Windward Bali is the booking concierge for wind-powered, whole-boat charters out of south Bali. We are operated by Bali Premium Trip, and vessels are arranged through vetted licensed operators — we are the concierge that matches you to the right sailboat and crew, not the asset owner. Every rate below is indicative and dated 2026, subject to change with season and availability.
How do you contact a Bali sailing charter?
The fastest channel is WhatsApp. A short message with your dates and group size is usually enough to start a quote.
- WhatsApp: +62 811-2859-0000 (chat or voice note; quickest for date checks)
- Email: sales@balipremiumtrip.com (best for detailed itineraries and company bookings)
- Departure points: Benoa Harbour (main charter base) and Serangan Harbour (secondary launch)
- Response window: typically a few hours during Bali hours (GMT+8); overnight messages are answered the next morning
Because charters here are crewed and captained, you do not need a boating licence to book — a strong reason most guests simply message us with a date rather than a sailing résumé.
What can the concierge desk help you arrange?
We handle the wind-powered side of Bali charter: crewed sailing yachts and sailing catamarans hired per boat, not per person. That means the whole vessel and crew are yours for the booking.
Common requests we quote every week:
- Sunset sails off Benoa and the south-Bali coast
- Full-day sailing charters toward Nusa Penida and Nusa Lembongan for snorkelling and island-hopping
- Skippered overnight charters with anchor-and-stay time
- Monohull-versus-catamaran comparisons for stability, deck space and budget
If you want a motor yacht, a phinisi, or a shared join-an-itinerary trip, those sit on our sibling sites — just ask and we will point you to the right desk. Windward Bali stays focused on sail power: the slower, quieter experience where the engine goes off and the boat moves on wind.
What are the sailing-charter options and indicative rates?
Prices below are per boat, dated 2026, and pulled from charter marketplaces and cruising sources rather than official tariff sheets. Treat them as starting signals; your quote depends on vessel, season and route.
| Charter option | Typical duration | Indicative rate (per boat, 2026) | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sunset sail | 2–3 hours | Bali rentals from about EUR 676/day tier | Couples, small groups |
| Full-day sailing charter (Nusa Penida / Lembongan) | 7–9 hours | Mid-size day catamarans about USD 1,500–3,500+ | Families, snorkel days |
| Premium catamaran day charter | Full day | Around EUR 2,167/day | Larger groups, events |
| Entry private yacht example | Full day | From about USD 600/day | Budget-minded day sailors |
| High-end yacht example | Full day | Up to about USD 5,750/day | Luxury charters |
A quick note on timing: Nusa Penida sits roughly 90 minutes from Benoa by motor yacht, and longer under sail. That is by design. A sailing day balances real sail-time against anchor-and-snorkel time at spots like Manta Point, Crystal Bay and Kelingking Beach, so schedules are built around wind, not a speedboat dash.
Season matters for both price and availability. The dry season runs May to September, with peak demand in July and August plus the Christmas–New Year window — expect premium rates and tighter boats on those dates. High-season averages sit near 85°F (about 29°C); the wetter October-to-April stretch is quieter and often better value.
How does booking a sailing charter work?
The path from first message to boarding pass is short:
- Message us on WhatsApp (+62 811-2859-0000) with your date, group size and departure preference.
- Tell us the vibe — sunset cruise, full-day snorkel run, or overnight — and whether you lean monohull or catamaran.
- Receive options and a per-boat quote, with vessel photos, capacity and inclusions.
- Confirm with a deposit processed through a vetted licensed partner; balance terms are set out in writing.
- Get your boarding details — meeting point at Benoa or Serangan, timing and crew contact — usually the day before departure.
Where do sailing charters depart in Bali?
Benoa Harbour, on Bali’s southeast coast near Nusa Dua and Ngurah Rai International Airport, is the main charter base and the easiest meeting point for most guests. Serangan Harbour is the secondary south-Bali launch. Benoa is also where the region’s charter logistics are shifting: 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 marina for both sailing and motor yachts. Alongside Nusa Penida e-ticketing, that build is reshaping day-sail logistics heading into 2027, which is exactly why we lock departure details in writing before you travel.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly will the Bali sailing charter team reply?
During Bali business hours (GMT+8), WhatsApp messages to +62 811-2859-0000 are usually answered within a few hours, often much faster. Emails to sales@balipremiumtrip.com can take a little longer, especially for detailed itineraries. Messages sent overnight are picked up the next morning. In peak July–August, replies stay quick but boats book out fast.
Do I need a boating licence to charter a sailing yacht in Bali?
No. Nearly all Bali leisure charters, including the sailing yachts and catamarans we arrange, are captained and fully crewed. You book the whole boat and the crew handles navigation, sailing and safety. That makes booking simple — you just tell us the date and route, and step aboard at Benoa or Serangan as a guest.
What details should I include when I message about a sailing charter?
Share four things and we can quote almost immediately: your date, the number of guests, your departure preference (Benoa or Serangan), and the experience you want — sunset sail, full-day Nusa Penida or Lembongan run, or a skippered overnight. Mentioning whether you prefer a monohull or a catamaran, plus any budget guide, speeds the shortlist further.
Is WhatsApp or email better for booking a Bali sailing charter?
Use WhatsApp (+62 811-2859-0000) for speed — date checks, quick quotes and last-minute availability during peak season. Use email (sales@balipremiumtrip.com) when you need a written itinerary, company invoicing, or a detailed multi-boat plan. Both reach the same Bali Premium Trip concierge team; many guests start on WhatsApp and confirm the paperwork by email.
