**As of 2026, Labuan Bajo yacht charter prices run from roughly USD 1,100 per day for entry motor yachts to USD 10,000+ per day for a sailing superyacht, with Sailo’s weekly average at USD 13,784. Crew, tender and most water toys are typically bundled in; fuel, park fees and premium extras are billed separately.**
“Yacht” in Labuan Bajo covers two products — modern motor and sailing yachts, and yacht-grade traditional boats — with different price logic. This page lays out both, day rates through weekly charters, so you can judge any quote before committing.
What Do Yacht Charters in Labuan Bajo Actually Cost?
According to Sailo, day charters out of Labuan Bajo average about USD 1,100 per day as of 2026, while the average across its eight listed boats — motor yachts, party boats and sailboats — is USD 2,411 per day, with a floor of USD 500 and a ceiling of USD 9,510. Click&Boat puts a typical Labuan Bajo rental at USD 950–1,700 per day, quotes an average of USD 1,992, and shows a full spread of USD 1,025–3,068.
At the top end, Labuan Bajo Luxury pegs boutique phinisi charters at USD 2,200 per day and a sailing superyacht at USD 10,000+ per day.
| Yacht tier | Day rate (USD, as of 2026) | Benchmark source |
|---|---|---|
| Entry motor yacht / day boat | 500 – 1,100 | Sailo minimum and day-charter average |
| Mid-range motor yacht | 950 – 1,700 | Click&Boat typical band |
| Premium motor or sailing yacht | 1,992 – 3,068 | Click&Boat average and upper spread |
| Large yacht / party boat | up to 9,510 | Sailo listed maximum |
| Boutique phinisi (yacht-grade) | from 2,200 | Labuan Bajo Luxury |
| Sailing superyacht | 10,000+ | Labuan Bajo Luxury |
These are marketplace and competitor benchmarks, not our rate card. Bajo Fleet House quotes each yacht individually, and every figure is confirmed in writing by the Komodo Luxury reservations team before you pay anything.
How Do Day Rates Compare to Weekly Charter Prices?
A week is not seven day-rates stacked up. According to Sailo, the weekly average for Labuan Bajo sits at USD 13,784 as of 2026 — about 12.5 times its USD 1,100 day-rate average rather than a flat 7x, because weekly quotes fold in overnight crewing, provisioning and longer Komodo National Park routings.
Season moves the number harder than duration. Click&Boat’s seasonal split shows roughly USD 2,885 per day in high season against USD 1,154 per day in low season — a gap of about 2.5x on the same boats.
| Duration and season | Benchmark (USD, as of 2026) | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Single day, average | 1,100 | Sailo |
| Single day, high season | ~2,885 | Click&Boat |
| Single day, low season | ~1,154 | Click&Boat |
| Full week, average | 13,784 | Sailo |
Flexible dates? Moving a week charter out of peak months routinely saves four figures on the same hull.
What Is Included in a Labuan Bajo Yacht Charter Price?
Yacht rates look high next to open-deck boats because the quote bundles far more. On most yachts we shortlist, the rate includes:
- Full crew — captain, engineer and deckhands, plus a chef overnight. For scale, Click&Boat prices a skipper alone at about USD 100 per day as of 2026.
- Tender — the small boat that runs you ashore at Padar, Pink Beach and the ranger stations, since yachts anchor off.
- Water toys — snorkeling sets as standard; paddleboards and kayaks on most, jet skis or Seabobs on some. Confirm the toy list per yacht — it varies more than any other inclusion.
- Meals and soft drinks on overnight charters; day charters range from full lunch service to light refreshments.
Usually not included: fuel on some contracts — Click&Boat notes fuel and skipper fees can be billed separately — plus Komodo National Park fees, alcohol and crew gratuity. Always ask for an itemized quote. A yacht at USD 2,400 all-in can cost less than one at USD 2,000 plus fuel, park handling and toy surcharges.
Yacht or Luxury Phinisi — Which Wins at the Same Budget?
Around USD 2,200–3,000 per day the two overlap; the decision becomes trip style, not money.
| At USD 2,200–3,000/day (as of 2026) | Modern yacht | Luxury phinisi |
|---|---|---|
| Cruising pace | Faster; more stops per day | Slower; fewer, longer stops |
| Overnight cabins | Fewer, compact | More, larger, often en-suite |
| Character | Contemporary, air-conditioned saloon | Traditional two-masted wooden ship, deck living |
| Best for | Day charters; groups who value speed | 2D1N and longer; the boat is the destination |
| Weekly economics | Sailo weekly average USD 13,784 | From USD 2,200/day (Labuan Bajo Luxury); a week lands near USD 15,400 |
Rule of thumb: for one long day, take the yacht — speed buys you Padar, Komodo and Pink Beach inside daylight hours. Sleeping aboard two nights or more, the phinisi usually delivers more boat per dollar.
Which Fees Apply on Top of the Yacht’s Rate?
Komodo National Park charges attach to passengers, not the boat, and no yacht rate we have reviewed absorbs them by default. Best Komodo Tour breaks the costs down, as of 2026, at approximately IDR 150,000–250,000 per person for park entrance, IDR 80,000–100,000 per group for a ranger, and IDR 50,000–100,000 per person for snorkeling or diving — additional to any charter quote unless your written package states otherwise.
Budget, too, for the cost of booking blind. Booking.com’s Labuan Bajo charter listing at Jalan Soekarno Hatta, 86554 Labuan Bajo shows no price until you select dates, and AYANA Komodo Waecicu Beach offers charter on a contact-the-team basis with no published rate. A firm written quote before committing answers both.

A boutique phinisi from USD 2,200 per day, per Labuan Bajo Luxury, lands near USD 15,400 for seven days. Firm quotes shift with season, routing and provisioning, so confirm in writing.
Are crew and fuel included in Labuan Bajo yacht charter prices?

Fuel varies by contract: Click&Boat notes fuel and skipper fees can be billed separately, with a skipper alone averaging about USD 100 per day as of 2026. Request an itemized written quote before paying any deposit.
Why do yacht charter prices in Labuan Bajo swing so much by season?
Demand into Komodo National Park is strongly seasonal. Click&Boat’s split, as of 2026, shows roughly USD 2,885 per day in high season versus USD 1,154 in low season — about a 2.5x gap on the same boats. If your dates flex, shifting into shoulder months is the single biggest saving available on yacht charters here.
Is a modern yacht or a luxury phinisi cheaper for the same group?
At USD 2,200–3,000 per day the two cost about the same as of 2026, so value depends on the trip. Yachts cruise faster and fit more stops into a single day; phinisi carry more cabins and deck space for overnights. For 2D1N or longer, a phinisi usually delivers more boat per dollar.
What park fees are added on top of a yacht’s day rate in Komodo?
Best Komodo Tour breaks down the costs, as of 2026, at approximately IDR 150,000–250,000 per person for park entrance, IDR 80,000–100,000 per group for a ranger, and IDR 50,000–100,000 per person for snorkeling or diving. These are payable in addition to the charter rate unless your written package explicitly includes them.
