Plan Your VoyageUpdated: May 2026
Every charter we operate is private full-boat — the entire vessel and crew exclusively for your group. No shared cabins. No mixed-group itineraries. No fixed routes. You decide where the boat goes, when, and for how long. From a 4-day Komodo escape to a 21-day Banda Sea grand expedition, the principle is the same: it’s your boat, your trip, your rules.
Operated by Komodo Luxury. Private charters from $3,500/night.
You book the entire vessel — every cabin, the entire deck, the dining areas, the spa space, the dive deck. No other guests, no shared spaces, no rotating bookings. If the boat sleeps 12 and your group is 4, the other 8 cabins simply remain unused (and the price stays the same — full-boat pricing).
Standard sample itineraries exist (4-day Komodo, 7-day Bali to Komodo, 14-day Raja Ampat) but every booking customizes the route, anchorages, daily activities, and dining around your specific group. Want to skip the Padar sunrise hike? Skipped. Want to spend three nights at one bay because you fell in love with it? Easy. Want to hire a marine biologist guest lecturer for the week? We arrange it.
Your crew of 6-14 professionals is dedicated to your group only. Captain plans routes around your sailing preferences. Chef plans menus around your dietary requirements (we capture detailed preferences pre-charter). Concierge tracks your sleep schedule, drink preferences, dive interests, and physical comfort levels and adjusts service accordingly.
Phinisis access remote anchorages no commercial cruise ship or day-trip operator can reach. Private bays at Padar Island, hidden coves at Misool, isolated sandbars at Wayag — places where your group is genuinely the only humans in the area.
| Tier | Vessel | Guests | Per Night USD |
|---|---|---|---|

All-inclusive (vessel, crew, fuel, food, water sports, linens, concierge). Per-person rate drops dramatically as group size grows. A premium phinisi for 10 guests at $7,000/night = $700/guest/night including everything except alcohol and park fees.
Smaller 1-2 cabin honeymoon-specialty phinisis from $3,000/night. Spa, candlelit dinners, photography package. See honeymoon charters.
Premium 4-7 cabin vessels for 8-16 guests. Children’s gear, kids menus, optional certified nannies, age-appropriate shore activities. See family charters.
6-12 guest groups typically book Premium Luxury tier. Common reason: 50th/60th birthday celebrations, friend reunions every 3-5 years, bachelor/ette parties.
Executive offsites, board retreats, family office gatherings. Premium to flagship vessels with meeting setup on upper deck, satellite connectivity, branded experiences. See corporate charters.
Underwater and topside photography groups. Dedicated camera rinse stations, optimal anchorages timed for golden-hour light, optional professional photographer guide.
Certified diver groups (typically 6-12 guests, all Advanced Open Water+). Charters built around specific dive site sequences. See diving charters.
Cruise ships carry 500-4,000 passengers on fixed routes. Resort stays anchor you to one location. Private phinisi charters give you the destination flexibility of a cruise with the privacy of a resort villa — except the resort moves to a new bay every day.
For groups of 8+, per-person pricing on private phinisis is competitive with luxury cruise ship cabins ($300-$1,500/guest/night) — and dramatically better in privacy, customization, and authenticity.
Operated by Komodo Luxury, Indonesia’s most established luxury yacht platform with 1,200+ private charters since 2018.
