Pricing and Charter Inclusions
Our pricing structure is designed for transparency, reflecting a comprehensive, all-inclusive luxury experience. We believe the focus should be on your journey, not on unforeseen expenses. Each charter is meticulously planned to ensure every detail is accounted for, from gourmet provisions to the professional crew dedicated to your service. Below, we clarify what is encompassed within your private electric yacht charter.
What is included in the charter price?
Your charter fee is inclusive of the private use of the yacht, a professional captain and crew, fuel for the electric motors and tender, and all onboard amenities. Gourmet meals, a curated selection of non-alcoholic beverages, snacks, and standard water sports equipment such as paddleboards and snorkelling gear are also included. We aim for a seamless experience with no hidden costs, allowing you to relax and immerse yourself in the journey from the moment you step aboard.
Are taxes and gratuities included in the final price?
All relevant local taxes and port fees for standard itineraries around Bali’s southern coast are included in our quoted price. Gratuity for the crew is not included and remains at your discretion. Should you wish to acknowledge the exceptional service of your crew, a gratuity of 10-15% of the charter fee is customary in the industry, though entirely optional. This can be settled at the end of your charter.
Can you accommodate specific dietary requirements?
Absolutely. Our onboard chef is adept at crafting bespoke menus tailored to any dietary need, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or specific allergies. We gather this information through a detailed preference sheet prior to your departure to ensure every meal is a culinary delight that meets your exact requirements. We pride ourselves on sourcing fresh, local Balinese produce to enhance your dining experience.
The Booking Process and Logistics
Securing your electric yacht Bali charter is a straightforward and personalised process. Our concierge team works closely with you to understand your desires, from the ideal dates to the perfect itinerary. We handle the intricate details, ensuring a smooth transition from land to sea. The journey begins with a simple conversation about your vision for exploring Bali’s pristine coastlines.
How do I book an electric yacht charter?
The process begins with an enquiry to our concierge team. We will discuss your preferred dates, group size, and desired itinerary. Once we have tailored a proposal that meets your approval, a charter agreement is issued. A 50% deposit confirms your booking, with the final balance typically due 30 days prior to embarkation. Our team guides you through each step, ensuring complete clarity and ease.
Where do the charters depart from?
Most of our charters depart from the calm, protected waters of Serangan Harbour in South Bali, which provides easy access to the stunning coastlines of the Bukit Peninsula and the nearby islands of Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Penida. We can also arrange departures from other locations, such as Benoa Harbour, subject to vessel availability and sea conditions. We provide precise location details upon booking confirmation.
Can you arrange for airport or hotel transfers?
Yes, seamless logistics are a core part of our service. We can arrange for private, air-conditioned vehicle transfers from Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS) or your hotel anywhere in Bali to the yacht’s embarkation point. Please let our concierge team know your requirements during the booking process, and we will ensure your journey to the harbour is comfortable and punctual.
Sustainability and Green Technology
Our commitment to sustainability is the very foundation of our fleet. An electric yacht is not merely a vessel; it is a statement of intent to preserve the fragile marine ecosystems we are privileged to explore. By harnessing advanced electric propulsion, we eliminate noise pollution, emissions, and the risk of fuel spills, offering a cruising experience that is in true harmony with nature. This is the future of responsible marine tourism.
How exactly is the yacht ‘electric’?
Our vessels are equipped with state-of-the-art electric propulsion systems powered by high-capacity lithium-ion battery banks. These banks are charged by a combination of shore power and onboard, high-efficiency, low-emission generators that run only when necessary. This allows for hours of silent, emission-free cruising, protecting Bali’s delicate coral reefs and marine life from the noise and pollution associated with conventional diesel engines. It is a profoundly different way to experience the sea.
What is the real environmental impact of an electric yacht?
The primary benefit is the significant reduction in carbon footprint and the complete elimination of underwater noise pollution, which is highly disruptive to marine mammals like dolphins and whales. By negating the risk of diesel or oil spills, we protect coral reefs and coastal ecosystems. Our operational practices, from waste management to sourcing local provisions, are also governed by a strict sustainability code, ensuring our impact on Bali’s environment is minimal.
Safety and the Onboard Experience
Your safety and comfort are our paramount concerns. Each vessel in our curated collection is maintained to the highest international maritime standards and crewed by seasoned professionals. Our captains possess intimate knowledge of Balinese waters, from the tranquil bays of Nusa Lembongan to the majestic cliffs of Uluwatu. We ensure that every aspect of your journey is not only luxurious but also impeccably safe.
What safety measures are in place on board?
Every yacht in our fleet adheres to stringent international safety standards (SOLAS). They are equipped with modern navigation systems, life rafts, life jackets for all guests, fire suppression systems, and comprehensive first-aid kits. Before departure, your captain will provide a thorough safety briefing. Our crew is professionally trained in first aid, emergency procedures, and sea rescue, ensuring you are in the most capable hands.
Can we customise our itinerary?
Bespoke itineraries are our speciality. While we offer curated routes that showcase the best of Bali, we encourage you to tailor the journey to your interests. Whether you wish to spend more time exploring the manta ray cleaning stations off Nusa Penida, discovering secluded beaches, or enjoying a sunset cruise along the Seminyak coast, our captain will work with you to craft the perfect, personalised voyage, always factoring in safety and prevailing sea conditions.
Is the charter suitable for families with young children?
Yes, a private electric yacht charter is a wonderful experience for families. The quiet cruising is less disruptive for little ones, and the privacy allows for quality family time. We can provide child-sized life vests and tailor activities and menus to suit younger guests. Please inform us of your children’s ages and any specific needs during booking so we can make the necessary preparations for their safety and enjoyment.
