Bali yacht charter day rates are quoted per vessel, not per guest, and priced around a standard 8-hour charter day out of Benoa Harbour. As of 2026, indicative motor-yacht day cards start near USD 2,500 and climb into five figures for superyachts, with fuel, crew, catering and overtime confirmed by concierge before you commit. All figures below are date-stamped and subject to change.
What exactly is a “day rate” on a Bali yacht charter?
A day rate is the flat price to book one yacht, with her professional crew, for a defined block of hours on a single day. On Azure Helm’s motor-yacht charters departing Benoa, that block is a standard 8-hour charter day. You are chartering the whole vessel, so ten guests or two guests pay the same base rate — the number that changes is the yacht, the season, and how long you stay out.
Three things drive the figure:
- Vessel size and class. A 24m day-cruiser and a 40m superyacht sit at very different price points.
- Season. Bali’s July–August and the December–early-January holiday window are peak; shoulder and green-season dates are softer.
- Duration. The base card covers 8 hours. Go longer and overtime applies by the hour.
Because no operator in Bali publishes a fixed superyacht day-charter tariff, every number here is an indicative concierge range, not a locked price. Bali Premium Trip’s reservations team confirms the live rate for your date.
How is the standard 8-hour charter day structured?
Most Benoa day charters run on an 8-hour clock, typically from a mid-morning boarding to a sunset return. Here is how a representative day is built.
| Segment | Typical window | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| Boarding & welcome | 30–45 min | Benoa Harbour check-in, safety brief, welcome drinks |
| Outbound transit | Varies by vessel speed | Toward Nusa Dua, the Uluwatu cliffs, or offshore to Nusa Penida / Lembongan |
| Anchor & activities | 3–4 hrs | Swimming, snorkelling, water toys, lunch service |
| Return / sunset leg | 1–2 hrs | Golden-hour cruise back along the Bukit coast |
| Disembark | 15–30 min | Return to berth, farewell |
Transit times to the Nusa islands depend entirely on the vessel’s cruising speed and sea conditions, so we quote ranges rather than exact minutes. Faster yachts reach Nusa Penida’s Crystal Bay area comfortably within a day; slower vessels trade range for deck space and comfort.
Overtime. If your group wants to linger past the 8-hour mark — a long dinner at anchor, a later return — overtime is charged per hour and quoted upfront on your rate sheet. It is never applied by surprise.
What do day rates look like by season and vessel?
The table below frames indicative 2026 per-day ranges for a standard 8-hour charter from Benoa. These are concierge guide figures built from regional market context, not published tariffs, and they exclude fuel surcharge on longer routes, premium catering and add-ons. Bali Premium Trip confirms the exact rate for your yacht and date.
| Vessel class (approx.) | Guest capacity (day) | Green / shoulder day rate | Peak-season day rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Day-cruiser 20–24m | up to 12–15 | from ~USD 2,500 | from ~USD 3,200 |
| Motor yacht 25–32m | up to 20–25 | ~USD 4,500–7,500 | ~USD 6,000–9,500 |
| Superyacht 33–45m | up to 30–40 | ~USD 9,000–16,000 | ~USD 12,000–20,000+ |
| Ultra-premium 45m+ | by arrangement | on request | on request |
For regional context, as of 2026 Asia Global Yachting cites Bali day charters from around USD 2,500 per day, the Sailo marketplace shows Bali boats averaging roughly USD 1,230 per day (from about USD 319 up to USD 7,272), and nearby Labuan Bajo luxury charters run from about USD 1,900 per night to over USD 20,000 for the most exclusive vessels. Larger Indonesian superyachts are more often listed by the week, per Luxury Charter Group. Peak weeks in July, August and the Christmas–New Year window sit at the top of every band.
IDR note: rates are usually contracted in USD. If you prefer an IDR figure, your concierge will convert at the day’s rate; treat any rupiah number as indicative only, as of 2026 and subject to change.
What’s included in a day rate — and what’s extra?
Knowing where the line sits keeps your budget honest.
Usually inside the base day rate
- The yacht for the standard 8-hour day
- Professional captain and crew
- Standard water, soft drinks and a welcome amenity
- Basic snorkelling gear and safety equipment
Itemised add-ons (per-yacht, quoted separately)
- Fuel surcharge on longer offshore routes (Nusa Penida / Lembongan)
- Chef-prepared menus, premium wine and bar packages
- Water toys — jet ski, seabob, paddleboards, inflatables
- AV, décor and styling for proposals, birthdays or corporate events
- Overtime beyond 8 hours, per hour
- Airport and villa transfers (Benoa sits roughly 30 minutes from Ngurah Rai, a gap a planned flyover is expected to narrow toward ~5 minutes once operational)

Frequently asked day-rate questions
Are Bali yacht day rates per person or per yacht? Per yacht. You charter the whole vessel and crew for the day; guest count only matters against the yacht’s capacity.
How long is a standard charter day? Eight hours is the norm from Benoa. Shorter sunset sessions and longer full-day or overtime blocks are available on request.
Do rates change by season? Yes. July–August and the late-December holiday window are peak. Green and shoulder dates carry softer day rates.
Is fuel included? Coastal cruising near Benoa is typically covered; longer offshore runs to the Nusa islands may add a fuel surcharge, always itemised in advance.
