Raja Ampat Yacht Charter is a private whole-yacht charter desk operated by Komodo Luxury, covering more than 60 inspected vessels sailing from Sorong, West Papua. You charter the entire boat, priced per night in three tiers: from around US$8,000 for expedition phinisi, US$15,000 for premium yachts, and US$26,000 for flagship vessels such as Lamima and Prana by Atzaró. Rates include crew, meals, dive guides and fuel within the itinerary; marine park permits are arranged for you. To book, run the AI Charter Match wizard to shortlist three suitable yachts, then confirm dates and route on WhatsApp at +62 811-3823-875.

Raja Ampat yacht charter — FAQ
What is a Raja Ampat private yacht charter?
A private yacht charter means the entire vessel is yours — your group, your dates, your route. Crew, a private chef and dive guides are included; you simply fly into Sorong and step aboard. Charters are priced per night for the whole yacht (not per person), from around USD 8,000 a night for a luxury yacht to USD 26,000+ for a superyacht such as Lamima, Prana or Aqua Blu. Tell us your party and nights and we curate the right yacht.
How much does it cost to charter a whole yacht in Raja Ampat?
Whole-yacht charter is quoted per night for the entire vessel and depends on the yacht, your nights and the season. As a guide: Luxury from ~USD 8,000/night, Ultra-Luxury from ~USD 15,000, and Superyacht from ~USD 26,000/night (the largest, like Aqua Blu, run higher) — all-inclusive of crew, chef and dive guides. We confirm an exact, all-in quote on WhatsApp. See how charter pricing works.
I don't know which yacht to choose — can you help?
That is exactly what we do. As the curated charter desk operated by Komodo Luxury since 2015, you tell us how many guests, how many nights and the level you want — we shortlist the two or three yachts that genuinely fit and handle everything else. Use the planner above, or just message a specialist.
Do you also offer per-cabin (shared) liveaboards?
Yes. If you would rather book a cabin and join a set departure, see our Raja Ampat liveaboard page — pay per cabin and follow the boat's schedule. The homepage planner is for chartering a whole private yacht on your own dates.
What is included in a private charter?
Everything aboard: the yacht, full crew, a private chef and all meals, dive guides and tanks (on dive yachts), tenders and water toys, and route planning. We also arrange the Raja Ampat marine-park permit and your Sorong transfer. You fly in; we take care of the rest.
