**A private whole-boat day charter from Bali to Nusa Penida costs roughly IDR 8,000,000 to IDR 44,500,000 (about USD 500 to USD 2,500) for the full day as of 2026 — priced per boat, not per person. Entry-level speedboats start near IDR 8-9 million; larger cabin day-cruisers climb higher with size and comfort.**

How much does a Nusa Penida private boat charter cost in 2026?
The number that matters is the whole-boat rate, because a private charter is billed for the vessel — fill it with 4 guests or 14, the price is the same. Parahu.com publishes one of the clearest per-boat Nusa Penida day-charter pricelists, and it maps the full range from a 15-passenger monohull to a 35-passenger cruiser.
| Boat | Capacity | Full private day (IDR), as of 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Monohull SW3 | 15 pax | 11,900,000 |
| Monohull RS | 12 pax | 16,500,000 |
| Queen 10 | 10 pax | 18,000,000 |
| RHI | 14 pax | 18,500,000 (for 7 pax; add pax 1,550,000) |
| KAL | 20 pax | 19,750,000 |
| Monohull 39 | 8 pax | 19,800,000 |
| Mironia | 12 pax | 21,500,000 |
| SK | 20 pax | 22,500,000 |
| KFISH | 12 pax | 23,000,000 |
| DBL Lux / Freedom | 12 pax | 25,000,000 each |
| Queen 18 | 15 pax | 28,000,000 |
| Aqua 01 | 12 pax | 33,000,000 |
| Catamaran JEM | 14 pax | 34,500,000 |
| Morgan | 14 pax | 37,000,000 |
| Forever Lux | 12 pax | 42,900,000 |
| JA | 35 pax | 44,500,000 (for 25 pax; add pax 1,000,000) |
If your group is small and you want the lightest cost, the entry tier sits well below that table. Sanur Water Activities, trading as Heaven’s Corner, labels its trips “Private speed boat from Bali (Starts from our counter at Sanur)” and prices a 12m speedboat from IDR 8,000,000 (Bluetooth speaker, sun deck with bean bags) and a 13m semi-yacht from IDR 9,000,000 (air-conditioned cabin, karaoke, flat TV). Bluuu Tours lists private Nusa Penida yacht tours from IDR 13,000,000 (about USD 750) per boat, and Blue Marlin Bali advertises its Accura 39 at USD 950 for an 8-hour full day to Nusa Penida, or USD 750 for a 4-hour sunset and coastal cruise for up to 17 guests.
What changes the price of a Penida day charter?
Four things move the number, and knowing them helps you read any quote:
- Vessel size and comfort. A basic 12m speedboat starts near IDR 8 million; an air-con cabin cruiser or catamaran like the Catamaran JEM (IDR 34,500,000) or Forever Lux (IDR 42,900,000) costs multiples more.
- Group size on capped boats. Some listings bundle a base headcount and charge per extra guest above it (see the add-pax math below).
- Departure point. Charters run from Sanur, Serangan and Benoa; the Sanur crossing to Nusa Penida is only about 30-45 minutes by speedboat, which keeps fuel time short.
- Add-ons. Hotel pickup, a Penida land tour, and lunch can sit outside the base boat rate — worth confirming line by line.
How does the add-passenger math work on bigger boats?
A few boats are quoted for a base group, then add per head. On Parahu.com’s list, the RHI (14-pax capacity) is priced at IDR 18,500,000 for 7 passengers, with each additional guest at IDR 1,550,000. So a group of 10 works out to IDR 18,500,000 plus three extra seats — 3 × 1,550,000 = IDR 4,650,000 — for IDR 23,150,000 total. The large JA (35-pax) is IDR 44,500,000 for 25 passengers, with extra guests at IDR 1,000,000 each. Most other boats in the table are flat whole-boat rates with no per-head add-on, which is usually cheaper once your group climbs past the base count on the tiered vessels.
What does a full private day to Nusa Penida include?
A private day is built around water time first, sightseeing second. Sanur Water Activities publishes a sample Sanur-to-Penida run that shows how a full day is paced — a useful template whatever boat you pick.
| Time | Stop |
|---|---|
| 07:00 | Hotel pickup (extra IDR 250,000 per car) |
| 08:00 | Sanur counter briefing |
| 08:30 | Set sail |
| 09:30 | Swim with manta rays (Manta Bay / Manta Point) |
| 10:30 & 11:30 | Snorkel sessions (Crystal Bay, Toyapakeh) |
| 12:00 | Lunch at Maruti Beach Club |
| 14:00 | Kelingking Beach |
| 15:00 | Broken Beach |
| 16:00 | Final snorkel |
| 17:00 | Sail back |
| 17:45 | Hotel drop-off |
The snorkel core — Manta Bay, Crystal Bay and Toyapakeh — is where the whole-boat rate earns its keep, because you set the schedule rather than share it. Manta sightings are seasonal and never guaranteed; a good skipper reads conditions on the day and moves you to the calmer bay.
Is a private charter cheaper than a shared per-person boat?
For solos and couples, no — and it should not be. A per-person model like Viator’s Nusa Penida premium day lists from USD 73.62 per person with private hotel pickup at IDR 300,000 per car each way for up to 5 people. Two people pay roughly USD 150; a private boat starting near IDR 8-9 million (about USD 500-750) only makes sense once you are a family or small group who want the boat to yourselves. The break-even usually lands around 6-8 guests, where a whole-boat rate splits below a premium per-person seat and you keep the itinerary, the timings and the deck.
Does the Nusa Penida land tour cost extra?
Usually, yes. The boat charter covers the crossing and the water — Manta Bay, Crystal Bay, Toyapakeh — while the classic land tour to Kelingking Beach, Broken Beach and Angel Billabong needs a car and driver on the island. That land leg is quoted separately per car and arranged through vetted licensed partners, since no operator page publishes a fixed land-tour rate. As a transfer reference, hotel pickup runs about IDR 250,000 per car (Sanur Water Activities) to IDR 300,000 per car each way (Viator’s listing). Tell us your pickup area and how many cliff stops you want, and we fold the land tour into one Penida-cost quote so there are no surprises on the day.
