**A Bali private boat charter to Nusa Penida rents you the whole boat — not a seat — for one full day from Sanur, Serangan or Benoa. As of 2026, per-boat rates run roughly IDR 8,000,000 to IDR 44,500,000 (about USD 500–2,500), covering Manta Point, Crystal Bay, Toyapakeh and Kelingking with your group only.**
This is the family and small-group day-boat lane: motorized speedboats and cabin day-cruisers on transparent per-boat pricing, built around what you actually want to do — swim with mantas, snorkel clear reef, and photograph the Kelingking cliff — rather than a shared ferry seat and a fixed queue.
What does a private Nusa Penida boat charter cost in 2026?
Because you book the whole hull, the price is quoted per boat. Split it across your group and the per-head cost drops fast. Every figure below is a published “start from” rate as of 2026 and moves with season, fuel and demand, so read it as a planning range, not a locked quote. No operator we track publishes seasonal price tables — rates are stated as fixed starting points.
| Vessel | Capacity | Per-boat rate (2026) | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12m speedboat | ~12 guests | from IDR 8,000,000 | Fast island-hop, sun deck with bean bags |
| 13m semi-yacht | air-con cabin | from IDR 9,000,000 | Families wanting shade, karaoke, flat TV |
| Monohull SW3 | 15 pax | IDR 11,900,000 | Larger groups on a budget |
| Private Penida yacht | per boat | from IDR 13,000,000 (≈USD 750) | Comfort-first day cruise |
| Queen 10 | 10 pax | IDR 18,000,000 | Mid-size private group |
| Accura 39 | up to 17 | USD 950 (8-hr full day) | Full-day Penida coastal run |
| Catamaran JEM | 14 pax | IDR 34,500,000 | Stable deck, more shade |
| JA | 35 pax | IDR 44,500,000 | Big private events |
Sanur Water Activities, at its Heaven’s Corner counter, labels these trips “Private speed boat from Bali” and starts its 12m speedboat (Bluetooth speaker, sun-deck bean bags) at IDR 8,000,000 and its 13m semi-yacht (air-con cabin, karaoke, flat TV) at IDR 9,000,000. Parahu.com publishes a longer per-boat pricelist that stretches from the Monohull SW3 at IDR 11,900,000 up to the JA at IDR 44,500,000 (that price covers 25 guests; extra guests add IDR 1,000,000 each). Bluuu Tours lists private Nusa Penida yacht tours from IDR 13,000,000, about USD 750 per boat. Blue Marlin Bali advertises its Accura 39 at USD 750 for a 4-hour sunset run or USD 950 for an 8-hour full day to Penida, seating up to 17. For contrast, a per-person model — Viator’s premium Penida day — starts near USD 73.62 per person, which only undercuts a private boat for solo travelers or a couple.
Which Nusa Penida stops does the route cover?
The classic day loop threads the island’s west and south coast. Here is the route map, west to south:
Sanur counter → (30–45 min crossing) → Manta Bay → Crystal Bay → Toyapakeh → lunch at Maruti Beach Club → Kelingking → Broken Beach → return to Sanur.
| Stop | Zone | What you do | Typical window |
|---|---|---|---|
| Manta Point / Manta Bay | SW Penida | Snorkel with manta rays | ~09:30 |
| Crystal Bay | West Penida | Clear-water reef snorkel | Mid-morning |
| Toyapakeh | NW Penida | Calm reef snorkel | Late morning |
| Kelingking Beach | South Penida | T-rex cliff viewpoint (land add-on) | ~14:00 |
| Broken Beach & Angel Billabong | SE Penida | Cliff coves, natural pool | ~15:00 |
Manta sightings are wild-animal encounters, not a guarantee — good captains reposition to give you the best odds, but no one can promise a manta or the weather. If you want to extend, the same boats can swing north to Nusa Lembongan for the Yellow Bridge and mangroves, or trace the south-Bali coast past Uluwatu, Jimbaran Bay, Tanjung Benoa and Nusa Dua on the way home.
How long is the crossing, and what does a full day look like?
Sanur to Nusa Penida runs roughly 30–45 minutes by speedboat — short enough that seasick-prone guests usually cope fine. Sanur Water Activities publishes a sample Sanur-to-Penida day you can use as a template:
- 07:00 — Hotel pickup (optional, extra IDR 250,000 per car)
- 08:00 — Briefing at the Sanur counter
- 08:30 — Set sail
- 09:30 — Swim with manta rays
- 10:30 & 11:30 — Two snorkel sessions
- 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
Which boat size fits your group?
Match the hull to your numbers. A couple or a family of four is well served by the 12m speedboat — fast, open, cheapest per boat. A group of eight to twelve buys real comfort by stepping up to the 13m semi-yacht or a Queen 10-class monohull, where an air-con cabin matters on a long day. Ten to seventeen guests fit the Accura 39 or a catamaran like JEM, which trades a little speed for a broad, stable deck and more shade. Corporate outings and big families of 20–35 move to the SK, KAL or JA-class boats, where per-head cost sinks to its lowest.
How does booking a Penida day charter work?
- Message the concierge on WhatsApp 6281128590000 with your date, group size and preferred departure — Sanur, Serangan or Benoa.
- Get a per-boat quote and two or three vessel options matched to your numbers and budget.
- Confirm the boat with a deposit; lock your pickup time, lunch stop and the stops you care about most.
- Meet at the counter for the safety briefing, then sail — the whole boat is yours for the day.
Private charter vs shared fast boat — which do you actually want?
They solve different problems. A shared fast boat is a scheduled ferry ticket sold per seat: cheap, fixed route, fixed times, strangers aboard. A private charter is the opposite — you set the departure, choose the stops, skip crowds at Manta Bay by arriving early, and never wait on anyone else. If you only need to cross to Penida and back, take the shared boat. If the day on the water is the trip, charter the whole boat.
