparable structure on a proportional basis, and are quoted precisely once your plan is defined.

How the Booking Process Works
Komodo Yacht Charters acts as your dedicated charter specialist across the Indonesian archipelago, including repositioning routes such as Flores to Lombok yacht charter, Bali–Komodo and seasonal transfers to Raja Ampat and Triton Bay.
Step 1: Outline Your Plan
Share the basics on WhatsApp or email:
- Preferred dates and flexibility (at least ±2 days is helpful for securing the right vessel).
- Number of guests, including children and any mobility considerations.
- Rough budget band and preferred vessel type (phinisi, motor yacht, catamaran, superyacht).
- Whether you want a direct crossing or a Komodo-focused itinerary that finishes in Lombok.
Step 2: Vessel Shortlist and Itinerary Draft
Our team will match you with available yachts and send a concise comparison: cabin layout, deck spaces, toys, photos and indicative pricing. For some clients, we may also discuss hybrid products such as a Komodo yacht + villa package if you plan to split time between yacht and land.
Step 3: Final Quote and Confirmation
Once you choose a yacht, we confirm:
- Exact day-to-day route, subject to weather and safety.
- What is included in the charter fee (e.g., full board, crew, fuel allowances inside the agreed itinerary).
- Any extras such as park fees, diving packages, or optional helicopter transfers, which can be discussed using our Komodo yacht helicopter transfer guidance and the broader Labuan Bajo helicopter transfer guide.
All final numbers are issued in a formal quote and reconfirmed on WhatsApp before any payment is requested.
Komodo National Park, Fees & Regulations
Most Flores–Lombok itineraries start by spending 1–3 days inside Komodo National Park. Park fees, mooring rules and visitor regulations are updated from time to time; we treat them as current at the time of writing and always reconfirm them before your departure.
For deeper planning detail and what to budget for, review our dedicated guide on Komodo park fees for yacht guests. We also advise on seasonal patterns and manta encounters via the Komodo & Raja Ampat manta calendar, which is relevant if you are timing your trip around specific marine life.
Beyond Flores–Lombok: Wider Indonesian Routes
Many guests combine a Flores to Lombok yacht charter with other Indonesian segments over several seasons. Komodo Yacht Charters routinely arranges:
- Labuan Bajo loops focused entirely inside Komodo National Park.
- Raja Ampat and Triton Bay expeditions in their respective seasons, as outlined in the Raja Ampat charter season guide and Triton Bay yacht charter overview.
- Repositioning crossings such as Bali–Komodo or Flores–Raja Ampat, where pricing follows similar indicative bands to those shown above and is adjusted to distance and duration.
If you are assessing whether to work directly with an operator or via an intermediary, our Komodo yacht charter broker note and broker vs direct booking comparison explain how we structure these services transparently.
FAQ: Flores to Lombok Yacht Charter
How many days do I need for a Flores to Lombok yacht charter?
Plan on at least 3 nights for an express crossing that includes one full day in Komodo. If you want a more relaxed liveaboard with daily snorkeling/diving and quiet anchorages along Sumbawa, 5–7 nights is more realistic. We adjust the program to your time window and preferred pace.
Can I start in Lombok and finish in Flores instead?
Yes, most itineraries are reversible, subject to yacht scheduling. Availability depends heavily on where the vessel is positioned before and after your dates, so early discussion gives you more options. For long-range planning, consult our forward-looking guide when to book Komodo charters.
What budget should I expect for a private group?
As a practical starting point for a small group on a mid-range motor yacht, many guests end up in a budget band aligned with USD 1,500–3,000 per day for the vessel, or about USD 250–500 per person depending on group size and itinerary length. For larger or ultra-luxury yachts, including superyachts and ultra-luxury phinisi, plan within the higher ranges outlined above. Exact figures are confirmed individually on WhatsApp after we discuss your dates and preferences.
Is a Flores–Lombok yacht charter weather dependent?
Yes. The crossing is subject to seasonal trade winds and sea conditions. We will advise on best windows and may recommend adjusting dates, direction of travel, or overnight anchorages for safety and comfort. Our article on the best time to visit Komodo by yacht provides a useful seasonal overview that also informs Flores–Lombok planning.
How do I get to Labuan Bajo and away from Lombok?
Labuan Bajo is served by multiple daily flights from Bali and selected Indonesian cities. Lombok has direct flights to Bali and Jakarta and onward connections regionally. For higher-end itineraries, we advise on private jet options into Labuan Bajo (see private jet to Labuan Bajo) and coordinate ground/boat transfers to and from your yacht.
