Contact Ironwood Sails — Your Bali Phinisi Charter Desk
**To contact a phinisi charter in Bali, message the Bali Premium Trip reservations team on WhatsApp at 6281128590000 or email sales@balipremiumtrip.com. Send your date, group size, charter type and departure harbour (Benoa or Serangan), and you get a flat full-boat quote — not a per-person price. Most enquiries are answered within a few business hours.**
Ironwood Sails is the Bali-departure booking desk for private, full-boat traditional phinisi schooner charters. We are a concierge desk, not the boat owner — every vessel is operated by Bali Premium Trip or arranged through vetted licensed partners. That means when you write to us, you reach the people who actually hold the availability calendar and issue the quote, so nothing gets lost in a chain of middlemen.
How do I reach the reservations team?
Pick whichever channel suits you. All three land with the same reservations desk that operates the boats.
| Channel | Contact | Best for | Typical response |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6281128590000 | Fast availability checks, sharing a date, quick back-and-forth | Within a few business hours | |
| sales@balipremiumtrip.com | Detailed briefs, corporate/wedding RFPs, attachments | Same or next business day | |
| Enquiry form | Fields below | Structured first contact with all the details in one go | Same or next business day |
WhatsApp is the quickest for a real conversation about your date. Email suits longer, document-heavy requests — a wedding run sheet, a corporate agenda, a proposal timeline. Whatever you choose, the more specific you are up front, the faster a firm number comes back.
What should I put in my enquiry?
A phinisi charter out of Bali is quoted as a flat full-boat rate, so the quote depends on a few concrete details. Give us these and we can move straight to checking the calendar instead of trading a dozen questions first.
- Charter date (and a backup) — high-demand dates such as weekends and holidays fill early, so a second option helps.
- Group size — total guests boarding, including children, so we match you to the right vessel.
- Charter type — sunset dinner, proposal, wedding, corporate event, Nusa Penida day-sail, a Nusa Penida–Lombok overnight, or a Bali→Komodo repositioning voyage.
- Departure harbour — Benoa or Serangan (details below).
- Duration — a few sunset hours, a full day, or multiple days.
- Extras — catering style, dietary needs, decoration for a celebration, transfers, or alcohol requests.
You do not need every field to reach out. If you only know the date and rough group size, send that — we will fill the gaps together.
Which harbour do charters depart from?
Ironwood Sails works two neighbouring harbours on Bali’s southern tip. According to cruising guidance for Bali, Benoa sits on the eastern side of the southern tip and is the island’s official Port of Entry for visiting yachts, where customs, immigration and quarantine are handled. Bali Marina at Benoa is a managed yacht facility, and yacht-industry media report Benoa Marina is being developed as a major base for Indonesia yacht charters.
That same cruising guidance notes that after clearing formalities at Benoa, yachts are advised to move to Serangan Harbour — about 1 km north of Benoa — which offers two anchorage areas, good shelter and a practical base for smaller vessels.
| Departure harbour | Where it is | Why it is used |
|---|---|---|
| Benoa Harbour | Eastern side of Bali’s southern tip | Official Port of Entry; managed Bali Marina yacht facility |
| Serangan Harbour | About 1 km north of Benoa | Sheltered anchorage, two anchorage areas, practical for smaller phinisi |
Your confirmation message will name the exact boarding point, meeting time and what to bring. If you need a car transfer from your villa or hotel to the harbour, mention it — transfers can be arranged and are billed separately unless we confirm otherwise.
What does a Bali phinisi charter cost?
Bali phinisi charters are priced as a flat full-boat rate rather than per person, and the figures below are indicative starting points, not firm quotes. One Bali phinisi operator publicly advertises a Benoa-departure day cruise “From IDR 18,000,000 (18M)” — roughly USD 1,100–1,200 at recent typical exchange rates, an informed estimate rather than an official conversion. This is currently the only directly citable Bali phinisi day-cruise price point, so treat sunset, overnight and repositioning figures as ranges that need a firm quote from the reservations team. All prices are as of 2026 and subject to change.
| Charter type | Typical duration | Indicative rate (as of 2026) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full-day Benoa day cruise | ~6–8 hours | From IDR 18,000,000 (~USD 1,100–1,200) | Only directly citable Bali reference point |
| Sunset / dinner charter | ~3–4 hours | Request a quote | Popular for proposals and celebrations |
| Wedding / corporate buyout | Full day, flexible | Request a quote | Priced to run sheet, guest count, extras |
| Nusa Penida–Lombok overnight | 1–2+ nights | Request a quote | Cruising areas near Bali per guidance |
| Bali→Komodo repositioning | Multi-day | Request a quote | Multi-day route east to the Flores Sea |
State plainly to yourself before booking: fuel, port fees, mooring, marine and national-park fees (marine/national-park fees apply for Nusa Penida and Komodo visits), alcohol and transfers may be billed separately unless we confirm them included. We spell out inclusions in writing before you commit.
How does booking actually work?
- Send your enquiry. WhatsApp 6281128590000, email, or the form fields above — with date, group size, charter type and harbour.
- We check availability. The reservations team confirms whether your date and a suitable vessel are open.
- You receive a flat full-boat quote. One transparent number, with inclusions and any separate fees stated clearly.
- You confirm and secure the date. The team explains the deposit and payment terms directly.
- You get your charter brief. Boarding harbour (Benoa or Serangan), meeting time, itinerary and what to bring, all in writing.
- You sail. The Bali Premium Trip crew handles the day on the water.
Indonesian phinisi cruises are marketed year-round across private charters and multiple regions, so there is no single “closed” season to plan around — though detailed month-by-month Bali sea-state data is not something we claim to have on record, so treat any dry-season guidance as general rather than precise.
