The same boat, shaped around who is aboard
A honeymoon and a dive week need opposite schedules from the same vessel. This page is the shortest route to the one that fits your group.

Why this page exists
The vessel is not the variable
Every charter here is the whole boat, the same crew and the same anchorages. What changes is the pacing, the cabins and where the day's attention goes.
Pick the wrong one and nothing is broken — it just means a family week timed like a dive week, which nobody enjoys.
- Honeymoon: emptier days, quieter anchorages
- Family: shallow bays, shorter walks, cabins next door
- Diving: sites chosen by current, four per guide
- Liveaboard: positioned overnight, dawn to night dives
The four

Each has its own page with the detail. This is the one-line version of each.

Honeymoon Charter
2 guestsIt is the two of you and you want the days emptier than full.Family Charter
Mixed agesChildren are aboard and the schedule has to bend around them.Diving Charter
Some diveHalf the group dives and the other half needs a real week too.Liveaboard Diving
All diveEveryone aboard dives and the point is bottom time, not sightseeing.
Multi-generational groups usually want the family page and the diving page open side by side. A private boat runs both at once.
The real difference
Full days, or empty ones
Almost every charter decision here reduces to this, and groups get it wrong in both directions.
Diving and liveaboard
Full days
- Dawn starts and four or five dives
- Sites chosen on the morning's current
- Surface intervals scheduled, not improvised
- You will be tired, and that is the point
Honeymoon and family
Empty days
- One activity a day, sometimes none
- Long anchorages and afternoons on deck
- Shore walks at the pace of the slowest
- Nothing scheduled after sunset
Most groups discover the balance on day two. That is fine — the route is redrawn daily on a private charter anyway.

Board in Labuan Bajo
Transfers, permits and provisioning handled before you land.
If two of these apply
A private boat runs more than one at a time. Grandparents ashore, teenagers diving, and two people doing nothing on the foredeck is a normal Tuesday.
