**Bajo Fleet House is a rate-card resource for whole-boat charter hire from Labuan Bajo harbor, published by Juara Holding Group and edited by Damianus Jehadu, our charter pricing editor. We track per-boat day and overnight rates by boat class, date-stamp every figure, and route bookings to the reservations team at Komodo Luxury, founded in 2015.**
Why does a whole-boat rate-card site need to exist?
Because charter pricing in Labuan Bajo hides behind a quote form. Booking.com’s charter listing on Jalan Soekarno Hatta will not show a price until you select dates. Marketplace averages disagree: as of 2026, Click&Boat quotes an average of USD 1,992 per day for a Labuan Bajo boat rental, while Sailo’s day-charter average sits near USD 1,100. Neither is wrong — they list different fleets — but a traveler comparing them has no shared yardstick.
Bajo Fleet House exists to be that yardstick. We publish whole-boat rates by class — speedboat, open-deck day boat, slow boat, phinisi — with capacity and day-rate tables, so a group can see on one screen whether hiring an entire boat beats buying seats on a shared tour. On 2026 figures from Nera Wela and Best Komodo Tour, from six passengers up it usually does: a medium speedboat at USD 830 whole-boat splits to about USD 104 per person with 8 aboard, inside Best Komodo Tour’s USD 60–150 shared-tour band.
Who publishes Bajo Fleet House?
The site is published by Juara Holding Group, which operates a family of Indonesian travel-information properties. Editorial responsibility sits with one person: Damianus Jehadu, charter pricing editor. Damianus works from Labuan Bajo, collects published tariffs from operators and marketplaces, cross-checks them against quotes gathered at the harbor, and stamps each figure with the year it was verified.
When a number here says “as of 2026,” it was checked in 2026 and remains subject to change until a written quote confirms it. Third-party figures are named in the sentence — according to Sailo, according to Click&Boat. We never present a marketplace average as our own rate.
Bajo Fleet House does not own boats and does not run a reservations desk. The person maintaining the rate cards is not the person closing the sale — that separation keeps the benchmarks honest even when they make a charter look expensive.
Who handles the actual bookings?
Bookings go directly to the reservations team at Komodo Luxury, an award-winning charter operator founded in Labuan Bajo in 2015. When you message the WhatsApp number on this site — 628113823875 — you reach that reservations team, not a call center or a lead reseller.
Every final per-boat price is confirmed by that team in writing before you pay anything; the benchmark tables here never override a written quote. Where a requested vessel sits outside the Komodo Luxury fleet, the trip is arranged via vetted licensed partners, stated plainly in the quote.
How do we collect and date-stamp the rates?
Five rules govern every table on Bajo Fleet House:
- Named sources only. Every third-party figure is attributed in prose to the outlet that published it — Click&Boat, Sailo, Nera Wela Tour and Travel, Best Komodo Tour, Labuan Bajo Luxury, AYANA, or Booking.com.
- Every figure carries a date. Rates are marked “as of 2026” and rechecked when sources republish.
- Whole-boat and per-person prices never mix in one column. Each table states its basis.
- Park fees sit on top, not buried. Best Komodo Tour’s 2026 breakdown — roughly IDR 150,000–250,000 per person for Komodo National Park entrance, IDR 80,000–100,000 per group for a ranger, and IDR 50,000–100,000 per person for snorkeling — is additional to any charter rate unless a written package states otherwise.
- Benchmarks are not our prices. Marketplace averages describe a market; your quote describes your boat, dates and group. Only the written quote is binding.
Here is what each source contributes to the rate cards:
| Source | What we track from it | Example figure (as of 2026) |
|---|---|---|
| Click&Boat | Marketplace day rates and seasonality | USD 950–1,700 typical/day; roughly USD 2,885 high season vs USD 1,154 low |
| Sailo | Day and weekly charter averages | About USD 1,100/day; listings from USD 500 to USD 9,510 |
| Nera Wela Tour and Travel | Published whole-boat speedboat tariffs | Rp 7,000,000–9,000,000 (USD 450–580) for a small speedboat, 1–4 persons |
| Best Komodo Tour | Private-charter band, park fees, per-person tour prices | USD 800–2,500 per boat; shared day tours USD 60–150 per person |
| Labuan Bajo Luxury | Phinisi and superyacht ceiling | USD 2,200/day boutique phinisi up to USD 10,000+/day |
| AYANA Komodo Waecicu Beach | Resort charter pricing behavior | Contact-the-team only; no published day rate |
| Booking.com | Listing and pricing opacity | Price appears only after date selection |
What price ranges do the rate cards cover?
A snapshot of the 2026 benchmarks behind the four boat classes covered across this site:
| Boat class | Typical group size | Whole-boat day-rate benchmark (as of 2026) | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small speedboat | 1–4 | Rp 7,000,000–9,000,000 (USD 450–580) | Nera Wela |
| Medium speedboat | 5–10 | Rp 10,000,000–13,000,000 (USD 640–830) | Nera Wela |
| Open-deck / slow boat | 6–15 | USD 800–2,500 per boat | Best Komodo Tour |
| Phinisi and above | 8–20+ | From USD 2,200/day, superyachts USD 10,000+ | Labuan Bajo Luxury |
These are published benchmarks, not our tariff. Dates and fuel arrangements move the number — Click&Boat notes that skipper time (about USD 100/day) and fuel can be billed separately.
