Chartering your own boat is the most comfortable way to see Komodo, and from Labuan Bajo you can charter anything from a speedboat for a day trip to a private phinisi for a multi-day liveaboard. A private multi-day phinisi starts around Rp 28 million for the whole trip, with luxury vessels going much higher. Here is what you can charter, roughly what it costs, and how to book.
What you can charter for Komodo
- Private phinisi (multi-day liveaboard). A traditional wooden phinisi you take over for the whole trip, sleeping on board. Best for 2D1N to 3D2N around Komodo, Padar, and the pink beaches.
- Speedboat (day trip). Faster and cheaper for a single day hitting the main islands, then back to Labuan Bajo in the evening.
Because you charter the whole boat, the trip runs on your schedule and your group, not a shared fixed departure.
Price tiers
Charter prices are per trip for the whole boat, and they depend on the vessel, your group size, and how many days you go. As a guide:
| Charter | From (per trip) |
|---|---|
| Entry multi-day phinisi | around Rp 28,000,000 |
| Luxury phinisi / yacht | up to around Rp 110,000,000 |
Speedboat day-trip charters are cheaper than the multi-day phinisi range above. Message us with your dates and group size and we will quote the right vessel.
