2027 Note
When planning for 2026-2027, early booking is advisable due to potential variations in vessel availability. The luxury charters, such as Lamima and Prana by Atzaro, are highly sought after. Also, while budget options like Rp 8,000,000 per person speedboat trips exist, they do not match the luxury and exclusivity of a private yacht charter.
