What a private boat day costs in 2026

The “from USD 600” price is real, for a 35 ft speedboat with an outboard and little shade. Here is the honest price, class by class, so you can budget without surprises.

What you are actually buying

A charter day bundles vessel hire, fuel for the route, crew, catering and drinks, marine park fees, transfers, insurance, port dues and the operator’s margin.

When a 12-person day is quoted at USD 950 all-inclusive, one of those lines is being squeezed: usually the food, the crew or the route.

What moves the price

Inside each band

  • Hull age and brand: a 2003 Sunseeker 50 sits at the bottom of the band, a 2021 Princess 50 at the top
  • Chef and drinks: a basic set menu adds USD 80–140; a six-course tasting with French wine adds USD 600–900
  • Gratuity: budget about 10% of vessel hire, paid on the day

Never accept a quote that

  • Does not name the vessel
  • Leaves out the marine park fee, about USD 8 a guest at Penida
  • Cannot show the captain’s licence

How upgrades add up

Each extra is reasonable on its own. Together they can equal the hire.

About 56% above the headline. The drone photographer is the most-loved upgrade; floating breakfast is photogenic but rarely re-ordered.
