The Fleet

Our portfolio represents the pinnacle of naval architecture and onboard luxury available in Indonesian waters. Each vessel is meticulously vetted for its performance, safety standards, and the calibre of its crew.

A private komodo super yacht charter with us means selecting from a fleet defined by excellence.

The Komodo Experience

Komodo National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a tapestry of stark, dramatic landscapes and astonishingly vibrant marine life. Aboard your private yacht, you gain privileged access to this prehistoric world, far from any hint of mass tourism. It is an experience of profound connection with nature, enjoyed in absolute privacy and serenity. This is the essence of a true luxury escape.

The journey begins with the legendary Komodo Dragon. Guided by expert rangers on the islands of Rinca or Komodo, you will witness these formidable creatures in their natural habitat—a truly humbling encounter with a living dinosaur. Above the water, the landscapes are equally mesmerising. We will arrange a private, guided trek to the summit of Padar Island at sunrise, revealing its iconic panorama of tri-coloured bays—a view that defines the archipelago’s raw beauty.

Below the waves, a world of kaleidoscopic colour awaits. Your yacht will anchor off Pantai Merah, the famous Pink Beach, where crushed red coral gives the sand its delicate hue. Snorkel or dive in the protected waters, then retreat to the yacht for a gourmet lunch on the aft deck. At Manta Point (Karang Makassar), you can swim alongside majestic manta rays as they glide through the nutrient-rich currents—a serene and unforgettable ballet of marine giants.

Unrivaled Service Onboard

Every meal is an event, from multi-course tasting menus paired with fine wines to casual barbecues on a deserted beach. Onboard amenities are curated for both adventure and rejuvenation. The water toy chest is extensive, featuring SeaBobs, jet skis, paddleboards, and state-of-the-art diving and fishing equipment. For moments of tranquility, indulge in a spa treatment from the onboard therapist, or greet the sunrise with a private yoga session on the sundeck.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best time of year for a Komodo super yacht charter?

The optimal season for chartering in Komodo is during the dry season, which runs from April to November. During these months, you can expect clear skies, calm seas, and excellent visibility for diving and snorkelling. The shoulder months of April, May, and October often provide the perfect balance of superb weather and fewer visiting vessels, offering an even greater sense of exclusivity. The peak months are July and August, which still offer fantastic conditions.

What is typically included in the charter fee?

The charter fee generally covers the exclusive use of the yacht and its crew, including their wages and food. Additional expenses are covered by the Advanced Provisioning Allowance (APA), typically 30% of the charter fee. The APA covers costs such as fuel, food and beverages for your party, port fees, national park permits, and any special requests. All APA expenditure is meticulously tracked, and any remaining funds are returned to you at the end of the charter.

How are safety and security managed onboard?

Safety is our highest priority. Every yacht in our fleet adheres to stringent international safety standards (such as SOLAS) and is captained by a certified, experienced master mariner. The crew are professionally trained in first aid, emergency procedures, and firefighting. Onboard equipment includes satellite phones, EPIRBs, and comprehensive medical kits. We ensure your voyage is not only luxurious but also exceptionally safe, allowing you to relax with complete peace of mind.

Can you accommodate specific dietary requirements?

Absolutely. Before your charter begins, we provide a detailed preference sheet for you to complete. This allows you to specify any and all dietary needs, allergies, and culinary preferences for your entire party. Our highly skilled private chefs are experienced in crafting exquisite menus tailored to diverse requirements, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, kosher, and halal, ensuring a delightful gastronomic experience for every guest.

Is Komodo National Park suitable for children?

Komodo is an exceptional destination for families with children, offering a unique blend of education and adventure. The wildlife encounters, from Komodo dragons to manta rays, are thrilling for all ages. The yachts are equipped with numerous water toys, and the crew are adept at engaging younger guests. Itineraries can be tailored to include child-friendly activities like calm-water snorkelling, beach picnics, and treasure hunts, creating a safe and unforgettable family adventure.

What level of diving experience is required?

Komodo’s dive sites range from gentle, shallow reefs perfect for beginners and snorkelers to challenging drift dives for advanced divers. Every charter yacht is equipped with a professional PADI-certified Dive Master or Instructor who will guide you to sites appropriate for your skill level. They can also conduct certification courses onboard. Whether you are taking your first breath underwater or are a seasoned diver, Komodo offers an unparalleled sub-aquatic experience.

How is internet connectivity and communication at sea?

While the remote nature of Komodo is part of its appeal, we understand the need to stay connected. Most of our superyachts are equipped with satellite internet (VSAT) systems, providing Wi-Fi access while at sea. Please note that connectivity can be intermittent and may not support high-bandwidth activities like streaming. This service allows for email and basic communication, ensuring you can connect when necessary while embracing the tranquility of being offshore.

What are the Komodo National Park fees and are they included?

Entry into the Komodo National Park requires permits and conservation fees, which are set by the Indonesian government. These fees contribute directly to the preservation of the park’s unique ecosystem and wildlife. These costs are not included in the base charter fee but will be itemised and handled through your Advanced Provisioning Allowance (APA). Our team will manage all necessary permits and payments on your behalf for a seamless experience.

Can we create a fully customised itinerary?

Customisation is the cornerstone of our service. The sample itineraries we provide are merely a starting point to inspire you. We encourage you to work with our charter specialists and the yacht’s captain to design a voyage that perfectly aligns with your interests. Whether you wish to focus on diving, wellness, cultural immersion, or simply finding the most secluded beach each day, your itinerary will be crafted exclusively for you.

What is the booking and payment process?

To secure your charter, a standard MYBA (The Worldwide Yachting Association) contract is signed, and a 50% deposit of the charter fee is required. The remaining 50%, plus the Advanced Provisioning Allowance (APA) and any applicable taxes, is typically due one month prior to embarkation. Our team will guide you through each step of this transparent and straightforward process, ensuring clarity and security for your booking.
