ABOUT KOMODO BOAT CHARTER

01

What is a Komodo boat charter (also called Komodo boat rental or bajo rental)?

A Komodo boat charter, also called a Komodo boat rental or bajo rental, is the rental of a Phinisi sailing yacht, motor yacht, or liveaboard from Labuan Bajo for private or shared cruising through Komodo National Park. Komodo Boat Charter has operated since 2015 with a fleet of vessels, from USD 350 per person (open/shared trip 3D2N) to USD 27,000 per night flagship (Lamima), visiting Padar Island, Komodo Island, Pink Beach, and Manta Point.

02

What is a private Komodo boat charter?

A private Komodo boat charter (Komodo private boat charter) reserves an entire vessel exclusively for your group — no shared cabins, fully customizable itinerary, and your own crew. Komodo Boat Charter offers private charters from USD 5,300 per night (standard Phinisi) to USD 27,000 per night (Lamima 65m, 7 cabins). Private charters suit families, honeymoons, corporate groups, and photography expeditions.

03

Is a Komodo boat charter good for small groups?

Yes, Komodo Boat Charter specializes in small-group voyages, with vessels accommodating 2–14 guests as a "small group" tier. Smaller groups receive more personalized crew attention, flexible itinerary changes, and access to anchorages larger vessels cannot reach. For 2–10 guests, Magia II is the popular choice.

04

Are there affordable Komodo boat charters for families?

Yes. Komodo Boat Charter offers family-friendly options across all budget tiers: open trip 3D2N at USD 350–550 per person (per-person savings for families of 4+), standard private Phinisi at USD 5,300 per voyages (whole boat for up to 12 guests), and dedicated Family Trip and Family Boat Charter packages. Children aged 5+ are recommended, with mandatory life jackets and safety briefings.

05

What is the difference between a private charter and an open / share trip Komodo?

A private Komodo boat charter is exclusive to your group with a fully customizable itinerary, while an open trip (share trip) combines smaller groups on a fixed 3D2N itinerary at a lower per-person rate. Komodo Boat Charter open/shared trips start at USD 350 per person; private charters start at USD 5,300 per night for the whole boat. Open trips suit solo travelers and couples; private charters suit families, events, and groups.
