What Is a Bali Komodo Private Charter?
You hire the entire phinisi boat — captain, crew, guide, and all facilities — exclusively for your group. No strangers on board. You set the departure date, choose your route within Komodo National Park, decide when to snorkel, dive, or linger at a beautiful anchorage. Most charters are 3–7 days, departing from Labuan Bajo after your 45-minute flight from Bali.
All private charters use phinisi vessels from the Komodo Luxury fleet — traditional wooden sailing ships purpose-built for cruising the Komodo archipelago, with en-suite cabins, sun deck, dining area, and onboard chef.
Private Charter Inclusions
- Exclusive use of the entire phinisi vessel
- Private en-suite air-conditioned cabins for every guest
- Full board — chef-prepared Indonesian and international cuisine
- All Komodo National Park permits, ranger and guide fees
- Snorkeling and basic fishing equipment
- Kayak or paddleboard (fleet dependent)
- Crew: captain, first mate, chef, and deckhand
Optional add-ons: dive equipment rental, dive guide, airport transfers, pre/post-charter hotel in Labuan Bajo.
