Thirteen to fifteen guests: the grey zone
For 13 or 14 guests, both boats fit. Carnaby 1 is the lower whole-boat rate: IDR 75,000,000 (≈ USD 4,601) for 14 guests, against IDR 129,000,000 (≈ USD 7,914) on Carnaby 2. What you're trading is money for space. Carnaby 2 gives you 10 cabins and four balcony-and-bathtub cabins for 14 people, so every couple has a cabin to itself.
At 15 things change. Carnaby 1 would use the extra bed in the Master Cabin, and the 15th guest's price is quoted in writing because the rate list stops at 14. Carnaby 2's 13 to 16 band covers 15 at IDR 129,000,000 (≈ USD 7,914) for the whole boat, IDR 8,600,000 (≈ USD 528) per person.
Which boat fits which party
Neither boat wins on every count. Start from the headcount, then read the two lists below, one per boat.
Carnaby 1 Phinisi
Best for
- a birthday or friends' trip of up to 14 guests on a whole-boat private charter, 15 with the extra bed in the Master Cabin
- a proposal party of 1 to 6, which pays the lowest band
- a celebration that wants a balcony for the guest of honour in the Master Cabin
- 13 or 14 guests, where Carnaby 1 is the lower whole-boat rate
Less suited to
- a reunion of 15 relatives or more: the rate list stops at 14, and Carnaby 2 takes up to 21
- guests who each want a balcony: only the Master Cabin has one
Choose the other boat if
- you book a Sharing Cabin on an open trip and expect a private room: it sleeps four
- you plan a group of 16: the boat has beds for 15 at most
Carnaby 2 Phinisi
Best for
- a celebration of 15 to 21 guests on one whole boat
- a friends' trip of 20, where ten cabins give couples, singles and families their own rooms
- an anniversary or a proposal that wants a balcony with a bathtub in the Master or Suite cabins
- a reunion that needs a Family Cabin for a parent and child
Less suited to
- a party of 6 or fewer: the lowest band covers 1 to 12 guests, so you pay the 12-guest price, and Carnaby 1 is cheaper
- 13 or 14 guests who do not need the extra room: Carnaby 1 is the lower whole-boat rate
Choose the other boat if
- you book a Superior cabin and expect an ocean view: that view comes with the Master, Suite and Deluxe cabins
- you count on a balcony in every cabin: four cabins have one
Sleeping plans for 12, 16 and 21
Twelve guests on Carnaby 1: two in the Master, four in the two Deluxe cabins, four in the two Superiors and two in the Sharing Cabin, which holds 4. Fourteen fills it completely.
Sixteen guests on Carnaby 2 take eight of the nine double cabins. One double and the Family Cabin stay free, as a spare room or somewhere quiet.
Twenty-one is arithmetic: nine double cabins hold 18, and the Family Cabin adds 2 or 3, so the beds add up to 20 or 21. Twenty-one is the published maximum; how the last bed is assigned is confirmed before you pay.
A party of 22 or more
One boat takes 21 at most. We won't promise more, so for 22 or more the answer is two boats on the same dates. Availability for both is confirmed, and each boat is priced as its own charter.
Send the headcount in the first message. If the real number is 22 and three guests are still deciding, say so; it changes which boat we quote first.
FAQ
Which boat for a group of 12?
Carnaby 1. Twelve guests sit in its 11 to 14 band, IDR 75,000,000 (≈ USD 4,601) for 3D2N, or IDR 6,250,000 (≈ USD 383) each. Carnaby 2 would charge the 1 to 12 band, IDR 118,000,000 (≈ USD 7,239), which is IDR 9,830,000 (≈ USD 603) each.
Can 15 people go on Carnaby 1?
Only with the extra bed in the Master Cabin. Carnaby 1 takes up to 14 guests, 15 on that bed, and the rate list stops at 14. A 15th guest is priced in your written quote. Carnaby 2 covers 15 in its 13 to 16 band.
Is the bigger boat less private?
No. A private charter is yours alone on either boat; no other guests sail with you. Carnaby 2 has more deck and more cabins for the same group, so a party of 14 spreads out further there.
Which boat has more balconies?
Carnaby 2: four cabins, the two Master and the two Suite, each with a balcony and a bathtub. Carnaby 1 has one balcony, on the Master Cabin.
What if we are 22?
One boat takes 21 at most. For 22 or more we check two boats on the same dates and confirm. Each boat is priced as its own charter, by its own group band.
