**A private speedboat charter in Bali costs from IDR 8,000,000 (about USD 500) for a full whole-boat day, priced per boat rather than per person. Rates climb to roughly IDR 44,500,000 (USD 2,500) for larger, higher-comfort vessels. Departures run from Sanur, Serangan and Benoa toward Nusa Penida and Lembongan, all as of 2026.**
What does a Bali private speedboat charter cost in 2026?
The entry price for a private, whole-boat speedboat day sits at IDR 8,000,000. Sanur Water Activities (Heaven’s Corner) markets a “Private speed boat from Bali” starting at our counter in Sanur: a 12-metre speedboat from IDR 8,000,000 with a Bluetooth speaker and a sun deck with bean bags, and a 13-metre semi-yacht day-cruiser from IDR 9,000,000 that adds an air-conditioned cabin, karaoke and a flat TV.
Because you hire the whole boat, headcount barely moves the base rate. Two guests or ten pay the same per-boat figure, which is exactly why a private charter beats per-person tickets once your group grows. Here is how the speedboat-and-cruiser ladder compares, per boat, as of 2026.
| Vessel / type | Capacity | From (IDR) | From (USD) | Duration | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12m speedboat, Sanur | small group | 8,000,000 | ~500 | Full day | Sanur Water Activities |
| 13m semi-yacht (day-cruiser), Sanur | small group | 9,000,000 | — | Full day | Sanur Water Activities |
| Monohull SW3 | 15 pax | 11,900,000 | — | Full day | Parahu.com |
| Private Nusa Penida yacht | per boat | 13,000,000 | ~750 | Full day | Bluuu Tours |
| Accura 39 (coastal / sunset) | up to 17 | — | 750 | 4 hours | Blue Marlin Bali |
| Accura 39 (full day to Penida) | up to 17 | — | 950 | 8 hours | Blue Marlin Bali |
USD figures are shown only where the operator publishes them; rupiah rates convert at roughly IDR 16,000–17,800 per USD in 2026, so treat any dollar equivalent as indicative and subject to change.
How much boat does each budget buy?
Parahu.com publishes a per-boat Nusa Penida day-charter pricelist that shows how comfort and size — not passenger count — drive the number. A representative slice, as of 2026:

Speedboat vs day-cruiser: what actually changes the price?
A speedboat is an open, motorised fast boat: lowest base rate (from IDR 8,000,000), quickest crossing, and a sun deck rather than an enclosed lounge. A day-cruiser or semi-yacht trades some speed for an air-conditioned cabin, shade and extras — which is why the same operator’s 13-metre semi-yacht opens at IDR 9,000,000 against the speedboat’s IDR 8,000,000.
The gap widens with size and finish. Bluuu Tours lists private Nusa Penida yacht tours from IDR 13,000,000 (about USD 750) per boat, while Blue Marlin Bali prices its Accura 39 at USD 750 for a four-hour sunset or coastal cruise and USD 950 for an eight-hour full day to Nusa Penida, seating up to 17 guests. What moves your quote:
- Hull type — open speedboat (cheapest) vs cabin cruiser or catamaran.
- Size and capacity — an 8-pax monohull costs far less than a 35-pax vessel.
- Comfort spec — air-con cabin, karaoke, TV and sun-deck bean bags add up.
- Route length — a Penida-only day is cheaper than Penida plus a Lembongan add-on.
What about fuel surcharges for far sites?
The Sanur-to-Nusa Penida crossing runs roughly 30–45 minutes by speedboat. Push further — the east-Penida snorkel sites, or bolting a Nusa Lembongan mangrove-and-Yellow-Bridge leg onto a Penida day — and you add running time, so some operators quote a fuel surcharge for extended range.
Be straight about this: no Bali operator page publishes a seasonal or fuel-surcharge table, and 2026 rates are stated as fixed “start from” figures. So ask for any far-site surcharge in writing before you confirm, rather than assuming it is baked in. We will always state it up front on your quote.
How does booking a private speedboat charter work?
- Send your brief. Message the concierge on WhatsApp with your date, group size, departure point (Sanur, Serangan or Benoa) and target route — Manta Point and Crystal Bay for snorkelling, Kelingking and Broken Beach for a Penida land tour, or a south-Bali coastal run past Uluwatu and Jimbaran.
- Get a per-boat quote. We match you to a speedboat or day-cruiser and return an all-in per-boat rate, with any fuel surcharge for far sites shown separately.
- Confirm inclusions. Check crew, fuel for the quoted route, safety and snorkel gear, and the lunch stop, then add options like hotel pickup.
- Hold the date. Secure the boat with a deposit, arranged via a vetted, licensed local operator.
- Receive your itinerary. You get the meeting time and the plan; balance is settled on the day or per the operator’s terms.
What is included — and what costs extra?
Whole-boat quotes typically cover crew, fuel for the agreed route, safety equipment, snorkel gear and a lunch stop (Sanur Water Activities’ sample Penida day, for instance, breaks at Maruti Beach Club around midday). Usual extras: hotel pickup — Sanur Water Activities adds IDR 250,000 per car, and a comparable Viator premium day lists IDR 300,000 per car each way for up to five people — plus any far-site fuel surcharge and per-head charges above a capped boat’s base count.
For contrast, Viator’s per-person Nusa Penida premium day starts at USD 73.62 per person. That model can suit solo travellers, but once you fill a deck, the whole-boat charter is usually the cheaper and more private choice — you set the pace and the stops.
