How Much Does a Phinisi Charter Cost?
A phinisi charter in Indonesia typically costs between USD 2,500 and USD 25,000+ per night, depending on vessel category, destination, season, and group size. All our charter rates are all-inclusive — covering crew, private chef, meals, snorkeling equipment, kayaks, and fuel. The only extras are national park entrance fees, premium alcoholic beverages, and spa treatments on select vessels.
Prices shown below are starting rates per night. Final pricing is customized based on your itinerary, group size, and seasonal availability. Peak season (June–September) rates are approximately 20–30% higher than low season. We recommend booking 3–6 months in advance for peak season charters.

Seasonal Pricing Guide
Indonesia’s charter season runs year-round, but conditions and pricing vary by region and month. Here’s what to expect:
Peak Season (Jun–Sep)
Best weather across all destinations. Calm seas, minimal rain, perfect visibility for diving and snorkeling. Highest demand — book 4–6 months ahead. Rates are 20–30% above base pricing. Komodo and Raja Ampat are busiest.
Shoulder Season (Apr–May, Oct–Nov)
Excellent conditions with fewer crowds. Great value — you get near-peak weather at moderate pricing. Manta ray season in Komodo peaks October–February. Ideal for photographers and divers seeking privacy.
Low Season (Dec–Mar)
Rainy season in most regions. Bali and southern routes may have rougher seas. Raja Ampat remains diveable year-round. Best pricing of the year — up to 30% savings. Some vessels offer special holiday packages around Christmas and New Year.
