In short

A Benoa Harbour luxury yacht charter is a private, per-yacht day cruise from Bali's main port, roughly 30 minutes from Ngurah Rai airport. The concierge arranges motor-yachts and superyachts for sunsets, proposals and corporate events via Bali Premium Trip and vetted licensed partners — quoted per boat, not per guest.

Why this harbour

Why depart from Benoa Harbour

Benoa is described in industry reporting as Bali's main commercial harbour and primary gateway for visiting yachts. Benoa Marina Bali states it is the only exclusive marina dock in Bali serving yachts, officially registered and licensed by Indonesian authorities.

That is why every ultra-premium day charter is based here rather than at smaller beach launches like Sanur or Serangan.

  • Access About 30 minutes from the airport; a planned flyover is expected to cut that toward roughly five.
  • Capability Bali Benoa Marina broke ground on 22 May 2025: 180 berths, 50 for superyachts up to 90m.
  • Comfort Protected departures, real dock check-in and the whole south-coast day range from one base.

From first message to the dock

How a Benoa departure comes together

Five steps, one concierge — every quote per yacht, with extras itemised.

  1. Step 1

    Send your date and brief

    Date, guest count, occasion and must-haves — private chef, decor, AV — on WhatsApp.

  2. Step 2

    Receive a tailored quote

    A per-yacht quote with vessel options and itemised extras — no per-guest surprises.

  3. Step 3

    Confirm vessel and itinerary

    Lock the yacht, departure time and route: Nusa Dua sunset, Lembongan or a Penida day.

  4. Step 4

    Concierge coordinates logistics

    Hotel transfers, catering and harbour check-in at Benoa are arranged for you.

  5. Departure day

    Board and depart

    Meet your crew at the Benoa dock and cast off into the day range.

For a full day ending in a sunset near Uluwatu or Nusa Dua, we usually advise an earlier departure so the return lands at golden hour.

The Benoa day range

How far you can cruise in a day

Transit depends on vessel speed and sea state, so we quote ranges, not minutes. A larger engine-driven yacht handles building seas far better than a small party boat.

Transit ranges are indicative only; actual times vary with vessel speed and sea state.

Good to know

Benoa charter questions

All questions
What does a Benoa yacht charter cost?

There is no published tariff, so figures are indicative concierge ranges per yacht, as of 2026. A 3–4 hour sunset charter starts from around USD 2,500; full-day Lembongan, Penida and corporate charters are quoted on request.

How far is Benoa Harbour from the airport?

About 30 minutes by road from Ngurah Rai International Airport. A planned flyover project is expected to cut that toward roughly five minutes once operational.

Why not depart from Sanur or Serangan?

Benoa combines deep-water access, licensing and airport proximity, and handles vessels from roughly 40m upward — which is why ultra-premium day charters are based here rather than at smaller beach launches.

Is pricing per guest or per yacht?

Per yacht, the norm across the market. Fuel, crew, catering, water toys, AV and concierge extras are itemised on your quote.
