Straight answers

Charter questions, answered by the desk

How much does it cost to charter a yacht in Indonesia?

Whole-boat crewed charters run from about USD 1,500 per day for a small catamaran to USD 100,000+ per week for expedition superyachts. The market's centre is USD 2,500–8,000 per day for crewed phinisi and motor yachts, plus a 25–35% APA for fuel, food and fees.

What is the daily rate for a phinisi charter?

Boutique phinisi start around USD 2,500 per day, premium 30–45 m vessels run USD 5,000–12,000, and flagship 50 m+ builds reach USD 10,000–25,000 whole-boat, crew and meals included.

Which yacht route should a first-timer choose in Indonesia?

A 5–7 day crewed loop in Komodo or the Bali–Gili corridor: short legs, settled dry-season weather and maximum reward per mile. Both stage from airports with daily connections.

What are APA fees on an Indonesian charter?

The Advance Provisioning Allowance — typically 25–35% of the base rate — is advanced before boarding and pays fuel, provisioning, park fees and incidentals at cost, with an itemised reconciliation and refund of any balance after the trip.

When are Indonesian charter rates lowest?

Shoulder and transition months — March–June and September–November outside holiday windows — combine calmer seas with softer demand. Peak July–August and festive weeks price highest across the fleet.

Does the charter price include food and drinks?

Meals are included on virtually all crewed overnight charters, cooked to your preference sheet. Alcohol varies: house selections may be included, otherwise it rides the APA or a corkage arrangement.
