What is included in a Damai I charter?

A Damai I charter includes the vessel, full crew service, all meals and non-alcoholic beverages, diving and snorkeling equipment, tender boat excursions, kayaks, and standard itinerary activities. Alcoholic beverages, Raja Ampat marine park permits (approx. IDR 1,000,000), and special requests are typically additional.

How many guests can Damai I accommodate?

Damai I accommodates up to 12 guests in 6 cabins. The vessel can also be booked for smaller groups with adjusted pricing. Private full-vessel charter ensures exclusive use regardless of group size.

Is Damai I suitable for non-divers?

Absolutely. While Damai I offers excellent diving facilities, many guests come specifically for snorkeling, island exploration, wildlife watching, kayaking, and relaxation. The crew tailors daily activities to each guest’s preferences, ensuring non-divers enjoy an equally spectacular experience.

What is the best time to charter Damai I in Raja Ampat?

Raja Ampat offers year-round sailing, but peak season (October–April) provides the best conditions: calm seas, optimal visibility (25-30m), and manta ray aggregations. Shoulder seasons (May and September) offer fewer crowds and competitive rates. Learn more about seasonal conditions.

How far in advance should I book?

For peak season (October–April), we recommend booking 6-12 months in advance. Popular dates and school holiday periods fill up quickly. Shoulder and low-season dates may have shorter lead times. Check current availability.
