Karimunjawa Skydiving Private Aircraft Load: Group Guide

A private aircraft load for skydiving in Karimunjawa was not a separate 2025 product — the KISA Boogie Woogie Jump sold individual tandem and licensed-jumper tickets, not whole-plane charters. For a future edition, the Karimunjawa Skydive waiting-list desk can submit a private-load request to the event organiser once new dates are confirmed, with load size and pricing set case by case.

Was a Private Aircraft Load Offered During the 2025 Event?

No. The Karimunjawa International Skydiving and Adventure (KISA) Boogie Woogie Jump ran 7–11 May 2025 at Bandara Dewadaru (IATA code KWB) on Pulau Kemujan, Kabupaten Jepara, Central Java, according to ANTARA (10 May 2025) and Humas Jateng provincial releases. The published structure for that week was ticket-based: a single tandem seat, or a single licensed free-fly slot, sold per jumper rather than per aircraft. ANTARA put total participation at around 50 skydivers from Indonesia and abroad across the event.

KISA chairman Capt. Muhammad Hariri described the May 2025 edition as an opening or warm-up festival, and provincial and local media have repeated the intent to run it as an annual fixture. As of September 2026, no confirmed 2026 or 2027 dates have appeared in any public source, so a private load cannot yet be scheduled against a real calendar — it can only be registered as interest for whichever edition is announced next.

How Does Load Logic Work for a Tandem Group?

A “load” is one aircraft flight to altitude, and how many jumpers fit on it depends on the mix of tandem pairs, licensed solo jumpers, and cameramen. A tandem jump pairs one instructor with one student on a single harness; adding a cameraman for photo or video takes an extra seat per pair. A licensed jumper flying solo, by contrast, takes one seat and needs no instructor.

That means a group made up mostly of first-time tandem jumpers who all want a cameraman will fill an aircraft faster than the same headcount made up of licensed jumpers. The aircraft type used for the May 2025 jumps has not been publicly confirmed, so exact seat counts per load are not published anywhere the desk can verify — group organisers should treat load capacity as an operational detail the event organiser confirms closer to the date, not a fixed number to plan a budget around today.

Group organisers comparing a private load against simply booking as a group often start by looking at how a dedicated group day is structured in the first place — our guide to the private skydive experience covers what a group-focused booking can include beyond the aircraft seat itself, from arrival logistics to how cameramen are assigned per pair.

Standard Ticket vs Private Load: What’s the Difference?

The table below lays out how the published 2025 ticket model compares with what a private-load request would mean in practice.

Aspect	Standard ticket (2025 model)	Private load (request-based)
How it is sold	Individual ticket per jumper, early-bird and on-the-spot pricing	Not sold as a listed product in 2025; requested from the organiser for a future edition
Who shares the aircraft	Jumpers from different parties mixed on the same load	Only your registered group, subject to aircraft capacity
Pricing	Published in the 2025 price sheet (see below)	Case by case, set by the organiser; no figure quoted
Scheduling	Fixed inside the event week (7–11 May in 2025)	A preferred window can be requested but still depends on the next confirmed event dates
Where the request starts	/reserve/ waiting-list form	Same /reserve/ form, with “private load” noted in the message

What Did Individual Tickets Cost in 2025?

Because a private load has no published price, the closest public reference point is the 2025 ticket sheet published on the Komodo Luxury blog (Juara Holding Group), quoted in USD, with tandem pricing including a cameraman.

Jump type	Early bird (10–18 Apr 2025)	On the spot (7–10 May 2025)	Bundled minimum
Tandem, single ticket	USD 525	USD 575	Min 5 tickets: USD 510 early bird / USD 555 on the spot
Licensed free-fly, single jump	Not republished; confirmed by the desk at launch	Not republished; confirmed by the desk at launch	Min 10 tickets: bundle pricing not republished; confirmed by the desk at launch

No official IDR price was published alongside these figures, so any rupiah conversion is an estimate rather than an operator-quoted number. These 2025 figures are the last published reference; pricing for a next edition, including any private-load request, is unreleased and should be read as “last published (2025), subject to change.”

