Komodo National Park

Explore breathtaking islands, pristine beaches, and world-class diving spots in the heart of Komodo National Park.

Premier snorkeling reef in Komodo National Park — vibrant coral gardens and sea turtle sightings mere steps from the anchor. Ideal for first dives in the park.

Stop 02 · Sunset Dive Site

Batu Bolong

One of the world's top-rated dive sites — a seamount teeming with schooling fish, reef sharks, and Napoleon wrasse. Best experienced at slack tide from a private liveaboard.

Stop 03 · Ranger Trek

Komodo Island

A ranger-led encounter with the world's largest lizard in its native hunting ground. Lunch aboard follows the trek.

Year-round manta ray cleaning station — oceanic mantas glide within arm's reach. The definitive bucket-list dive of any Komodo yacht charter.

Stop 05 · Panoramic Hike

A lush hilltop island with pristine coral and resident sea turtles. Arrive early morning before day boats — your private yacht gives you first access to this untouched reef.

Stop 10 · Turtle Sanctuary

Siaba Island

Protected seagrass meadows host green sea turtles year-round — a gentle snorkel among some of the highest turtle concentrations in the national park.

Stop 11 · Wildlife Encounter

Rinca Island

The second Komodo dragon island — wilder and less visited than its famous neighbor. Crocodiles, wild buffalos, and dense dragon populations await on this ranger-guided trail.

Stop 12 · Flying Fox Spectacle

Kalong Island

Every dusk, tens of thousands of giant flying foxes take flight across the mangroves in a living dusk display. One of Southeast Asia's most

Stop 13 · Hidden Reef

Manjarite Island

Which charter is right for you?

Two guests, maximum privacy. A 3–4 cabin VVIP yacht from USD 5,900 per night — the whole boat is yours, so unused cabins simply stay empty. This is also the format behind our whole-boat private charter with no shared cabins.
A family of six to twelve. A VIP or Deluxe phinisi at USD 3,250–5,900 per night gives every family member an en-suite cabin plus a shaded deck for children between snorkel stops.
A honeymoon or anniversary. Small-cabin VVIP yachts with a single master suite — the same vessels used for our handcrafted phinisi sailing under full canvas.
A group of twenty or more. Mutiara Cruise (28 guests) or Ocean Angel (up to 44 guests) — the per-head cost of a whole-boat charter falls sharply once the group passes fifteen.
Diving-led itineraries. Longer 5D4N and 7D6N routes with Batu Bolong, Castle Rock and Manta Point are built as multi-day liveaboard diving trips rather than sightseeing charters.
One day only. A private speedboat from USD 680 per day covers Padar, Pink Beach and Komodo Island between sunrise and sunset.

Komodo yacht charter rates — frequently asked questions

How much is a Komodo yacht charter per night in 2026 and 2027?

A Komodo yacht charter with Komodo Luxury is priced per night for the whole boat: from USD 3,250 per night for a Deluxe phinisi up to USD 27,000 per night for an ultra-luxury superyacht, with the most-requested VVIP phinisi class starting at USD 5,900 per night. Rates hold across 2026 and are open for 2027 bookings; NYE and the July–August peak carry a premium.

Is the Komodo yacht charter price per person or per boat?

Per boat. Every rate published by Komodo Luxury on this page is a whole-vessel rate per night — the boat is yours alone, with no shared cabins and no minimum passenger count. A USD 5,900 per night phinisi costs USD 5,900 per night whether you sail with 2 guests or 10.

What does a 3D2N private Komodo yacht charter cost in total?

A 3-day / 2-night charter is 2 nights x the nightly whole-boat rate. Worked from published rates: from USD 6,500 total for a Deluxe phinisi (USD 3,250 x 2 nights), from USD 11,800 for a VVIP phinisi such as Magia II (USD 5,900 x 2), and from USD 40,000 for a superyacht such as Prana (USD 20,000 x 2), before National Park fees and VAT.

