Why book Yohak over volume sites: Same twin-engine speedboats and MARINA crew standards — but Yohak caps shared groups at four and leads with founder concierge, not promo-code density. Crafted space to breathe, not checkout friction alone.
Multi-day crossing? See the Palawan expedition — not a same-day speedboat tour.

Private Speedboat El Nido
Twin-engine speedboats cut Bacuit Bay transfers to 20–30 minutes. Our shared tour caps at four guests; private charter gives you the whole vessel from ₱38,000 with hotel pickup and tide-led routing.
Full private charter pageEl Nido Private Boat Tour
The premium private charter is your boat only — separate prep boat for lunch, early Big Lagoon access, and founder-led WhatsApp support. One price, no per-person math above eight guests.
El Nido Speedboat Charter
Charter a MARINA-licensed Yohak speedboat for a full Bacuit Bay day. Fewer, deeper stops — four locations timed to tides, not a checklist of seven crowded islands.
Private Island Hopping El Nido
Skip the fixed Tour A checklist — our speedboat island hopping is tide-led across Big Lagoon, captain's-choice lagoons, Pinagbuyutan lunch, and Entalula reef. Four stops, your pace on private; four guests max on shared.

Exclusive Boat Tour El Nido
An exclusive boat tour means your party only — not fifteen strangers on a bangka. Yohak caps shared speedboat days at two couples and private charter at eight guests on a twin-engine vessel with MARINA-licensed crew.
Private exclusive charterFaster islands. Smaller groups. Better timing.
20–30 min hops
Twin-engine speed vs 60–90 on bangkas — more time snorkeling, less time in transit.
4 guests max shared
Two couples ceiling — when four book, the date closes. No third couple.
Big Lagoon first light
7:30 AM launch so you swim cathedral walls before joiner traffic.

Yohak Bespoke — not a call center. WhatsApp with Jovet before you sail.

Timing advantage
Why departure time matters
Joiner bangkas leave later and share Big Lagoon with dozens of kayaks. Speedboat tours are built around beating the crowd.
07:30
Hotel pickup (private) or dock rendezvous (shared) — arrive 15 min early.
07:45
Strict departure · Big Lagoon before day boats.
11:30
Private island lunch — your table on the sand.
15:00
Entalula finale · return to El Nido.

Guest reviews
Reached Big Lagoon before anyone else. Lunch on a private beach while group tours were still loading at the dock.Jane G.
Seamless organization, friendly crew, food 10/10. Better than the big agencies we considered.Paola G.
Customizable tour — Captain Raymond and Henrick took great care of us. Private island lunch was unforgettable.Patty V.
The contrast
Crafted space on the water.
Same Bacuit Bay, same first-light lagoons. What changes is how many share the boat, how fast you get there, and whether a founder answers before you sail.

Sixty to ninety minutes between islands on a slow hull — more transit than water time.
Twin-engine speedboat · 20–30 minute hops — more snorkeling, less sitting in transit.
