100ft+ vessels
A superyacht charter in Bali means a privately crewed vessel of 100 feet or more, departing from Benoa Harbour, the one port on the island with the draft, berthing, and clearance infrastructure to handle yachts of this class. Realistic pricing starts at USD 7,000–9,000 per day for the vessel and crew, before the provisioning allowance, with larger or newer yachts commanding considerably more.
Built around you
At this tier the charter is built around you: itinerary, galley, watersports inventory, and security arrangements are all specified before the yacht leaves the dock, not chosen from a menu on the day.
Bali Luxury Boat is an independent, English-language charter desk. For vessels at this tier we work primarily with Komodo Luxury, one of Bali’s leading charter operators, whose VVIP charter division handles the largest private vessels in our network and runs the Benoa–Komodo corridor more frequently than any other operator we book with.
We do not own the yachts, and we say so plainly: at this price level you should know exactly who operates the vessel you are boarding, and we will put you in direct contact with the operating captain before you commit a deposit.
What a 100ft+ charter includes
Captain, chief engineer, chef, stewards, deckhands and dive masters. Cabin counts typically run four to six, sleeping eight to twelve guests overnight. All vessels carry current Indonesian flag-state certification and commercial charter licenses.
The APA is a float, usually 25–35 percent of the charter fee, paid before departure and spent on your behalf: fuel, food and beverages to your specification, berthing, marine park fees, and incidentals. The captain accounts for every line item and returns anything unspent at the end of the charter.
Principals who travel with security details need arrangements that extend onto the water: vetted crew manifests, secure tender transfers, coordination with the harbourmaster at Benoa, and close-protection personnel licensed to operate in Indonesia.
Day and sunset charters work the waters between Benoa, Nusa Penida, and Nusa Lembongan. The signature multi-day route runs east through the Lombok Strait into Komodo National Park, typically five to ten nights.
When a requirement goes beyond what our own network has on the water — a specific build year, a particular naval architect, or helicopter capability — we extend the search through our yacht brokerage partner, which maintains relationships with private owners whose yachts charter selectively in Indonesian waters.
Realistic price guidance
| Vessel class | Typical day rate (USD) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 100–120 ft motor yacht | 7,000 – 9,000 | The most bookable superyacht class in Bali; strongest availability outside July–August |
| 120–150 ft motor or expedition yacht | 9,000 – 15,000 | Limited units; often positioned seasonally between Bali and Labuan Bajo |
| 150 ft+ and visiting foreign-flag yachts | from 15,000 | Subject to owner approval and Indonesian cruising formalities; longest lead time |
| Luxury phinisi over 100 ft | 6,000 – 12,000 | Traditional-build alternative with large deck space; slower cruising speeds |
Multi-day Komodo itineraries may carry a positioning or delivery fee if the yacht must relocate for your embarkation; we state this as its own line in the quote rather than folding it into the day rate.
How to book
Dates, party size, itinerary ideas, and any non-negotiables: cabin count, stabilisers, dive capability, security requirements.
We reply with two or three genuinely available vessels: full specifications, layout plans, recent photographs, and a complete cost picture including an APA estimate. No padding with yachts that are not actually free on your dates.
A video walkthrough with the crew, or a dockside inspection at Benoa where schedules allow, plus a direct introduction to the operating captain.
A signed charter agreement with the operator and a deposit, typically half the charter fee, holds the vessel. Balance and APA are settled before embarkation.
We take the provisioning brief at least two weeks out, complete any security scoping, and confirm boarding at Benoa or Labuan Bajo.
Good to know
For July–September and the December–January holidays, three to six months is realistic; the pool of 100ft+ vessels is small and the best ones are committed early. Outside peak months, four to six weeks is often enough. Positioning matters as much as season: a yacht already lying in Benoa can sometimes be chartered on short notice, while one in Labuan Bajo needs either relocation time or a fly-in embarkation.
No, and we are direct about that. Bali Luxury Boat is a curation and booking desk. We arrange charters through operators in our partner network, principally Komodo Luxury for this tier, and through vetted partner owners via our brokerage partner. You get one point of contact and a desk whose interest is matching you to the right vessel, not filling a particular hull.
Yes. The APA is your money, held and spent on your behalf. The captain keeps itemised accounts throughout the charter, and any unspent balance is returned to you at disembarkation or shortly after. If expenditure looks like it will exceed the float mid-charter (long motoring days burn fuel quickly), you are told before it happens, not invoiced afterwards.
Yes. It is the route this class of vessel is best used for. Allow five to ten nights for a round trip from Benoa, or shorten it by boarding in Labuan Bajo if the yacht is positioned there. National park fees, ranger arrangements, and diving permits are handled through the APA, and we build the itinerary around weather windows across the Lombok and Sape straits.
It is scoped to the party. At the light end: a vetted crew manifest, a security liaison on board, and controlled tender transfers. At the full end: close-protection officers, an escort tender, and coordinated port arrangements at each stop. All of it is arranged through Bali Premium Trip's licensed security partners, priced separately, and agreed before the charter contract is signed.
