Private Charter vs Shared Komodo Trip: Which Should You Book?

The per-person math, side by side — so you can see which format actually costs less per person for your group size.

Rates from our published 2026 rate cards

Short answer

Book a shared trip if you are 1–4 people on a budget (3D2N open trips run USD 300–850 per person). Book a private whole-boat charter once your group reaches 6+ or privacy matters — whole-boat rates start at USD 3,250/night (Deluxe), and the per-person math often beats shared cabins for groups of eight or more.

The honest math

The same trip priced both ways. Shared trips are billed per person; a private charter is billed per boat per night — which is why the two lines cross over as your group grows.
