Bali Private Speedboat Charter
A private speedboat charter in Bali gives your group the whole boat — a twin-engine 12-metre vessel with a sun deck and bean bags — from IDR 8,000,000 (around USD 500) per boat for a full day. Departing Sanur, Serangan or Benoa, you reach Nusa Penida in 30 to 45 minutes.

This is a whole-boat private charter, not a shared fast-boat transfer ticket. You book the vessel, the crew and the day; nobody else is on board, and the price is fixed per boat rather than per person.
What do you get on a private speedboat charter?
You get speed and reach. A speedboat trades the shaded cabin of a day-cruiser for open-air pace, which is why it stays the go-to vessel for families and small groups who want to fit Manta Bay, Crystal Bay and Kelingking Beach into one day.
Sanur Water Activities (Heaven’s Corner) lists its 12-metre speedboat from IDR 8,000,000, fitted with a Bluetooth speaker and a sun deck with bean bags. Its 13-metre semi-yacht starts from IDR 9,000,000 and adds an air-conditioned cabin, karaoke and a flat TV — the comfort-first alternative when shade and quiet matter more than raw speed.
Here is how the two vessels compare.
| Spec | 12m speedboat | 13m semi-yacht / day-cruiser |
|---|---|---|
| Length | around 12 metres | around 13 metres |
| Capacity | up to about 15 guests | up to about 15 guests |
| Engines | twin outboard | inboard |
| Cabin | open sun deck | air-conditioned cabin |
| On-board comfort | Bluetooth speaker, bean bags | karaoke, flat TV |
| Sanur to Nusa Penida | 30 to 45 minutes | slightly longer |
| Best for | speed, reach, island-hopping | shade, families, comfort |
If your priority is squeezing more snorkel stops and land sights into a single day, the twin-engine speedboat wins. If you have young children, older relatives or midday sun to escape, the semi-yacht’s air-con cabin earns its extra IDR 1,000,000.
How much does a Bali private speedboat charter cost?
Across the Bali market, a full private day runs roughly IDR 8,000,000 to IDR 44,500,000 (about USD 500 to USD 2,500), set by vessel size, comfort and route. Small speedboats sit at the entry end; large catamarans and 35-seat monohulls sit at the top.
| Charter option | Vessel | Duration | Per-boat price (as of 2026) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sanur speedboat day trip | 12m speedboat, up to ~15 | Full day | from IDR 8,000,000 (~USD 500) |
| Semi-yacht day trip | 13m semi-yacht, air-con cabin | Full day | from IDR 9,000,000 (~USD 560) |
| Nusa Penida monohull (Parahu SW3) | Monohull, 15 pax | Full day | IDR 11,900,000 |
| Private Nusa Penida yacht (Bluuu Tours) | Private yacht | Full day | from IDR 13,000,000 (~USD 750) |
| Accura 39 sunset / coastal cruise | Accura 39 | 4 hours | from USD 750 |
| Accura 39 full-day Nusa Penida | Accura 39 | 8 hours | from USD 950 |
| Large group top-tier (Parahu JA) | Monohull, up to 35 pax | Full day | up to IDR 44,500,000 (~USD 2,500) |
Those figures come from published operator lists: Sanur Water Activities for the 12m and 13m boats, Parahu.com for its per-boat Nusa Penida pricelist (Monohull SW3 for 15 guests at IDR 11,900,000, up to the 35-seat JA at IDR 44,500,000), Bluuu Tours for its private Penida yacht tours from about USD 750, and Blue Marlin Bali for the Accura 39 at USD 750 for a four-hour cruise or USD 950 for an eight-hour Penida day.
No operator we track publishes seasonal price tables — rates are quoted as fixed “start from” figures. Hotel pickup is usually a small add-on; Sanur Water Activities, for example, charges an extra IDR 250,000 per car for a 07:00 pickup.
Where can a Bali speedboat take you in a day?
Plenty, once the crossing is only 30 to 45 minutes each way. A single private day typically covers one of these routes.
- Nusa Penida snorkel run — swim with mantas at Manta Point / Manta Bay, then snorkel Crystal Bay and Toyapakeh.
- Penida land-and-sea combo — snorkel in the morning, then Kelingking Beach, Broken Beach and Angel Billabong by car in the afternoon.
- Nusa Lembongan island-hop — the Yellow Bridge and the mangroves, paired with calm-water snorkel stops.
- South-Bali coastal cruise — Uluwatu cliffs, Jimbaran Bay, Tanjung Benoa and Nusa Dua without crossing to the islands at all.
What does a typical day on the water look like?
Sanur Water Activities publishes a sample Sanur-to-Penida day that maps out the rhythm well: 07:00 hotel pickup, 08:00 briefing at the Sanur counter, 08:30 sailing, 09:30 swim with manta rays, snorkel sessions at 10:30 and 11:30, lunch at Maruti Beach Club at 12:00, then Kelingking Beach at 14:00, Broken Beach at 15:00, a final snorkel at 16:00, sailing back at 17:00 and hotel drop-off by 17:45.
Your itinerary is yours to shift — swap a land tour for a longer snorkel, or start earlier to beat the crowds at Kelingking. On a private boat, the crew works to your schedule, not a shared timetable.
How does booking work?
Four steps take you from question to confirmed date.
- Message the charter desk. WhatsApp 6281128590000 with your date, group size and departure point (Sanur, Serangan or Benoa).
- Pick your vessel and route. Choose the 12m speedboat for pace or the 13m semi-yacht for shade, then set your day — Penida mantas, Lembongan island-hop or a south-Bali coastal cruise.
- Confirm and hold the date. You receive a per-boat quote (fixed, not per person) and reserve the vessel for your group.
- Meet at the counter. Arrive for the 08:00 Sanur briefing, collect life jackets, and sail at 08:30.
