Full vessel for your party. Your dates, your itinerary, your pace. Ideal for families, honeymoons, friend groups, and special occasions. From $2,800/night for the entire boat.
A private liveaboard is the entire vessel reserved for your party alone — no shared cabins, no fixed manifest, no fixed dates, no compromises. You choose the departure date, the length of the voyage, the islands you call at, and the rhythm of each day. Want to skip a reef and spend a slow morning anchored off Padar? Add a second dragon trek? Push on to the remote southern dive sites most boats never reach? On a private trip the itinerary is a starting point, not a script — it bends to your group in real time.
That flexibility is why private trips work so well for the moments that matter most: honeymoons, family holidays spanning three generations, friend groups of eight to fourteen, milestone birthdays and quiet corporate retreats. Brief our chef weeks ahead with dietary needs or a celebration menu, tell us your dive certifications and depth preferences, flag the photography you care about — the boat-day is built around the answers. Children get kid-safe snorkel zones and shorter treks; honeymooners get the master cabin and a candle-lit dinner on a deserted deck.
Pricing runs from $2,800/night for a 4-cabin standard phinisi sleeping eight, up to $7,000/night for an 8-cabin luxury phinisi sleeping sixteen, with the per-person cost falling sharply as the group grows. Everything is included: full-board meals, snorkel and dive gear, a certified crew, all national park and ranger fees, and complimentary airport transfer.
The luxury of a private trip is not marble bathrooms — it is the absence of other people’s schedules. No stranger’s alarm at 5am, no waiting for a full tender, no compromise on how long you linger at a reef you love. If the kids are asleep, the boat waits. If the light over Padar is perfect, the captain holds the anchor. If someone wants one more dive, there is one more dive. The whole vessel — every cabin, every deck, the chef, the dive guides, the crew — exists for the duration of the trip to do exactly what your group feels like doing.
That is what makes private charters the format of choice for the trips people remember forever: a honeymoon with sunset dinners served on an empty deck, a multi-generational family holiday where grandparents and grandchildren each get their own pace, a group of old friends with their own music playing as the sun goes down behind the islands. We pre-plan the structure so nothing is left to chance, then step back so the days feel effortless and entirely yours.
