Boat Charter — FAQ

What is Raja Ampat Sailing Yacht Charter?

Raja Ampat Sailing Yacht Charter is a private boat-charter specialist for Raja Ampat and Komodo — speedboats, day boats and phinisi with crew and guide, operated by Komodo Luxury. We match you to the right vessel, from a speedboat day charter to a multi-day phinisi.

How much does a Raja Ampat boat charter cost?

Charter cost depends on the vessel, the number of days, capacity and the season. A speedboat day charter is the most affordable; a private phinisi for multi-day cruising is the premium end. We give a clear per-charter quote on WhatsApp — see how charter rates work.

What is included in a charter?

A typical charter includes the vessel, crew, fuel and a guide; multi-day phinisi charters add cabins, all meals and a chef. The Raja Ampat marine park permit (about IDR 700,000 / USD 45 per foreign visitor) is usually arranged for you. We confirm exactly what each boat includes.

How do I get to the boat in Raja Ampat?

You fly to Sorong (SOQ), then transfer by sea to Waisai (around 2.5–3 hours by speedboat) where most charters depart; for Komodo you fly to Labuan Bajo (LBJ). We coordinate the transfer with your charter.

Can I charter the whole boat for a group?

Yes — a group charter takes the whole vessel for families, dive clubs or corporate trips, which often works out well per person. We size the boat to your party.
