How it works

Your preferences set the course. Our charter consultants turn them into a day-by-day plan, permits and flight connections included.

A pre-departure consultation covers dates, guest list, cuisine and activities. Few clients stop at a template: over 90% choose a fully customised itinerary.

Group size & vessel

The party decides the yacht.

Each option comes with full specifications: cabin configuration, crew-to-guest ratio and onboard facilities.

Two to four guests
An agile catamaran for couples: secluded coves, shallow anchorages and room for spontaneous detours.
Up to 14 guests
A traditional phinisi, some over 40 metres, with en-suite cabins, indoor and outdoor dining, and water-sports gear.
Up to 30 guests
Larger vessels for corporate retreats and special-event day charters.
Crew ratio
Typically one crew member for every two guests on premium charters.

Onboard dining

A private chef, briefed before you board.

Before departure we go through cuisines, flavours, comfort foods and every restriction. Indonesian dishes with traditional spices, or an international menu with Mediterranean or fusion leanings.

Around 80% of fresh produce comes from Balinese markets and sustainable fisheries. Beach barbecues, degustation dinners and wellness menus are planned around the route.

Occasions & themes

Built around an occasion or a passion.

01

Celebrations

Anniversaries, proposals, milestone birthdays and honeymoons: private fireworks, a cake baked on board, a musician, flowers and the wines you name.

02

Dive expeditions

Certified instructors and top-tier equipment. Over 50 renowned dive sites lie within a two-hour cruise of Bali, including the USS Liberty wreck at Tulamben.

03

Wellness

Morning yoga on deck, guided meditation, fresh juices and light, health-conscious menus.

04

Surf & culture

Guided surf to uncrowded breaks, or temples, artisan villages, markets and a private Balinese cooking class.

Accessibility & comfort

Special requirements, planned in.

  • Adapted cabin configurations
  • Help boarding and disembarking
  • Stabilisers to reduce motion
  • Hypoallergenic linens and detergents
  • Storage for medical equipment
  • Individual cabin climate control

About 10% of our bookings include an accessibility request. Crew are trained in basic first aid.

Constraints

What shapes the plan.

Customisation works within a few fixed limits. Plan around them early.

Season
May–September brings calm seas and clear water. October–April is greener and quieter, with clear mornings and passing showers. April and October often offer both.
Capacity
Catamarans take two to four guests, phinisi up to 14. Groups of up to 30 need a larger vessel.
Permits & connections
Protected marine areas need permits; voyages east to Komodo or Raja Ampat need flight connections. We arrange both.
Vessel features
Wider doorways and accessible bathrooms are found on many yachts, not all. Check them against the specification.
Medical access
Where needed, the route is planned with proximity to medical facilities in mind.
