Private charter in Komodo: the whole boat for your team, priced by head count

Cost per head is simply the boat rate divided by the people aboard. For 3D2N: Zada Mega at 10 guests is IDR 85,000,000 · about USD 5,215 for the boat and IDR 8,500,000 · about USD 521 per person. Zada Zen at 12 is IDR 85,000,000 · about USD 5,215 and IDR 7,080,000 · about USD 434 per person. Zada Nara at 14 is IDR 105,000,000 · about USD 6,442 and IDR 7,500,000 · about USD 460 per person.

Zada Ulla is where the share falls. At 14 guests it is IDR 6,790,000 · about USD 417 per person. At 20 it is IDR 5,500,000 · about USD 337, at 25 it is IDR 5,400,000 · about USD 331 and at 28 it is IDR 5,710,000 · about USD 350. Between 20 and 28 guests Zada Ulla has the lowest cost per head of any boat or pair in the fleet, and the lowest of all is at 25.

Ask for the line that matches your head count, not the nearest one. A head count that sits one name above a band edge, 21 guests on Zada Ulla for example, costs IDR 6,430,000 · about USD 394 per person, against IDR 5,500,000 · about USD 337 at 20. We quote both sides of an edge when the list is still moving.

A party of 4 pays the full boat: on Zada Ulla at 4 guests the share is IDR 23,750,000 · about USD 1,457. That is why small teams start with Zada Mega and Zada Zen, or with an open-trip seat.

One list covers all four boats, with the differences marked by boat.

In the rate, every boat:

• the whole boat with its chef and crew
• transfers between the harbour and the boat
• meals on board: 4 on a 2D1N, 7 on a 3D2N and 10 on a 4D3N
• free-flow mineral water, coffee and tea
• snorkelling equipment and life jackets

Also in the rate on Zada Ulla and Zada Nara: a karaoke sound system, Smart TV, local Wi-Fi, a paddle board and a kayak. Zada Mega lists a karaoke area too; any item your programme needs on Zada Zen is confirmed in writing before you pay.

Out of the rate, every boat: flights to Labuan Bajo, a hotel and meals before and after the sailing, the park ticket and the ranger fee, personal expenses and crew tips. On a private charter the guide and photo and video documentation are not included; they are arranged on request and quoted separately. Park tickets and ranger fees are never in the fare.

Priced extras: on Zada Zen and Zada Mega, photo and video documentation at IDR 2,000,000 · about USD 123 per day and a local guide at IDR 750,000 · about USD 46 per day; on Zada Ulla and Zada Nara both are quoted separately. Boarding, check-out and the return time on the last day are confirmed in writing; book flights only after that confirmation.

We publish one 2026 price list for each boat; weekday and weekend rates are confirmed per date on request.

The written quote names the boat, the date, the length, the head count and the rate on one line each, so a second approver sees at once what the date changed.

Weekdays are easier to block when several boats are involved, since every boat has to be free on the same date. Ask for two or three dates in the first message and we check them together.

One figure does follow the calendar, and it is not in the fare: park entry for an Indonesian guest is IDR 50,000 on a weekday and IDR 75,000 on a weekend.

If the booked boat cannot sail for a reason beyond our control, we arrange a replacement boat for the same dates, or refund you within 14 days, under the booking terms.

For a company this is the clause that counts, because the date is usually tied to a board calendar or a client visit. A replacement is the same dates on another boat, and the quote for it is written before you agree to it. A refund inside 14 days is the alternative.

Weather is a different question. If the weather changes the route, the captain decides the order of stops and the anchorage on the day, and the trip goes ahead on an alternative plan. That is procedure, and nothing in the rate changes with it.

Two habits protect a company date. Keep a second date in hand until the deposit is paid, and tell us early if the head count moves across a band edge. We confirm class and capacity in the replacement quote.

The deposit is 50 percent of the quote, paid to confirm the date, and the balance is due 30 days before sailing. The invoice is issued by PT Komodo Explorer Indonesia to the company, and VAT of 11 percent is included in the fares. One organiser pays: the company or the EO is the single name on the invoice.

The refund scale and the date-change fee are set out in one table on the how-to-book page.

The ceilings are 28 guests on Zada Ulla, 14 on Zada Nara, 12 on Zada Zen and 10 on Zada Mega. A larger party adds a second boat. Each boat stays its own private charter, booked for the same dates when all are free and quoted per boat; sailing together, a shared anchorage and a joint programme are arranged on request, and the captains set the order and the anchorages.

Fares for 2027 are sent in writing on request.

Weddings, celebrations, stage, decoration, an MC, a band and branded banners are arranged on request and quoted separately; none is part of a fare.

For a toast at dinner, ask us what the karaoke sound system can handle and we confirm it in writing.

If your rooming list needs one berth more than the boat has, that is a second boat, and we tell you in the first reply rather than at the quote stage.
