Tour Overview
A private charter reserves the whole vessel, crew and sailing plan for one group. Departure date, route and pace are agreed with the operator, so the trip can be shaped around families, couples, photographers, divers or a celebration rather than a fixed open-trip timetable.
The eligible charter fleet below is updated from KomodoInsider listing data. Use the filters to compare 105 currently matched vessels, with whole-boat rates starting from $2,010. Final pricing depends on vessel, cabin mix, season, duration, route, guest count and requested services; confirm the written quotation before paying.
Most private charters depart from Labuan Bajo and can be adapted across 3D2N, 4D3N and longer formats. The five-day outline is a planning example, not a promise that every vessel follows the same order. Komodo National Park entry is separate unless the operator states otherwise. Visitor details and the visit plan should be registered through SiOra before departure, with cashless payment completed in advance.

Boats On This Route
105 boats in our directory run this route. 69 sell cabins on a shared departure, $180 to $12,065 per person. 36 are whole-boat charter only, $2,125 to $100,000 for the boat. On a cabin booking you pay per berth and share the vessel. On a whole-boat charter you pay for the boat, so a couple sailing alone pays the full rate. Prices are the published entry-level rate and move with season and cabin grade. Komodo National Park entrance and ranger fees are excluded from every figure.

Itinerary
Embarkation and north-island warm-up
Board after the safety briefing, settle into cabins, then begin with a short hike or snorkel depending on timing. Finish near Kalong for sunset and flying foxes.
Padar and southern beaches
Early landing for the Padar viewpoint, followed by beach and snorkel time. A ranger-led dragon walk is scheduled according to the registered visit plan.
Manta channel and reefs
Use the private schedule to wait for suitable tide and current windows. Snorkeling or diving is only undertaken when conditions and guide qualifications are appropriate.
Flexible exploration day
Choose a quieter bay, repeat a preferred area or add a properly supported dive day. The captain may revise the order for weather, currents and park access.
Final swim and return
A final morning activity is followed by the return sail and disembarkation in Labuan Bajo at the confirmed pier.
What's Included
- Komodo National Park feeNot included
- What to bring
Bring the passport or Indonesian ID used for the SiOra registration, soft luggage, reef-safe sun protection, hat, swimwear, secure sandals or shoes for dry trails, a light rain layer, reusable water bottle and any personal medication. Add motion-sickness medicine if advised by your doctor. Divers should bring certification cards and logbook details. Complete the visitor registration before the trip; government guidance is to arrange access by H-1.
- Policy detail
Charter cancellation, payment milestones and date-change rules are set by the selected operator and must be written into the quotation. Komodo National Park access issued through SiOra is a separate government transaction; refund or rescheduling is not universal and must be confirmed before issuance. Weather, harbour-master directions, park closures and safety conditions may require route changes without changing the vessel charter itself.
- Notes
The signed quotation is the controlling document. Confirm the vessel, cabins, guest limit, sailing dates, route, meals, transfers, equipment, fuel allowance, taxes and payment schedule before paying. Komodo National Park entry is normally separate and must be arranged through SiOra using each visitor’s identity and registered visit plan. Payment for park access is cashless and should be completed before departure. For the current official fee schedule, see “What the Park Costs” on this page.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a private boat?
Yes. The charter reserves the selected vessel for your group only. Crew, cabins and maximum guest capacity vary by boat.
Can we choose the route?
Usually, within the vessel’s operating limits, park access, weather, currents and harbour-master directions. The agreed route should be written into the quotation.
How long should we charter?
Three days covers the headline circuit at a faster pace. Four to five days allows more flexible timing, quieter anchorages and additional snorkeling or diving where supported.
Are park fees included?
Not automatically. Check the quotation, then see “What the Park Costs” for the current official fee schedule and arrange SiOra registration before departure.
Can the operator arrange SiOra?
Many operators assist, while direct self-service remains available through the Komodo Visitor Center or KP3 process. Confirm responsibility and complete it before departure.
Can we dive from any charter vessel?
No. Diving requires a vessel, crew, guides and equipment suitable for dive operations. Confirm certifications, emergency oxygen and the exact dive package in writing.
Is the listed price final?
No. The fleet module shows current comparison data. Final charter price depends on vessel, dates, duration, route, cabins, guest count and inclusions.
What happens if weather changes the route?
The captain may change or omit stops for safety, weather, currents, closures or official instructions. Payment and cancellation consequences follow the signed operator terms.

Who This Suits
Best for groups that want privacy, flexible pacing and control over cabin allocation. Families should confirm railings, child-size life jackets and supervision arrangements. Older travelers or guests with limited mobility should ask about stairs, tender boarding and shore landings. Divers must confirm that the selected vessel is licensed and equipped for the requested dive plan; a general leisure charter does not automatically include diving operations.
