01 — The Broker
We don’t own a fleet. We find the right one.
- Vetted third-party boats
- One contact, start to finish
- No markup for using us
We match you to well-run yachts and catamarans from Bali’s main marinas, then handle the booking, itinerary and on-the-day logistics. We earn from the operators — never by inflating your price.
How the broker model works
02 — Destinations
Where a day on the water takes you
Most charters leave Benoa, Serangan or Sanur for the islands southeast of Bali, with time to swim, snorkel and lunch on board.
- 45–90 Min Nusa Penida
- Calm water Lembongan & Ceningan
- Overnight Gili Islands
- Close to shore Uluwatu sunset
May to September usually brings the flattest crossings.

06 — Our Promise
Straight answers, no fleet to defend
We work across many operators, so we have no reason to push the wrong boat. If a smaller speedboat suits your half day better, we’ll say so.
What we won’t do: promise calm seas or manta sightings, hide which operator you sail with, or invent reviews.

07 — Questions
Before you book
All questionsWhat does a Bali yacht charter cost?
A shared sunset cruise seat runs around USD 450. Private half-day charters start near USD 1,500 and full-day private yachts or catamarans reach about USD 3,500. Indicative as of June 2026.
What is included in a private charter?
Usually the boat, captain and crew, fuel for the route, life jackets, water and a light lunch. Snorkel gear is often included; premium drinks and watersports are add-ons. Every quote lists exactly what is covered.
How do booking and payment work?
We send matched options with photos and rates, then hold the boat with a deposit. The balance is due before or on the charter day, with terms stated in writing first.
What happens if the weather turns?
If the captain judges a crossing unsafe, the charter is rescheduled or moved to a sheltered route. Exact terms depend on the operator and are given before you pay.
When is the best time to charter?
The dry season, roughly April to October, brings calmer seas. July–August is busiest. Mornings are usually calmer than afternoons for the Penida and Gili crossings.
Will I get seasick?
Some guests do on the open crossing to Nusa Penida. Catamarans and larger yachts ride more steadily — ask us to prioritise a stable boat and a morning departure.
