**A Bali corporate sailing charter is a private, whole-boat hire of a crewed sailing catamaran or yacht from Benoa Harbour for team offsites, client incentives and brand events. You book the entire vessel — not seats — so a group of 10 to 40 sails together under wind power toward Nusa Penida or Lembongan, with catering, branding and a single invoice arranged through your concierge.**
Windward Bali arranges these charters via vetted licensed partners operating from Benoa, the main charter base on Bali’s southeast coast near Nusa Dua and Ngurah Rai international airport. Serangan Harbour serves as a secondary south-Bali launch point. Because sailing catamarans are wide, stable and shaded, they suit corporate groups better than a narrow monohull — more deck space for mingling, presentations and a buffet, less heel underway.
Why choose a sailing catamaran for a corporate group?
Catamarans win on capacity and comfort. Two hulls mean flat, wide decks, a saloon that doubles as a meeting space out of the sun, and stable footing for guests who are not sailors. Nearly all Bali leisure charters are captained and crewed, so nobody in your team needs a boating licence to book — you host, the crew sails.
The brand voice here is silence under sail. A speedboat reaches Nusa Penida from Benoa in about 90 minutes; a sailing vessel takes longer, and that is the point. Day-sail schedules balance sail-time against anchor-and-snorkel time, so a corporate charter is a slower, wind-powered experience — good for conversation, not a dash across the strait.
Group size vs vessel: which boat fits your team?
Use this table to match headcount to vessel class. Capacities are indicative and vary by specific boat, coast-guard certification and whether you want seating for a plated lunch versus a standing canapé format. Confirm the exact certified capacity of the assigned vessel at booking.
| Group size | Recommended vessel | Format that works best | Typical day duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6–10 | Day-sail catamaran (mid-size) | Small leadership offsite, client thank-you | 6–8 hours |
| 10–20 | Large sailing catamaran | Team day, incentive reward, product reveal | 7–8 hours |
| 20–40 | Two catamarans in convoy | Department event, dealer incentive, conference add-on | 6–8 hours |
| 40+ | Multi-boat fleet (staggered) | Whole-company day, branded regatta format | Full day |
For groups above a single vessel’s certified limit, a two-or-more-boat convoy keeps everyone on the water the same day — often run as a friendly branded “regatta” between hulls.
What does a Bali corporate sailing charter cost?
Prices below are indicative, dated 2026 and drawn from charter marketplaces and listing sites — not official government or marina tariff sheets. Private sailing charters are priced per whole boat, not per person, which is why per-head cost drops sharply as your group fills the vessel. Peak dates (July–August and Christmas–New Year) command premium rates and tighter availability, so book those windows early.
| Option | Indicative rate (per boat, 2026) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Bali rental entry point | from about EUR 676 per day | Smaller vessels, shorter windows |
| Mid-size day-trip sailing catamaran | about USD 1,500–3,500+ | Varies by size, season, itinerary |
| Larger catamaran (per platform data) | around EUR 2,167 per day | Higher-capacity corporate configuration |
| High-end example listing | up to USD 5,750 per day | Premium vessel, full crew |
| Hourly listings (reference) | USD 140 / 160 / 170 per hour | Short sunset or harbour sessions |
For context, full-day private speedboat charters commonly run about USD 900–1,400, though that figure is not sail-specific — sailing vessels are hired for the experience, not the speed. Always treat these as starting points; your final quote depends on vessel, date, catering and group size, and every figure here is “as of 2026, subject to change.”
What can you add to a corporate charter?
Because you hold the whole boat, the day is yours to brand and program:
- Catering — plated lunch, canapé and cocktail service, or a dietary-tailored menu, arranged through licensed partners.
- Branding — sail or deck signage, branded welcome kits, a photographer or videographer for content capture.
- Program — a short on-deck presentation in the shaded saloon, an awards moment at the sunset turn, snorkelling stops at Manta Point or Crystal Bay.
- Logistics — hotel-to-harbour transfers for the group, a single reconciled invoice, and a named coordinator on the day.
- Itinerary — a classic Nusa Penida loop (Manta Point, Crystal Bay, Kelingking views) or a shorter Nusa Lembongan snorkelling and island-hopping run.
How booking a corporate charter works
- Send your brief. Message the Bali Premium Trip concierge on WhatsApp with headcount, target date, and what the day is for — incentive, offsite, client event.
- Get a vessel-matched quote. You receive a whole-boat option (or convoy) sized to your group, with a dated, itemised rate and catering choices.
- Confirm and hold. A deposit secures the vessel and date; peak windows are held first-come, so early confirmation matters in July–August.
- Finalise the program. Lock catering, branding, transfers and the itinerary; the concierge issues a single company invoice for accounts.
- Sail day. Your group meets at Benoa (or Serangan), the crew handles the boat and safety, and you run your event on the water.
The 2027 angle: why timing matters now
Benoa Marina began construction in 2025, with Phase 1 expected in Q4 2025 and full capacity of 180 berths anticipated by mid-2026 — positioned as Bali’s first full-service yacht marina supporting both sailing and motor yachts. Alongside Nusa Penida e-ticketing reshaping day-sail logistics, this is expanding berth access and formalising departures for 2027 corporate charters. Planning a 2027 event on a larger catamaran now means locking capacity before demand tightens around the new marina.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many people fit on a corporate sailing charter in Bali?
A single large sailing catamaran from Benoa typically hosts 10–20 guests comfortably for a corporate day, with smaller mid-size cats suiting 6–10. For 20–40 or more, a two-or-more-boat convoy keeps the group together on the same day. Always confirm the assigned vessel’s certified capacity at booking.
Can you invoice a company directly for a team charter?
Yes. Because a private sailing charter is a whole-boat hire, your concierge consolidates the vessel, catering, transfers and add-ons into a single company invoice. Send your billing details when you confirm, and Bali Premium Trip arranges the paperwork through its licensed operating partners.
Do we need catering and branding, or can we bring our own?
Both work. You can add plated or canapé catering and on-deck branding through vetted partners, or coordinate your own with the concierge for the assigned vessel. Discuss it in your brief so galley space, service crew and any signage are confirmed before sail day.
When is the best time to book a corporate charter?
The dry season, May to September, is best for Bali sailing, with peak demand and premium rates in July–August and around Christmas–New Year. High-season days average about 85°F (29°C). Book peak windows well ahead, as whole-boat availability for larger groups tightens first — figures as of 2026, subject to change.
