PRIVATE CHARTER · PHINISI & BOUTIQUE BOATS

The Whole Boat, and the Whole Clock

A private charter mostly buys you time — leaving thirty minutes before the fleet changes Padar completely. USD 800 for a speedboat day, or from USD 5,300 a night for a phinisi with its own crew.

What You Can Charter

Ranges are for the whole boat, not per person.

Day charter

Speedboat

USD 800 for the boat, for the day. No cabins, the whole day-trip loop on your own schedule — the cheapest way to leave before the fleet.

Traditional wooden hull, ensuite cabins, crew and chef aboard. The format most people picture when they say Komodo cruise.

Groups

Whole-Boat Buyout

A scheduled cruise taken entirely by one group. Often cheaper than a bare charter for eight or more.

Private or Join-In

The same route on two very different days.

A private charter gives you

  • Your own departure time, which is the real luxury
  • A route built around your group, not a fixed schedule
  • Cabins, crew and chef to yourselves
  • Room for dives, drone work or simply staying longer

A join-in tour gives you

  • A far lower price per person
  • Fixed departure days and a fixed route
  • Shared cabins, and shared decisions about timing
  • Other travellers, which suits some trips very well
