The Entire Vessel Is Yours
Private Charter Komodo — Your Boat, Your Rules
Charter an entire liveaboard exclusively for your group. Choose your dates, customize your itinerary, select your preferred vessel, and sail Komodo National Park in complete privacy and comfort.
Why Choose a Private Liveaboard Charter?
A private charter gives you the ultimate freedom to explore Komodo National Park exactly the way you want. Unlike open trips with fixed schedules and shared spaces, a private charter puts you in control. You choose when to depart, where to anchor, how long to stay at each location, and what activities to prioritize. The entire vessel — with its crew, chef, and facilities — is exclusively yours.
Private charters are ideal for families with children who need flexible schedules, groups of friends celebrating special occasions, couples seeking a romantic getaway, corporate teams on retreat, photographers who need specific timing for optimal light, and divers who want to spend extended time at the best underwater sites.
Our private charter fleet ranges from intimate 3-cabin boats perfect for couples and small families to grand 10-cabin vessels accommodating groups of 20 or more. Every private charter includes a dedicated trip coordinator who works with you before departure to design a bespoke itinerary, arrange special meals, coordinate activities, and handle all logistics.
Small Group (2-8 guests)
Intimate vessels with 2-4 cabins. Perfect for couples, families, or small friend groups. Starting from $1,500 per night for the entire boat. Cozy atmosphere with personalized attention from a dedicated crew.
Medium Group (8-16 guests)
Mid-size phinisi and motor yachts with 4-8 cabins. Ideal for extended families, corporate retreats, and friend groups. Starting from $3,000 per night. Spacious common areas and comprehensive amenities.
Large Group (16-30 guests)
Grand vessels with 8-14 cabins for large celebrations, corporate events, or multi-family holidays. Starting from $5,000 per night. Multiple deck levels, entertainment systems, and professional event coordination available.
Customize Your Private Charter Experience
The beauty of a private charter is complete customization. Our team will work with you to design every aspect of your voyage. Choose a standard highlight itinerary or create a completely bespoke route including remote islands rarely visited by other boats. Add scuba diving excursions at world-class sites like Batu Bolong and Crystal Rock. Arrange private beach dinners with tables set on the sand under a canopy of stars.
Special occasions receive extra attention — we have coordinated marriage proposals on Padar Island at sunset, birthday celebrations with custom cakes and decorations, anniversary dinners under the stars, and corporate team-building programs with island challenges and group activities. Our events team handles everything from floral arrangements to professional photography.
For extended voyages, we can design multi-destination charters combining Komodo with Flores cultural experiences, Sumba textile village visits, or Raja Ampat diving expeditions. Multi-week charters through the Indonesian archipelago represent the ultimate maritime adventure and are available on select vessels in our fleet.
