Sunset charter · Benoa Harbour
Bali luxury yacht sunset charter
A private 3–4 hour golden-hour cruise on a crewed motor yacht, timed to reach the Uluwatu cliffs as the light turns.
In short
A Bali luxury yacht sunset charter is a private 3–4 hour golden-hour cruise on a crewed motor yacht from Benoa Harbour, departing roughly two hours before sunset so you reach the Uluwatu cliffs and Nusa Dua channel as the light turns. You charter the whole vessel — per yacht, not per seat.
When to depart
Leave about two hours before sunset
Through the dry and shoulder seasons, sunset lands roughly between 6:00 and 6:30 pm — so most sunset charters leave Benoa Harbour between 4:00 and 4:30 pm.
Transit depends on your vessel's speed and the sea state, so the concierge confirms the exact departure once your yacht and date are locked.
- A relaxed run out Cruise along the Bukit Peninsula before the colour arrives.
- The exact moment Open water off the Uluwatu cliffs as the sun drops.
- An unhurried return A slow, lit run back into Benoa without rushing the crew.
We quote ranges, never fixed minutes we can’t guarantee.
