Question 1

What is the payment schedule for liveaboard bookings?

Accepted Answer

Booking is easy - a 50% deposit secures your spot immediately, with the remaining balance due 100 days before departure. If you're booking within 100 days of your trip, full payment is required to confirm your reservation. Popular routes book 6-12 months or or even further, so we recommend securing your spot early.

Question 2

What payment methods do you accept?

Accepted Answer

We accept international bank transfers as well as Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and JCB credit cards (processed securely through third-party payment processors). Most guests prefer bank transfers. Just note that transfers typically take 3-5 business days to process, so please plan accordingly if you're booking close to your departure date.

Question 3

How does the booking process work?

Accepted Answer

It's simple and transparent. As authorized agents, we have direct access to operator booking systems—we place holds on available cabins instantly.

Once the operator confirms your hold, we'll send you the booking total via email along with payment details based on your preferred method. After payment, your booking is confirmed and you can add guest details through your Coralbound account dashboard. We'll remind you before final payment is due, and you'll be cleared for boarding once the operator has all the details.

Question 4

Can I book flights through Coralbound?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely—and this is where we truly stand apart. Our specialized travel partner knows which airlines and routes are most reliable and monitors your flights 24/7. If there's a delay or cancellation, they automatically rebook you—no stress, no missed departures.

We're not just booking your liveaboard—we're making sure you actually get there. Simply check the flight coordination box at checkout and we'll handle the rest. Most of our guests choose this option for complete peace of mind.

Question 5

Can you help with hotel bookings?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We arrange your pre- and post-trip accommodations for a seamless transition. Our team knows the best hotels near departure ports and coordinates timing with your flights and boat schedule—it's one less thing to worry about. Add hotels during checkout or contact us for recommendations.

Question 6

Can I extend my trip with other experiences?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Unlike other liveaboard booking platforms, Coralbound offers curated extension packages through our travel agency partner. Add multi-day cultural or adventure experiences, or extend your stay at world-class diving resorts or luxury beach properties anywhere in Indonesia—not just at your liveaboard destination. Want to combine your liveaboard with a week at a resort in Raja Ampat, explore Bali's temples, or see the dragons in Komodo? If you let us arrange your domestic flights, we can create a seamless itinerary connecting multiple destinations. It's the complete vacation planning you won't find on other liveaboard platforms.
