Chartering a boat in Bali ranges from a few hundred thousand rupiah for a shared speedboat seat to tens of millions for a private luxury yacht for the day. The honest answer to "what does it cost" is: it depends on the boat, the hours and the group — so here is how the pricing actually works in 2026, with real IDR ranges.
The Main Price Tiers
Most charters fall into a handful of bands. These are typical all-in private-charter prices, not per-person shared tickets.
- Speedboat transfers & short trips: from IDR 2–5 million for a half-day private speedboat to the Nusa islands or along the coast. See speedboat transfers.
- Sunset cruise (2–3 hours): IDR 4–9 million for a private boat with crew and drinks at golden hour. See sunset cruises.
- Sailing catamaran (full day): IDR 12–28 million depending on size and guest numbers. See catamaran charter.
- Luxury motor yacht (full day): IDR 25–80 million and up for a crewed yacht with cabins, water toys and catering. See private day charters.
- Overnight & multi-day: priced per night on top of the day rate — ask for a custom quote. See overnight charters.
What Drives the Price
Four things move a quote more than anything else: the boat (size, age and whether it's a speedboat, sailing cat or motor yacht), the duration (half-day vs full-day vs overnight), the group size, and the season — peak months and big dates cost more and book out early. Extras like catering, a dedicated host, water toys, fishing gear and hotel transfers are usually added on top, and fuel for longer crossings to Nusa Penida is a real line item.
