Private day cruise boat in Bali

Charters by day shape

The block is the unit.

Four hours or eight, whole boat. Every other page on this site prices against this basis, which is what makes two quotes comparable.

Full-day block

You charter the whole boat for a block of hours, not a seat for a route.

  • Half day runs four to five hours.
  • Full day runs eight to ten.
  • The block runs cast-off to dock-back.
  • Overtime past it is charged by the hour.

What a block buys

Pick the hours, then the water

The number of hours decides how far the boat can reasonably go and back. Everything else follows from that.

Charter vessel under way in open water

The 4-hour block

Lembongan and back, or a sunset run. One crossing, two or three anchorages, afternoon still yours.

Charter yacht anchored below island cliffs

The 8-hour block

Nusa Penida, Lembongan and Ceningan in one run. Five anchorages, lunch aboard, dock back late afternoon.

Phinisi lying at anchor at dusk

The 24-hour block

Cabins required and the anchorage is the captain's call. Priced and planned on its own page.

Both are whole-boat charters at the same crew and fuel basis. The difference is hours, and hours are what decide the reachable water.

Name the date

Send the date, the block you want and the party size. The desk replies with clock times and what sits outside the figure.
