Experience the Ultimate Private Sailing Tour in Komodo Island

A private Komodo yacht charter offers a truly bespoke experience. Unlike shared group tours, you'll have the entire yacht exclusively for you and your guests, with a dedicated crew catering to your every need. Enjoy the freedom to create your own itinerary — linger longer at a coral reef, relax on a secluded beach, or skip the crowds. Expect luxury amenities, personalized gourmet dining, and complete privacy, all designed for an unforgettable journey through Komodo National Park.

Komodo Luxury offers a handpicked fleet of luxury vessels, including elegant Phinisi schooners — Indonesia's traditional wooden yachts — and modern motor yachts with contemporary comfort. Options include premium vessels like El Aleph, Tanaka, and Amanika, each with spacious cabins, private lounges, and a full professional crew (captain, chef, guides). Whether you're a couple, family, or group, we'll recommend the perfect yacht for your preferred travel dates and style.

A typical private charter explores all iconic spots in Komodo National Park. Core destinations include: Komodo Island (see dragons in their natural habitat), Rinca Island, Padar Island (famous panoramic viewpoint with tri-colored beaches), Pink Beach for world-class snorkeling, Manta Point for swimming with manta rays, Kalong Island at sunset (flying fox bats), and secluded coves like Taka Makassar, Sebayur, or Kanawa Island for pristine coral reefs. The exact route is fully customizable based on your interests, diving preferences, and weather conditions.

Our private Komodo cruise packages are all-inclusive. You'll enjoy luxury accommodation onboard, gourmet meals prepared by a private chef, non-alcoholic beverages, snorkeling gear (and diving equipment if included), Komodo National Park entrance fees, guided island excursions, and full crew service. Extras like alcohol, diving courses, or curated experiences (e.g., private beach BBQs) can be added to personalize your trip even more.

Charter rates vary by vessel type, duration, and season. Entry-level luxury Phinisi yachts start from around USD 5,000–7,000 for a 3-day/2-night trip, while ultra-luxury yachts can exceed USD 40,000–70,000 for week-long expeditions. Pricing is per boat (not per person) and includes crew, meals, and most onboard services. Contact our team for tailored quotes and yacht recommendations that fit your group and budget.

Each private trip is fully customizable, but a typical 3D2N or 4D3N route covers Komodo's highlights:

• Day 1: Sail from Labuan Bajo, snorkel at Kelor Island, sunset at Kalong Island.
• Day 2: Hike Padar Island, visit Komodo Island with rangers, relax at Pink Beach.
• Day 3: Snorkel at Manta Point & Taka Makassar, unwind at Siaba or Kanawa Island.

Absolutely. A fully customizable itinerary is a key advantage of private charters. Before your trip, discuss your interests with our team—diving, snorkeling, beach time, hiking, photography, or village visits. Our captain and cruise director craft a route fitting your wishes and conditions. Even during the cruise, the schedule remains flexible: want extra time at a gorgeous beach or to skip a stop? It's your call. You can customize dining times, activities, and menus. The trip is bespoke—tailored day by day, whether you prefer relaxed lounging or action-packed adventure.

The best season is from April to October — calm seas, clear water, and sunny skies. June–September are peak months for ideal weather and manta sightings. Shoulder months like April–May and October are great for fewer crowds. The wet season (Nov–March) is quieter but some yachts reposition to Raja Ampat. We can help you choose the perfect window for your sailing adventure.

A luxury Phinisi yacht offers an unforgettable "floating resort" experience combining traditional Indonesian charm with 5-star comfort. By day: personalized adventures including snorkeling vibrant reefs, diving with mantas, beach hopping, or trekking to view Komodo dragons. By night: gourmet dining under the stars, sunset BBQs on deserted beaches, and retiring to opulent cabins. The crew provides pampering service—arranging surprise island picnics, mixing sunset cocktails, and catering to your every need. Guests describe it as "barefoot luxury with real adventure—privacy, comfort, and exhilaration combined."

Absolutely! Private charters are family-friendly and safe. Children love activities like beach picnics, snorkeling, kayaking, and seeing the Komodo dragons (guided by official rangers). Our yachts feature family cabins, and we provide child-sized life vests. We also tailor itineraries for families — shorter sail times, calm bays, and plenty of beach time.

No sailing experience needed — all charters are fully crewed. Our experienced captain handles navigation, while the crew ensures comfort and safety. Guests can simply relax or, if curious, learn sailing basics from the crew. Every trip begins with a safety briefing so you can enjoy the journey worry-free.

Yes — many guests begin their Komodo private charter from Bali. We arrange fast flights from Bali (DPS) to Labuan Bajo (LBJ) with VIP airport assistance, allowing you to reach your yacht by midday. It's a seamless option for weekend getaways or luxury escapes. Check also our Bali to Komodo private yacht packages for more details.

