How many cabins for 10–12 guests?

Plan on 5–6 en-suite cabins for 10 guests (usually 4 double + 1 twin, or similar) and 6–7 cabins for 12. Larger phinisi like Mutiara Laut (7 cabins) and The Maj Oceanic (6 cabins) take 12–14 guests comfortably.

How much does a 10–12 guest Komodo charter cost?

Premium 10–12 guest yachts typically run USD 5,000–10,000 per night, with luxury and ultra-luxury yachts USD 12,000–20,000+ per night. Per-person costs on a full-boat 5-night charter often work out to USD 2,000–5,000 per person before park fees, alcohol and diving.

How long should a 10–12 guest charter be?

Five nights is the best-balance length for larger groups — enough to see Padar, Pink Beach, dragons and Manta Point without heavy transits. Seven nights suits groups who want quieter anchorages, more diving and unhurried mornings. Three nights works as a highlights add-on to a Bali stay.

What cabin layouts work for larger groups?

Look for a mix of double, twin and convertible cabins. Multi-generational families do well with a master suite + several twin/convertible cabins. Groups of friends usually prefer all-double + one twin. Cabin plans are on each yacht's detail page.

Are these yachts good for families and mixed groups?

Yes — many 10–12 guest yachts are ideal for multi-generational or two-family bookings. Look for covered decks, convertible cabins, family-friendly crews and dedicated shallow-water toys. See our family yacht guide for detail.

How much lead time do we need to book?

6–12 months for July, August and September; 3–6 months for shoulder months. Larger yachts book earlier because there are fewer of them in the fleet. Owner-confirmed availability applies to every quote.

Can everyone dive on the same charter?

Yes — larger yachts often carry enough tanks and rental gear for 8–10 divers plus non-diving guests, with a dedicated dive tender and 1–2 guides. Confirm the exact dive setup and per-day charges before booking.
