A day trip to the Gilis is a long, brilliant day; the overnight turns it into a small voyage. When the day boats head home, the islands go quiet — and you're still there, with the same private yacht and crew waiting for day two. The format is simple: the 10-hour Gili charter, plus a second day at half price. Sleeping arrangements and meals depend on the yacht and your group, so we confirm them plainly on WhatsApp when you book.
How the Overnight Works
Day 1 — the 10-hour Gili charter
Out from Serangan across open water, turtle and reef stops on the way, and the afternoon at the Gili Islands.
The night — at the Gilis
The yacht stays at the islands overnight. Where you sleep and how meals work depend on the yacht and your group — we confirm the set-up on WhatsApp before you pay a deposit.
Day 2 — at 50% off
The second day costs half the 10-hour rate: a slow morning, more snorkelling, then the cruise back to Bali at your pace.
Full crew, both days
Skipper and crew handle the crossings, the anchoring and the gear on both days — you never run the boat yourself.
Why Two Days Beat One
The Gilis are the furthest point we sail, and on a single day most of your time goes to the crossings. With the overnight you see the islands empty out in the evening and have the reefs to yourself in the morning — the water is clearest and calmest before the day boats arrive. It is the closest thing to a liveaboard feeling our fleet offers, priced as one day plus half.
Gili Overnight Prices
Whole-yacht prices in USD — day one is the 10-hour Gili rate, day two is 50% off. The quote you approve on WhatsApp is the price you pay; every rate is on the pricing page.
| Yacht | Guests | Day 1 (10 h Gili) | Day 2 (−50%) | Two days total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Accura 49 | up to 12 | $3,600 | +$1,800 | $5,400 |
| Accura 48 | up to 12 | $3,800 | +$1,900 | $5,700 |
| Accura 55 — flagship | up to 17 | $5,000 | +$2,500 | $7,500 |
Only these three yachts run the Gili route; the smaller Accura 39 stays on the coastal and Nusa Penida routes. Just want the single long day? The 10-hour Gili charter on its own starts at $3,600. The flagship with its two flybridges is on the luxury yacht charter page.