Komodo offers the perfect combination for luxury adventure: spectacular scenery with dramatic savannah-clad islands, pink-sand beaches, and crystal-clear waters. It's a world-class diving and snorkeling destination with coral reefs teeming with manta rays, sea turtles, and rare marine life. Many attractions are remote and best accessed by boat, making a private yacht ideal for exploring hidden coves and uninhabited islands at your own pace. The Komodo dragons are a unique draw—luxury charters allow early or late visits to avoid crowds. Komodo combines exotic wildlife, natural beauty, and exclusivity, all perfectly enjoyed via private charter.

You'll primarily find traditional Indonesian Phinisi yachts luxuriously outfitted to 5-star standards. These gorgeous wooden schooners (30-50m long) blend old-world charm with modern comfort—featuring sails and classic looks with air conditioning, fine interiors, and even onboard spas or yoga decks. Options range from intimate 2-3 cabin yachts for couples to large 8-10 cabin vessels like Prana by Atzaro (9 suites with yoga deck) hosting 16-20 guests. A few modern motor yachts also operate. Each vessel is unique, fully crewed, and equipped for premium service. We'll recommend the perfect match for your group.

A Phinisi offers timeless Indonesian charm — handcrafted wooden design, open decks, and traditional sails — perfect for a heritage-inspired voyage. A modern yacht offers sleek interiors, faster cruising, and high-end facilities like jacuzzis or private suites. Both are luxurious, and the choice depends on whether you prefer classic elegance or contemporary comfort.

Your safety is our top priority. All yachts are equipped with GPS, life vests, first-aid kits, and radio systems. Our captains are trained for local waters and weather conditions. Komodo dragon visits are always guided by certified park rangers, ensuring safe wildlife encounters throughout the trip.

Yes. Our private chefs can prepare Halal, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or kid-friendly meals. We can also arrange private beach BBQs, celebration cakes, or themed dinners — just let our concierge know your preferences before departure.

Definitely. Diving is one of Komodo's biggest highlights. We can include certified dive masters, professional equipment, and custom itineraries to top dive sites like Manta Point, Batu Bolong, and Siaba Besar. Non-divers can snorkel or relax on deck while others dive — it's the best of both worlds.

Safety is our top priority. Our yachts have experienced captains and crew with decades of local sailing expertise, following strict safety protocols. Boats are equipped with GPS, VHF radio, satellite communications, life vests, life rafts, first aid kits, and often an onboard medic or dive master trained in first aid. Komodo's sailing conditions during recommended seasons are generally calm, though strong currents exist—our crew navigates these safely. For medical needs: yachts have basic medical facilities and first aid. Serious emergencies are evacuated to Labuan Bajo (with a new hospital) or Bali. Incidents are rare. Travel insurance covering emergency evacuation is recommended.

Our private charters are flexible — from 2-person honeymoons to 30-guest celebrations. Smaller yachts suit couples or families, while larger Phinisi vessels fit big groups or corporate events. There's no minimum requirement; even two guests can charter an entire yacht for complete privacy.

For peak months (June–August, December), we recommend booking 3–6 months ahead to secure your preferred yacht. Luxury yachts often sell out early, but we also accommodate last-minute charters when available. Early booking allows time for personalized menus, special requests, and seamless arrangements.

Keep luggage light and casual with resort wear and outdoor activity clothing. Essentials: lightweight breathable clothing (T-shirts, shorts, swimwear, rash guard), hat, sunglasses, reef-safe sunscreen, sandals or deck shoes. For island treks: light hiking shoes or sturdy sneakers, long pants for protection, modest shirt for villages. Bring a light jacket for breezy evenings. Personal toiletries and medications. Most yachts provide toiletries, towels, and diving/snorkeling gear. Photography enthusiasts should bring cameras (including underwater cameras). Use soft-sided luggage—easier to stow in cabins than hard suitcases.

Many luxury yachts offer satellite internet or Wi-Fi, but expect it to be spotty in this remote area. Most guests appreciate the digital detox—a chance to truly unwind. Some vessels have satellite Wi-Fi decent for emails and messaging (sometimes extra charge), but not for streaming. Cell signal is intermittent; you might get 3G/4G near inhabited areas. Plan to unplug and be pleasantly surprised if you get signal. The yacht has communications equipment for safety and can reach authorities anytime. Many find the off-grid experience refreshing.

3 days/2 nights is the minimum for key highlights (Padar, Komodo, Pink Beach), but it's somewhat packed. 4 days/3 nights is ideal for a relaxed pace with all major attractions. 5-7 days allows exploring remote corners (northern Komodo, southern park, nearby island chains) with downtime for enjoying the yacht. For combining Komodo with Flores or Raja Ampat, trips can be 10+ days. Most travelers find 4-5 days strikes the perfect balance—covering all major treks and dives with time for sunsets and relaxation. It's your private trip with no fixed schedule!
