Rate comparison
185 Komodo vessels surveyed. Published starting rates, by tier, with the 40 that publish nothing named as such.
What We Do For You
Three things, none of which cost you anything on top of the charter rate. The vessel and the contract are the operator's; the comparison is ours.
We survey what Komodo operators publish, shortlist the vessels that actually fit your dates and group, and hand the enquiry over. You deal with the operator directly from there.
- Rates you are quoted are the operator's own — nothing is added.
- The shortlist is built from published figures, not from who pays most.
- If a charter is the wrong answer for you, we will say so.
Six things this site is for
Some of these are the comparison; some are the awkward questions nobody else asks on your behalf.
Shortlisting
Dates, group size and priorities narrow the fleet fast. Most enquiries have fewer real options than people expect.
Timing advice
Which months suit your priorities, and how far ahead the boats you want actually go.
The awkward questions
Certification, insurance, life-raft capacity and where park fees sit. Asked before you commit, not after.
Honest alternatives
Open trips, day charters and dive liveaboards, where those serve you better than a whole vessel.
Handover
The enquiry goes to the operator with your dates attached. The contract is theirs and yours, not ours.
Depending on what you know
Most people arrive at one of these four points.
No idea yet
Read the guide first
The charter guide and the prices page between them answer the two questions everyone opens with.
Dates fixed
Send the dates
Availability is the binding constraint in this market. With dates we can say what is genuinely free, usually within a day.
Budget fixed
Send the number
Rates run USD 1,550 to 20,000 a night. A budget narrows the tier immediately and saves everyone time.
Vessel in mind
Name the boat
If you have seen a specific yacht, we can tell you who operates it and what it actually costs.
None of these commit you to anything. Nothing is held until a contract is signed and a deposit clears with the operator.
What we are not
We are not the operator. We do not own vessels, employ crew, hold insurance or issue the charter agreement. We do not take your payment, and we cannot resolve a dispute on a charter because we are not a party to it. Every one of those sits with the operator, which is exactly why the safety and compliance pages tell you what to ask them for.
Where it gets useful
Diving changes the shortlist more than anything else, because compressors and a dive deck narrow the fleet sharply. So does a group above twenty, an accessibility requirement, or a celebration that needs shipping in from Bali. Those are the enquiries where comparing 185 vessels beats browsing three.

Services, answered
What does this cost me?
Nothing on top. You pay the operator's rate; the operator pays for the introduction.
Do you book it for me?
We pass the enquiry with your dates. The contract, the deposit and the payment are between you and the operator.
Can you get a discount?
Sometimes, on shoulder dates or late availability. Anyone promising a discount before knowing your dates is guessing.
Will you tell me not to charter?
Yes, when that is the honest answer. Several pages here argue for open trips, day boats or dive liveaboards instead.
What do you need from me?
Dates, group size, and what matters most. Those three settle the shortlist faster than anything else.
Send three things
Dates, how many of you, and what matters most. That is enough for a real shortlist rather than a brochure.
