A Bali private boat charter from Benoa books an entire day-cruiser or mid-size speedboat for your group alone — not per seat. Expect roughly IDR 8,000,000 to IDR 44,500,000 (about USD 500-2,500) as of 2026 for a full private day to Nusa Penida or the south-Bali coast, priced per boat.
Benoa is where Baruna Boat Co sends the bigger, steadier vessels. If your group is a mixed-age family, a set of grandparents, or a company team that wants shade, seats and a proper cabin rather than a fast bench seat, this is the departure point built for you. Below is what a Benoa charter costs in 2026, which boats fit which group, and exactly how to lock in a date.
Why depart from Benoa instead of Sanur or Serangan?
Benoa Harbour (Pelabuhan Benoa) is Bali’s main deep-water marina in the island’s southeast, minutes from Tanjung Benoa, Nusa Dua and Jimbaran. It handles larger hulls and calmer boarding than a beach launch, which is why comfort-focused day-cruisers and multi-deck cruisers tend to sit here.
Two practical points. First, Benoa puts you closest to the south-Bali coast — Tanjung Benoa, Nusa Dua, Jimbaran Bay and the Uluwatu cliffs — so a sunset or coastal loop is quick. Second, Nusa Penida is still very reachable: a Sanur speedboat crossing runs about 30-45 minutes, and Benoa departures sit a little further south, so budget slightly longer on the water. That trade-off buys you a more sheltered, comfortable start.
What does a private boat charter from Benoa cost in 2026?
Private day charters are priced per boat, so a family of four and a group of twelve can pay the same headline rate. The spread depends on vessel size, comfort and route. Blue Marlin Bali, for example, publishes its Accura 39 from USD 750 for a 4-hour sunset or coastal cruise and USD 950 for an 8-hour full day to Nusa Penida (as of 2026). Bluuu Tours lists private Nusa Penida yacht tours from IDR 13,000,000 — around USD 750 — per boat. At the premium end, the per-boat pricelist published by Parahu.com runs up to IDR 44,500,000 for its 35-passenger vessel.
| Trip option | Duration | Departure | Indicative per-boat price (2026) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sunset & south-coast cruise | 3-4 hrs | Benoa | from ~USD 750 / IDR 12,000,000 |
| Full-day Nusa Penida island-hop | 8-9 hrs | Benoa | IDR 13,000,000-25,000,000 |
| Premium catamaran day-cruiser | 8 hrs | Benoa | IDR 33,000,000-37,000,000 |
| Large-group / corporate charter | 8 hrs | Benoa | up to IDR 44,500,000 |
All figures are indicative market rates as of 2026 and are subject to change. Your final Benoa quote depends on the exact boat, date and stops — message the concierge for a firm number.
Which Benoa vessels suit families and corporate groups?
The comfort gap between a speedboat and a cabin cruiser is real. Sanur Water Activities describes its 12m speedboat (from IDR 8,000,000) with a Bluetooth speaker and a sun deck with bean bags, and its 13m semi-yacht (from IDR 9,000,000) with an air-conditioned cabin, karaoke and a flat TV — a useful illustration of what more money buys. For steadier rides across a group with kids or older guests, the catamaran and large-cruiser classes win.
| Vessel class | Typical capacity | On-board comfort | Best for | Indicative day rate (2026) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mid-size speedboat | up to 12 | Bluetooth speaker, sun deck, bean bags | fast island-hop, younger groups | from IDR 8,000,000 |
| Semi-yacht cabin cruiser | up to 15 | air-con cabin, karaoke, flat TV | comfort-seeking families | from IDR 9,000,000 |
| Catamaran day-cruiser | up to 14 | wide stable deck, shade, lounge space | mixed-age & corporate groups | around IDR 34,500,000 |
| Large group cruiser | 20-35 | multiple decks, crew galley, room to move | company outings, events | up to IDR 44,500,000 |
Those upper-tier figures track Parahu.com’s 2026 per-boat list, where its 14-passenger Catamaran JEM is IDR 34,500,000 and its 35-passenger vessel is IDR 44,500,000. Baruna Boat Co arranges these vessels through vetted, licensed local operators — we are the booking concierge, not the boat owner, so we match your group to the right hull rather than pushing one fixed fleet.
Where can a Benoa day charter actually take you?
A private boat means you choose the mix. Two directions dominate.
- Nusa Penida & Lembongan island-hop: swim at Manta Point/Manta Bay, snorkel Crystal Bay and Toyapakeh, then a land run to Kelingking Beach, Broken Beach and Angel Billabong; add Nusa Lembongan’s Yellow Bridge and mangroves if time allows.
- South-Bali coast loop: cruise past Tanjung Benoa, Nusa Dua and Jimbaran Bay toward the Uluwatu cliffs — the natural pick for a shorter half-day or a sunset run straight from Benoa.
Manta and marine-life sightings are seasonal and never guaranteed, and routes flex with swell and weather on the day. A good skipper will reorder stops to keep the water calm for your group.
How does booking a Benoa charter work?
- Send your brief. Message the concierge on WhatsApp with your date, group size, preferred departure (Benoa), and rough route — Penida snorkel, south-coast sunset, or a corporate day.
- Get matched. You receive one or two vessel options with a clear per-boat quote, a sample itinerary, and what’s included, so you can compare comfort against budget.
- Confirm and prep. A deposit holds the boat; you get crew details and a pickup plan. Hotel transfers are usually an add-on — Sanur Water Activities, for reference, charges about IDR 250,000 per car — so we confirm your Benoa logistics in writing.
- Charter day. Meet for a briefing at Benoa, sail, snorkel and sightsee at your pace, then return. The boat is yours for the booked hours.
What’s included, and what isn’t?
Most full-day Benoa charters cover the private vessel, fuel, skipper and crew, and safety equipment; snorkel gear and lunch are common but not universal, and hotel transfers, national-park or entrance fees, and add-on activities are often quoted separately. Because pricing models differ, always read the inclusions line by line — a per-boat charter is a different product from a per-person shared tour (for contrast, a Viator Nusa Penida premium day was listed from USD 73.62 per person in 2026, with private hotel pickup at IDR 300,000 per car each way for up to five people).
