How to Hire a Yacht in Bali

Hiring a yacht in Bali is one of those experiences that stays with you long after the day is over. The coastline is stunning, the water is clear, and there’s something about being out on the ocean that makes time slow down. If you’ve been thinking about a private day on the water, here’s how the Bali yacht hire process works from start to finish.

Choosing the Right Yacht

The first step is choosing the vessel that suits your group and plans. Bali Charter Boat offers everything from sleek, modern yachts for smaller groups to larger catamarans ideal for parties and family gatherings. Some guests prefer a relaxed day cruising along the coastline, while others want to explore the islands of Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Penida for snorkelling or diving.

If you’re not sure what type of yacht is best, our 24-hour team can quickly recommend options that fit your group size, destination, and budget.

Planning the Day

Every charter can be tailored to what you’d like to do. Some people enjoy snorkelling with turtles, others prefer to drop anchor at a quiet beach and swim in crystal-clear water. A few popular options include:

  • Exploring Nusa Penida’s coral reefs and hidden bays
  • Stopping for lunch at a beach club in Lembongan or enjoying a meal prepared on board
  • Trying your hand at fishing or water sports
  • Cruising back to Bali in time for a sunset drink on deck

Our team can help plan the route, suggest the best spots for the time of year, and make sure the day runs smoothly from start to finish.

The Booking Process

Booking with Bali Charter Boat is straightforward. You can contact our team anytime via WhatsApp or email to discuss your plans. Just share a few basic details:

  • Your preferred date
  • How many passengers will be joining
  • Your ideal destination or type of trip
  • An idea of your budget

We’ll respond quickly with available yachts and pricing details.

To confirm a booking, we’ll issue an invoice for a 50% deposit. The remaining balance can be paid by credit card or cash before departure on the day of your trip.

We’ll also need your accommodation address for the pick-up and a passenger list including each guest’s full name and nationality. This information is required for harbour clearance, which must be processed in advance with the harbour master.

Once those details are in place, your day is locked in and ready to go.

On the Day

Our team will handle everything, from pick-up at your villa or hotel to preparing the yacht before you arrive. The crew will welcome you on board, give a short safety briefing, and then it’s time to head out onto the water.

All you need to bring is your swimwear, sunscreen, and a good mood. The crew takes care of the rest — serving drinks, organising snorkelling gear, and making sure everyone is comfortable throughout the day.
