The Entry Phinisi, Summed Up

Classic wooden phinisi · $3,500–$6,800 per day · 8–12 guests

Chartering an entry-tier phinisi is the easiest route into a private Raja Ampat Yacht Charter. You still set off from Sorong, sail the same archipelago, and work with crews of the same calibre as higher tiers — but you pay 40–60% less per night than the luxury level. What you give up: simpler cabin fittings, a leaner list of onboard extras, and one region covered per voyage rather than several.

Best Fit

Matching the right group to the right tier

First-time charterers

Cost-aware groups who want to reach the marquee Dampier and Mansuar sites without footing the bill for premium comforts.

Dive-focused trips

Committed dive groups for whom time underwater counts more than a spa cabin. On most operators the dive setup matches the luxury tier.

Small groups (8–12)

Sized neatly for a single extended family or a close-knit group of friends. Bigger parties step up to the luxury or motor tier.
