Why Charter a Luxury Yacht in Labuan Bajo?
Labuan Bajo is Indonesia’s premier yacht charter destination. Located in the Flores Sea at the northern gateway to Komodo National Park, this remote port offers unmatched access to pristine islands, world-class diving (Manta Point, Crystal Rock, Batu Bolong), and untouched beaches. Unlike crowded Bali charters, Labuan Bajo provides exclusivity: smaller vessel capacity (visitor cap of 5,000/day in Komodo NP as of 2026), fewer charter companies, and genuine wilderness exploration.
Our yacht charter service eliminates logistics headaches. We handle:
- Bali-to-Labuan Bajo transfers (1.5-hour flight included)
- Komodo National Park permits ($1,300-$1,500 for 3 days)
- Private crew briefing and safety orientation
- All meals with dietary accommodations
- Snorkel/diving equipment and guide services
- Island itinerary customization
