How we chose the best yachts for couples

A couple charters the whole yacht, so the question is not price per guest but how much private space you get for your budget. We ranked yachts with 3 cabins or fewer and a guest capacity of 8 or less, then compared length, build year and price per night.

The list runs from a yacht built for exactly two people to small yachts that also work if you bring another couple. Several of these yachts sail both Komodo and Raja Ampat, while Lambo and Kelana 2 are listed for Komodo only.

Alexa ranks first for honeymoons because it is the only yacht in our fleet set up for exactly two guests, so the whole layout is designed around one couple. Sanya ranks best overall for couples who want a newer yacht with a spare cabin, and Kelana 2 is the lowest priced way to have a private yacht to yourselves.

• 3 cabins or fewer, so the yacht feels private.
• Length relative to the number of guests.
• Recent build years where possible.
• A spread from accessible to high end prices.

What couples should compare

Space per guest is the real luxury. Si Datu Bua is 40.2 m long but carries only 6 guests, and Sanya is 36 m for 5 guests, so a couple on board has far more deck than on a larger yacht shared with a group.

Decide if you will invite friends. Alexa has one cabin for two, which is ideal for a honeymoon but rules out guests. Dewata and Oracle each have 3 cabins, so another couple or two can join later without changing yachts.

Pick the region by month. Komodo is best from April to November and starts from Labuan Bajo, about 1h15 from Bali. Raja Ampat is best from October to April and starts from Sorong. A charter stays in one region.

Budget honestly. Because you pay for the whole yacht, a couple on Si Datu Bua pays the same nightly price as a group of six. If you want the most yacht for your money as a pair, Sanya and Senja give a recent build at US$6,200 per night, while Lambo and Kelana 2 keep the total cost lower. Our cabin charters page covers sharing options on select yachts if you prefer to pay per cabin.

Couples yacht prices compared

Prices are for the whole yacht per night and include crew, meals and fuel for the standard route. Park fees, diving, alcohol and gratuity are extra. Per guest figures assume a full yacht; for two guests, halve the nightly price instead.

Booking tips for a honeymoon charter

Book early if your wedding date fixes your travel window, especially for Komodo from May to October. Three nights is the minimum we recommend in Komodo and 5 nights is the sweet spot. In Raja Ampat, 5 to 7 nights is typical.

Payment usually works as 50% to confirm and 50% 60 days before departure, with final terms in a written charter agreement. Plan a crew tip of about 10% of the charter fee. Tell us it is a honeymoon when you enquire so the crew can plan the trip around you.

Consider a 5 night Komodo charter as a first honeymoon trip, since it is close to Bali and leaves time for a few days ashore before or after.
