Overnight Yacht Charter Bali to Nusa Penida
**An overnight yacht charter from Bali to Nusa Penida is a single-night, stay-aboard vacation: you board a crewed motor yacht or catamaran at Benoa or Serangan by late afternoon, cruise roughly 40 minutes to an anchorage off Nusa Penida or Nusa Lembongan, and wake the next morning to snorkel before returning — dinner, cabin and crew included.**
This is the shortest way to actually sleep on the water off Nusa Penida rather than day-tripping back to Bali by nightfall. If you have one night to spare and want the sunset-to-sunrise version — cocktails on deck as the light drops, a quiet anchorage, coffee at first light over Broken Beach or Crystal Bay — this page is built for you. It is arranged through the Bali Premium Trip concierge, with the vessel supplied via vetted licensed partners.
What does a one-night overnight charter to Nusa Penida include?
A one-night overnight charter is priced as a stay-aboard experience, not a transfer. You are paying for the cabin, the crew’s time across two half-days and one night, and the anchorage — not just the crossing. Boatcrowd’s Bali itinerary notes that a motor yacht departing Benoa Harbour reaches Nusa Penida in “roughly 40 minutes,” with a morning snorkel or dive at Manta Point, so the sailing time itself is short; the value sits in the night at anchor.
Here is what a typical single-night program covers, based on the crewed-charter service pattern that operates from Benoa and Serangan:
| Element | What’s included aboard |
|---|---|
| Vessel | Crewed motor yacht, sailing catamaran or phinisi, chartered privately |
| Crew | Captain plus hospitality crew (LuxuryPhinisi confirms “full crew” on its Benoa departures) |
| Cabins | Private sleeping cabin(s) for an overnight at anchor |
| Meals | Sunset dinner aboard plus next-morning breakfast; cocktails on deck |
| Water activities | Snorkel gear; morning snorkel or dive at Manta Point |
| Anchorage | Sheltered overnight anchorage off Nusa Penida or Nusa Lembongan |
| Concierge | Booking handled directly by the Bali Premium Trip reservations team |
Park and conservation fees may apply depending on where you anchor and snorkel, and these are confirmed at booking rather than quoted as a fixed figure here.
What does the sunset-to-sunrise schedule look like?
The appeal of one night aboard is the rhythm: you leave Bali as the working day ends and you are at anchor, drink in hand, before dinner. Benoa Harbour to Nusa Lembongan is 18 nautical miles according to World Yacht Charter, and the run to Nusa Penida is around 40 minutes by motor yacht per Boatcrowd — short enough that late-afternoon boarding still puts you at a calm anchorage by sunset.
| Time (indicative) | Overnight charter moment |
|---|---|
| 15:30–16:00 | Board at Benoa or Serangan; welcome briefing and cast off |
| 16:30–17:00 | Cruise south-east toward Nusa Penida / Nusa Lembongan |
| 17:30 | Anchor set; sunset cocktails on deck |
| 19:30 | Dinner served aboard at anchor |
| 21:00+ | Quiet night on the water under the stars |
| 06:30 | Sunrise and coffee at anchor |
| 08:00 | Morning snorkel — Manta Point, Crystal Bay area |
| 10:30–11:00 | Return cruise to Bali; disembark |
Times are indicative and set by your captain around tide, wind and the day’s sea state — the crew adjusts the plan on the water. Named Nusa Penida sights within easy reach of these anchorages include Broken Beach, the Goa Giri Putri cave, Crystal Bay and Manta Point.
Overnight (1 night) vs multi-night charter — which fits you?
A single overnight is a taste; two or more nights opens the route onward. If you want to run Bali → Nusa Penida → the Gili Islands and Lombok, or push toward Komodo, that is a multi-night program — a different page and a different quote. Here is the honest comparison so you book the right one:
| Overnight (1 night) | Multi-night (2+ nights) | |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | First-timers, short escapes, a milestone dinner aboard | Honeymoons, island-hopping, Gili/Lombok/Komodo routes |
| Islands covered | Nusa Penida / Nusa Lembongan | Penida, Gili, Lombok, onward to Komodo |
| On-water time | ~40 min out, one night at anchor | Multiple crossings, several anchorages |
| Pace | One sunset, one sunrise | Unhurried, changes scenery daily |
| Indicative cost | Lower — shortest stay-aboard band | Higher — scales with nights and route |
| Route example | Benoa → Nusa Penida → Benoa | Benoa → Sanur → Lembongan → 3 Gilis → Senggigi (WI Yachts 8-day pattern) |
For reference on pricing scale: the only firmly citable published rate we have is LuxuryPhinisi’s four-hour private phinisi sunset cruise from Benoa Harbour, with cocktails, light dinner and full crew, offered year-round for up to 12 guests. A full overnight sits above that day-cruise band because it adds cabins, dinner-plus-breakfast and a night of crew time. We do not publish a fixed overnight figure because no verified single-night rate exists to quote — the concierge gives you a live, dated quote for your dates and guest count. All figures here are indicative as of 2026 and subject to change.
How booking an overnight charter works
Booking is handled directly by the Bali Premium Trip reservations team. There is no online checkout for a stay-aboard charter — availability, vessel and price move with the calendar, so it is confirmed person-to-person.
- Message the concierge. Send your dates, number of guests and departure preference (Benoa or Serangan) via WhatsApp to 6281128590000 or email sales@balipremiumtrip.com.
- Get a dated quote. The team confirms a suitable crewed vessel from vetted licensed partners and returns an all-in indicative rate for your night, valid for a stated window.
- Confirm the plan. You lock the vessel, cabin configuration, dinner preferences and any park or conservation fees applicable to your anchorage.
- Board and stay aboard. Arrive at the harbour by late afternoon; the captain runs the sunset-to-sunrise program and adjusts to the sea state.
When can you go, and what should you know?
The Benoa phinisi service is marketed as year-round by LuxuryPhinisi, and crewed overnight charters run across the seasons. That said, sea state governs comfort at anchor: your captain reads the wind and tide and may recommend a Lembongan-side anchorage over an exposed Penida bay on a rougher night. Treat any month-by-month “high or low season” pricing you see elsewhere with caution — we do not quote seasonal price splits as fact, only general sailing-window guidance.
A note on infrastructure: construction has begun on phase one of the Bali Benoa Marina per YachtCharterFleet, and Benoa is an established cruise port with published schedules on CruiseMapper — so the departure hub itself is being upgraded for the years ahead.
