How much does a used speedboat cost in Bali?

Private used speedboats typically close between USD 40,000 and 180,000 depending on length, engine package and hours. Commercial speedboats with transferable route licences and active bookings run higher, commonly USD 90,000–350,000, because the licence and trade carry real value.

Can foreigners buy a boat in Bali?

Yes, with the right structure. Small private boats are often held through an Indonesian company or under arrangements matched to how the boat will be used; commercially licensed boats need an Indonesian entity. Our legal desk confirms the correct route before you commit funds.

Do you inspect boats before listing them?

Every listing gets a document audit and a physical check covering hull, transom, steering and engine records. For purchases we recommend an independent inspection on top — modest money against a five-figure mistake.

What paperwork should come with a boat purchase in Indonesia?

At minimum: proof of ownership, vessel registration (pas kecil for most boat-tier hulls), engine serial documentation, and — for commercial boats — the operating licence and its transfer path. We assemble and verify this file before closing; missing papers are priced in or fixed first.

Below the yacht tier

Bali boats change hands in private sales, not showrooms.

Day boats, speedboats, dive tenders and workboats, typically trading between USD 15,000 and 350,000. Verified hulls, honest engine hours, and escrow-protected payment for both sides.

Day boats moored in line off a Bali beach

Boat-tier deals in Bali close fast — often inside three weeks — but the same two disciplines apply as on any yacht sale.

The deposit sits in escrow until inspection and papers clear.
The berth or mooring arrangement is confirmed in writing before completion. A boat without somewhere to lie is a problem delivered on day one.
For commercial boats we confirm licence transferability before any deposit moves.

Four categories

What this desk brokers

Day boats & bowriders

Fibreglass day cruisers 6–12 m, mostly outboard. The value question is almost always engine condition, not hull cosmetics.

Speedboats & transfers

Twin- and triple-outboard hulls for the Nusa Penida, Gili and Lembongan runs. Route licences and berths materially affect price.

Dive tenders

Compressor boats and dive tenders. Tank racks and ladders are easy to see; the corrosion behind them is what we inspect.

Workboats & utility

Crew boats, mooring tenders and small landing craft. These trade on documented duty cycles and rebuild history.

Selling a boat in Bali?

Boat-tier sales benefit from the same preparation as yachts: an honest valuation, a clean document file, and photographs taken before the mould season dulls the hull.