Are Komodo National Park fees and VAT included in the charter rate?

No. National Park entrance, ranger, conservation and diving permits are quoted separately and are paid per person per day at rates set by the park authority — Komodo Luxury arranges the permits and itemises them in your quotation. Indonesian VAT (11–12%) is additional on the vessels marked "+ VAT" above; all other published rates are VAT-inclusive.

Which Komodo yachts can take more than 20 guests?

From the managed fleet: Mutiara Cruise (10 cabins, 28 guests, 47 m), Arfisyana 2 (7 cabins, 22 guests), Lamborajo III (8 cabins, 22 guests) and Ocean Angel (16 cabins, up to 44 guests, 38 m). Larger phinisi are usually quoted between USD 4,700 and USD 8,250 per night for the whole boat.

What is the most private Komodo yacht charter for two people?

The small-cabin VVIP yachts are the most private: Si Datu Bua (3 cabins, 6 guests, 40.2 m), Mischief (3 cabins, 6 guests, 30 m) and The Oracle (3 cabins, 6 guests, 35 m). Because charters are whole-boat, a couple can also take a 4-cabin yacht such as Magia II from USD 5,900 per night and simply leave the other cabins empty.

How far ahead should I book a Komodo yacht charter for 2027?

For the July–August 2027 peak and the 2026/2027 New Year window, the superyachts and the well-known phinisi are typically committed 9–12 months ahead. April–June and September–November 2027 usually remain open 3–4 months out. Dates are confirmed on deposit, with the balance due 30 days before departure.

What is the cheapest way to charter a whole yacht in Komodo?

A Deluxe phinisi from USD 3,250 per night is the lowest whole-boat overnight rate in the fleet, and it sleeps 15–24 guests — which is why per-head cost falls sharply with group size. For a single day on the water without an overnight stay, a private speedboat charter starts from USD 680 per day.

Manta ray sightings peak from April to June at Manta Point. July and August are the busiest months, while April–May and September–October offer fewer crowds with equally excellent sailing conditions.

September and October are equally favorable for guests prioritizing tranquility. Avoid January and February if possible — peak rainy season with rougher seas, though some Komodo Luxury charters still operate with weather-adjusted routing.

Recommended durations for a Komodo yacht charter: 3 days / 2 nights is the minimum to cover the National Park highlights (Padar, Pink Beach, Komodo, Manta Point); 5 days / 4 nights is the recommended sweet spot — adds Rinca Island and Kanawa Island, ideal for honeymoons and families; 7 days / 6 nights covers the full loop plus remote bays in northern Komodo. Komodo Luxury customizes any duration in between.

Yes — Komodo yacht charters operate year-round, including the rainy season (November–March). Expect occasional afternoon showers, slightly rougher seas, and lower underwater visibility, but mornings often remain clear and manta rays remain active. Komodo Luxury adjusts routing during the wet season to favor sheltered anchorages and offers reduced rates outside the December–January holiday window.

For peak July–August Komodo yacht charters, Komodo Luxury recommends booking 6 months in advance. Top-tier yachts and preferred dates fill quickly because peak season coincides with European summer holidays and major international travel windows. Booking 6+ months ahead also allows lead time for visa processing, international flights, and customized itinerary planning.

The yacht charter itself requires no additional visa since the vessel stays within Indonesian waters. Passports must be valid for at least 6 months beyond entry date. Komodo Luxury provides current visa guidance during booking confirmation.

Komodo yacht charter departures from Labuan Bajo start at Komodo International Airport (LBJ) with direct flights from Bali (Denpasar/DPS, 1.5 hours) and Jakarta (CGK, 2 hours). Komodo Luxury includes complimentary airport-to-harbor transfers within Labuan Bajo mainland (no charge for hotels or harbor meeting points). Boarding takes place at the main Labuan Bajo harbor. Arriving one day early is recommended to account for flight delays.
