What Counts as a Superyacht Charter in Bali?

In practice, the Bali fleet divides into three tiers above the 30-metre line. Each tier changes what your day on the water looks like — guest capacity, crew depth, tender size and the toys carried on board.

How Much Does a Bali Superyacht Charter Cost?

Two pricing structures apply: day charter (typically 8–10 hours, returning to Benoa) and multi-day charter (liveaboard style, priced per 24 hours). The figures below are indicative planning ranges as of 2026, not quotes — final pricing depends on the specific vessel, season, guest count and itinerary, and is confirmed in writing before you commit.

Tenders, Toys and Crew: What Is Actually On Board?

At this size, the vessel is a platform, not just transport. Typical inventories across the Benoa-based fleet include: Tenders — one or two RIBs for beach landings at Nusa Penida, Lembongan and the Gilis, where dock access is limited. Water toys — jet skis, SeaBobs, paddleboards, wakeboards, inflatable platforms; exact inventory varies per yacht and is confirmed on the spec sheet we send you. Dive and snorkel support — compressors and equipment on select vessels, with licensed dive guides arranged separately for sites such as Manta Point and Crystal Bay. Crew — captain, engineer, deckhands, stewardess service and a dedicated chef; galley menus are planned around your preferences before boarding.

How Do You Book a Superyacht Charter With Us?

1. Brief us on WhatsApp. Dates, guest count, day or multi-day, and any occasion — birthday, proposal, corporate program. 2. Receive matched options. We shortlist 2–3 vessels in your tier with spec sheets, photos and transparent rate breakdowns including APA where applicable. 3. Confirm and secure. A deposit fixes the vessel and dates; we coordinate crew briefing, menu planning and itinerary routing. 4. Clearance and boarding. Guest manifests and local formalities are handled through licensed agents — requirements change, so we confirm current rules at booking rather than promising fixed procedures. Multi-day clients most often run a Benoa–Nusa Penida–Gili Islands–west Lombok loop over three to five nights; our 3-day private boat trip itinerary shows how that routing works at smaller scale

The three tiers

What changes above thirty metres

Each tier changes guest capacity, crew depth, tender size and the toys carried. At this size the vessel is a platform, not transport.

Entry · 30–35 m

Eight to ten overnight, up to twenty day-use. Five to seven crew. Day charters, sunset events, short Penida runs.

Mid-tier · 35–45 m

Ten to twelve overnight, seven to ten crew. The tier that suits Bali–Lombok–Gili multi-day itineraries.

Flagship · 45 m+

Twelve overnight — the charter limit — with ten or more crew. Corporate weeks, milestone celebrations, extended cruising.

The APA is a deposit of 25–35% of the charter fee here — higher than some markets, because the fuel distances between Bali, Lombok and the Gilis are longer. The captain accounts for every expense, and whatever is not spent comes back.