What Should Your Group Prepare Before Requesting a Private Load?

A private-load request moves faster when the organiser receives a complete picture of the group up front, rather than a headcount alone.

Item to prepare	Why the organiser asks for it
Total party size	Determines whether the group fits one load or needs to be split across more than one flight
Each jumper’s weight	The site’s published guidance lists a guest weight range of 45–95 kg; the final limit is confirmed by the organiser at launch and affects harness assignment and load balance
Licensed vs first-timer split	Licensed jumpers exit solo; each tandem pair needs an instructor and, if wanted, a cameraman
Preferred date window	Only meaningful once a next edition is confirmed publicly; no 2026 or 2027 dates exist as of September 2026
Backup day	A second night gives room for a weather hold without cancelling the trip
Camera preference	Adds a seat per tandem pair if every jumper wants dedicated photo or video

Age, health and weight rules are set by the event organiser and confirmed at launch: tandem places are for adults, the site’s published guidance lists a guest weight range of 45–95 kg, and any waiver or health declaration is specified by the organiser rather than by the desk.

How Does Weather Affect a Private Load Booking?

A private load does not remove the weather dependency that governs any outdoor jump. Wind, visibility, and cloud base can hold any load, whole-aircraft or shared, and the organiser makes that call on the day. Building in a buffer night is standard event-week practice rather than a private-load-specific precaution.

Access supports that buffer-night plan either way. The Jepara–Karimunjawa fast ferry (Express Bahari) runs roughly 2 to 2.25 hours, while the slower KMP Siginjai ferry takes about 4.5 to 6 hours. Susi Air also flies Semarang (SRG) to Dewadaru (KWB) in around 40 minutes; a September 2026 Traveloka listing shows an example schedule of SRG 07:30 to KWB 08:10 and the return KWB 11:10 to SRG 11:50. Kompas reported on 11 May 2025 that scheduled flights to Karimunjawa were set to resume from 4 July 2025, three times a week, tied to post-event tourism plans. Because most accommodation sits on the main Karimunjawa island while the airfield is on neighbouring Kemujan, arriving the night before jump day — plus a spare night for weather — is the practical baseline for any group, private load or not.

The dry season, roughly April through October, is generally treated as the better window for sea conditions and ferry reliability; May 2025 fell inside that window. This is a general climate pattern rather than an official park declaration, so “generally” is the right word, not “guaranteed.”

What Does the Desk Actually Do With a Private-Load Request?

Karimunjawa Skydive is the independent waiting-list and concierge desk of Juara Holding Group (est. 2015): it registers interest for jumps with the KISA event organiser and can arrange transfers, boats, and stays with local operators — it does not run the aircraft, the drop zone, or the jumps themselves. A private-load request follows the same path as any reservation: submit party details through the /reserve/ waiting-list form (full name, email, WhatsApp number), and the desk forwards the request to the organiser once a next event date is public, replying by email from bd@juaraholding.com. No phone number or WhatsApp contact is listed anywhere on the site; email is the only channel back from the desk.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a private aircraft load cheaper than buying individual tickets?

Not necessarily, and no figure is published either way. The 2025 sheet already priced bundled tandem tickets lower — USD 510 early bird per seat for a minimum of 5 tandem tickets, against USD 525 for a single ticket — so a private load’s case-by-case price could land above or below that bundled rate depending on group size.

How many people fit on a single private load?

That number is not publicly confirmed. The aircraft type used for the 2025 jumps has never been named in public sources, so seat capacity per load isn’t something the desk can quote. Registering the group’s size through /reserve/ lets the organiser answer that once a next edition is scheduled.

Can a private load happen outside the annual event week?

There is no public precedent for jumps outside the event window; the only documented edition ran inside a fixed 7–11 May 2025 week. Whether a future private load could be scheduled on a separate date depends entirely on organiser planning that has not been announced as of September 2026.
