A LASHA full-boat charter starts at $9,800 per night for up to 14 guests on Komodo leisure routes (minimum two nights), rising by $700 per added guest to $15,400 per night at 22 guests. Komodo park entrance fees add $25 per person per night, and free-of-charge guest slots begin at 15 paying guests.
Most vessels in LASHA’s tier keep their pricing behind an inquiry form — the VVIP superyachts of the Komodo fleet are quote-only as a rule. LASHA publishes her numbers. This guide lays out every 2026–2027 rate band exactly as it appears on the rates page, then works the per-person math for the three group sizes we are asked about most: 14, 18 and 22 guests.
How Is a LASHA Charter Priced?
Two formats, one number. Charter shoppers think per boat per night; open-trip comparers think per person per night. LASHA’s pricing translates cleanly into both: the base is $700 per guest per night for leisure sailings (with a 14-guest minimum charge), which means the whole boat — all 10 ensuite cabins, all four decks of the 52.5-metre, 466 GT phinisi — floors at $9,800 per night. Dive charters run $750 per guest per night, or $10,500 whole-boat. Minimum charter length on the core routes is two nights, and shorter formats exist too: a 2D1N sailing at $900 per guest per night, and a 1-Day charter capped at 16 hours.
The Full 2026–2027 Rate Table
| Route | Minimum | Per guest / night | Whole boat, 1–14 guests | Ceiling at max guests | Park entrance |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Komodo | Alor | Sumbawa | Lombok | Bali — leisure | 2 nights | $700 | $9,800 / night | $15,400 / night (22 guests) | $25 / person / night |
| Komodo | Alor | Sumbawa | Lombok | Bali — dive | 2 nights | $750 | $10,500 / night | $16,500 / night (22 guests) | $25 / person / night |
| Komodo 2D1N | 14 guests | $900 | $12,600 / night | $19,800 / night (22 guests) | $35 / person / night |
| Komodo 1-Day (max 16 hours) | 20 guests | $500 | $10,000 base (1–20 guests) | +$500 / guest to 35 guests | $35 / person / day |
| Raja Ampat | Banda Sea | Wakatobi | Maratua — leisure | 5 nights | $750 | $10,500 / night | $16,500 / night (22 guests) | $25 / person / night |
| Raja Ampat | Banda Sea | Wakatobi | Maratua — dive | 5 nights | $800 | $11,200 / night | $17,600 / night (22 guests) | $25 / person / night |
Rates are valid for 2026 and 2027. Each guest above 14 adds $700 (leisure) or $750 (dive) per night up to 22 guests. A relocation fee applies when boarding in Bali, Lombok, Sumbawa or Alor outside scheduled positioning windows — LASHA’s home port is Labuan Bajo. Park entrance fees are set by the park authority and can change; confirm the latest tariff when booking.
Worked Example: 14 Guests, 3 Days 2 Nights
Fourteen guests is the charter floor, and the math is the simplest. Two nights at $9,800 whole-boat comes to $19,600 — exactly $700 per guest per night, or $1,400 per person for the cruise. Add park entrance at $25 per person per night ($50 per person for two nights) and the all-in figure is $1,450 per person. For context, luxury open-trip cabins in Komodo run around $400–600+ per person per night per operator reporting — LASHA at $700 buys the entire ship, a bespoke route and 10 ensuite cabins for your group alone.
Worked Example: 18 Guests
Eighteen paying guests means the base $9,800 plus four added guests at $700 each: $12,600 per night, $25,200 for a two-night charter. Per person, nothing changes — still $700 per night, $1,450 all-in with two nights of entrance fees — because LASHA’s pricing scales linearly rather than punishing mid-size groups. From 15 paying guests the free-of-charge (FOC) allocation has also begun: complimentary guest slots start at one and rise with group size, trimming the true per-head cost below the sticker rate. The mechanics are worked through in our FOC explainer.
Worked Example: 22 Guests — the Sweet Spot
At 22 paying guests the whole boat prices at $15,400 per night — $30,800 for two nights — and the FOC allocation reaches its maximum of four complimentary guests, bringing 26 people aboard at full capacity. Spread $30,800 across 26 guests and the effective rate is about $1,185 per person for the two-night charter, or roughly $592 per person per night before entrance fees. That lands a private 52.5-metre phinisi below the $400–600+ per-night band that premium shared cabins command, with none of the sharing. Dive groups run the same logic at $16,500 per night for 22.
What About Komodo Entrance Fees in 2026?
LASHA’s charter invoices carry them at $25 per person per night on multi-night routes and $35 per person per night on 2D1N and 1-Day sailings. Behind those figures, the park’s own tariff structure is in flux: the base foreign-visitor fee is cited at IDR 250,000 per person per day under Government Regulation No. 36/2024, while several 2026 operators quote bundled tickets of IDR 650,000–900,000 and sources report a shift to a flat rate from 1 April 2026. We track the moving parts — and what they mean for your invoice — in the 2026 entrance-fee guide.
How Does LASHA Compare With the Wider Market?
Published charter bands put small three-cabin phinisi at USD 1,500–3,000 per night, mid-size luxury vessels at USD 2,500–5,000, and large or ultra-luxury ships at USD 5,000–15,000+, with entry-level deluxe charters starting around Rp 35,000,000 (about USD 2,150) per night. LASHA sits squarely in the large-luxury tier — but charter economics research notes that private boats become per-person competitive with shared trips from about six to twelve guests, and on a 26-guest vessel that curve keeps falling: from 16 guests upward, LASHA’s per-head cost undercuts most premium shared cabins. Deciding between the two models? Start with private charter vs open trip, then see what the rate includes.
