Bali Private Boat Charter from Serangan
**A Bali private boat charter from Serangan puts a whole speedboat or cabin day-cruiser in your group’s hands for a single day — no strangers, no shared benches. As of 2026, expect roughly IDR 8,000,000 to 44,500,000 (about USD 500–2,500) per boat, leaving Serangan harbour for Nusa Penida, Nusa Lembongan or the south-Bali coast.**
This is a whole-boat, per-boat booking — not a shared fast-boat ferry ticket. You charter the vessel, your own family or friends fill it, and the itinerary bends to you rather than to a schedule you didn’t set.
Why start your charter from Serangan?
Serangan — Pulau Serangan, still called Turtle Island by many drivers — sits just south of Sanur and next to Benoa on Bali’s south-east shoulder. Its sheltered harbour and concrete boat ramp make for a calm, dry-footed boarding, which matters when you’re loading kids, grandparents or camera gear. Parking is straightforward, and the launch is close to the Bukit and Nusa Dua side of the island, so guests staying in the south have a short run to the dock.
Choosing Serangan over Sanur or Benoa usually comes down to where you sleep and which crossing you want. Serangan gives quick access to both Nusa Penida and the south-Bali coastline — Nusa Dua, Tanjung Benoa, Jimbaran Bay and the cliffs below Uluwatu. Families booking a private hull, small friend groups and couples after a quiet sunset run all tend to favour it for that flexibility.
How much does a private boat charter from Serangan cost?
Prices are quoted per boat for the whole day, not per head, so a group of ten pays the same hull price as a couple. The table below gathers real 2026 market “from” figures published by Bali operators. Your final quote depends on vessel, hours and route, and every boat is arranged through vetted, licensed partners.
| Vessel type | Guests | From (per boat, 2026) | Suits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Speedboat (~12m) | up to 12 | IDR 8,000,000 (~USD 500) | Fast Penida snorkel runs |
| Cabin day-cruiser / semi-yacht (~13m) | up to 15 | IDR 9,000,000–13,000,000 | Air-con comfort, island-hop |
| Premium day yacht (e.g. Accura 39) | up to 17 | USD 950 (8-hr full day) | Full-day Penida + sunset |
| Large monohull / catamaran | 20–35 | IDR 19,750,000–44,500,000 | Big groups, celebrations |
Those anchors come from named operators. Sanur Water Activities lists a 12m speedboat (Bluetooth speaker, sun-deck bean bags) from IDR 8,000,000 and a 13m semi-yacht with air-con cabin, karaoke and flat TV from IDR 9,000,000. Bluuu Tours advertises private Nusa Penida yacht tours from IDR 13,000,000 (about USD 750) per boat. Blue Marlin Bali prices its Accura 39 from USD 750 for a four-hour sunset cruise and USD 950 for an eight-hour full day to Nusa Penida, seating up to 17 guests. Parahu.com’s per-boat pricelist ranges from IDR 11,900,000 for a 15-guest monohull up to IDR 44,500,000 for a 35-guest vessel. All are “start from” rates, quoted as of 2026 and subject to change.
What are the transfer times from Canggu and Seminyak to Serangan?
Serangan is one of south Bali’s more central launch points, but drive times swing hard with traffic. Use the estimates below as planning buffers, not promises, and lean toward an earlier pickup than you think you need.
| Coming from | Typical drive to Serangan | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Nusa Dua / Benoa | 15–25 min | Closest resorts |
| Kuta / DPS Airport | 20–30 min | Short, easy transfer |
| Sanur | 20–30 min | Quick north-side hop |
| Seminyak | 30–45 min | Traffic-dependent |
| Canggu | 45–75 min | Heaviest at morning peak |
| Ubud | 60–90 min | Add a comfortable buffer |
Hotel pickup can be arranged through our partners. As a market reference, Sanur Water Activities adds IDR 250,000 per car, and a Viator Nusa Penida day lists private pickup at IDR 300,000 per car each way for up to five guests. For an on-time departure, plan a pickup roughly 90 minutes before your Serangan cast-off.
Where can you cruise on a day from Serangan?
- Nusa Penida — a comparable 30–45 minute speedboat crossing (the Sanur–Penida run takes about that long). Snorkel Manta Point / Manta Bay, Crystal Bay and Toyapakeh, then add a land tour to Kelingking Beach, Broken Beach and Angel Billabong.
- Nusa Lembongan — slower, calmer water around the Yellow Bridge and the mangrove channels.
- South-Bali coast — a coastal cruise past Tanjung Benoa, Nusa Dua and Jimbaran Bay toward the Uluwatu cliffs, popular for a late-afternoon sunset run.
Manta and marine-life sightings are seasonal and never guaranteed — no honest operator promises them, and weather can reshape any route on the day.
What does a typical Serangan charter day look like?
Days flex to your group, but a full Penida itinerary tends to follow a familiar rhythm. Based on Sanur Water Activities’ published sample day, expect something like: 07:00 hotel pickup, 08:30 sailing, 09:30 swim near the mantas, 10:30 and 11:30 snorkel stops, 12:00 lunch (their sample uses Maruti Beach Club), 14:00 Kelingking Beach, 15:00 Broken Beach, 16:00 a final snorkel, 17:00 sail back and around 17:45 hotel drop-off. From Serangan the timings shift only slightly with the crossing.
