The Pinnacle of Maritime Luxury
Navigate pristine archipelagic waters aboard a private luxury vessel with dedicated crew, expert dive masters, personal chef, and complete freedom to explore at your pace. This is not group travel. This is your expedition, your schedule, your experience.
Beyond Compare
Raja Ampat's geography demands a vessel-based approach. The archipelago spans over 40,000 square kilometers across four major islands — Waigeo, Batanta, Salawati, and Misool — with over 1,500 smaller islands scattered between them. Land-based resorts access only a fraction of available dive sites and destinations.
A superyacht charter unlocks the entire archipelago: remote lagoons, pristine dive sites, hidden beaches, and indigenous villages that shore-based travelers simply cannot reach.

Curated Selection
Each vessel selected for Raja Ampat's specific conditions: shallow draft navigation, tender boat capacity, diving platform infrastructure, and luxury accommodation standards.
25-40 meters
Hand-crafted Indonesian sailing vessels combining centuries-old boat-building tradition with modern luxury.

Common Questions
Optimal group size depends on vessel class: traditional phinisi vessels accommodate 6-12 guests comfortably, motor yachts 8-16, and ultra-luxury superyachts 10-20+. Smaller groups (6-8) enjoy maximum flexibility and intimacy. Larger groups (12-16) benefit from per-person cost efficiency. We recommend matching vessel capacity to 70-80% of maximum for optimal comfort and deck space.
Absolutely. Raja Ampat's above-water attractions rival its underwater world. Non-divers participate in world-class snorkeling, kayaking through hidden lagoons, jungle treks to bird of paradise habitats, cultural village visits, island hiking, photography expeditions, spa and wellness activities, and fishing. Many couples and families include mixed diving and non-diving members — the charter accommodates all participation levels seamlessly.
Peak season charters (November-February) should be booked 12-18 months in advance for optimal vessel selection. Shoulder season (March-April, October) offers more flexibility with 6-12 months lead time. Ultra-luxury superyachts require 18-24 months advance booking due to limited fleet size in Raja Ampat waters.
All vessels maintain international maritime safety standards including SOLAS compliance, life raft capacity exceeding passenger count, fire suppression systems, emergency communication equipment (satellite phone, VHF, EPIRB), first aid stations, and emergency oxygen. Dive operations follow PADI/SSI safety protocols. Emergency evacuation insurance and decompression chamber access coordination are included.
The value depends on priorities. Liveaboards offer excellent diving at $3,000-$6,000 per person for 6-8 days but with fixed itineraries, shared spaces, and 20-50 passengers. Superyacht charters provide private exclusivity, customizable itineraries, superior accommodation, personal chef, and intimate group dynamics. Per-person costs for groups of 8-12 on mid-range charters ($4,000-$8,000/person) approach liveaboard pricing while delivering dramatically superior experiences.
