Charter Alfa, a 70m Benetti superyacht (refit 2025), for 12 guests in Raja Ampat. From US$700,000/week + expenses. Rates verified August 2026.
Alfa is a 70-metre Benetti motor yacht — launched in 2020 and refitted in 2025 — accommodating 12 guests with a full professional crew, and the largest vessel currently offered for Raja Ampat charter among the listings we track. Weekly rates start from US$700,000 plus expenses (Rates verified August 2026), placing her at the absolute flagship tier of the archipelago. For charterers who want Wayag, the Dampier Strait and Misool without surrendering an inch of superyacht comfort, Alfa is the ceiling of the market.

Think of Alfa as a private resort that weighs anchor every evening. At 70 metres she is Italian shipbuilding at its most ambitious — Benetti has been launching large custom yachts for generations — and a hull delivered in 2020 and refitted as recently as 2025 arrives in Indonesian waters with current systems, current interiors and the range to roam far beyond the day-boat circuit.
That matters more in Raja Ampat than almost anywhere else on earth. This is a destination with no superyacht marina and no fuel dock around the corner; whatever comfort you want, your yacht must carry. A vessel of Alfa’s class travels with her own ecosystem — tenders, water-sports inventory and a crew accustomed to remote operations — so the wilderness stays wild while life on board stays effortless. The exact tender and equipment inventory for your dates is confirmed by our concierge desk at enquiry.
The reward is anchoring a 70-metre flagship inside the richest reef system science has measured. Research across the Bird’s Head Seascape has recorded more than 1,700 fish species and over 550 species of coral here. Mornings begin with mist lifting off karst towers; afternoons end with the tender idling home from a manta cleaning station while the chef plates dinner on deck.
Alfa charters from US$700,000 per week plus expenses (Rates verified August 2026). Raja Ampat’s prime season runs October to April, when diving and sailing conditions are at their best; the archipelago is navigable year-round, with quieter anchorages and softer positioning outside prime months. Peak weeks from December to March — especially Christmas and New Year — typically carry a 10–20% premium.
| Window | Region | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| October–April | Raja Ampat | Prime conditions; December–March peak carries a 10–20% premium |
| May–October | Komodo rotation | Yachts of this size typically reposition to Komodo for the season |
| April/May & October/November | Crossing windows | Raja Ampat–Komodo repositioning voyages via the Banda Sea on request |
The plus-expenses element covers fuel, provisioning, cruising, anchorage and village fees, normally settled through an advance provisioning allowance. Every guest also needs the Raja Ampat Marine Park entry (PIN card), currently around IDR 700,000–1,000,000 per person per year — verified at booking, as park fees are revised periodically. For a line-by-line budget across the whole market, see our Raja Ampat yacht charter cost guide. Bookings for 2027 are filling fast; we recommend securing peak-season dates 9–12 months ahead.
The classic seven-night route reads like a highlight reel. From Sorong you cross to the Dampier Strait — Arborek village, the Manta Sandy and Manta Ridge cleaning stations, Cape Kri, Sardine Reef and Blue Magic — then continue to Penemu and the Fam group for Melissa’s Garden, climb the Piaynemo lookout, and push north into the karst labyrinth of Wayag before returning through The Passage, the river-like channel between Waigeo and Gam. The opening leg from Sorong to Arborek is roughly 53 nautical miles, around eight hours of cruising, which is exactly what a flagship with a good galley is for. With Alfa’s range, a 10–12 night combined itinerary adding Misool’s southern lagoons is the connoisseur’s choice. The full day-by-day plan is in our northern loop itinerary.
World-class, and serviced entirely from your own platform. Cape Kri holds a legendary species count on a single dive and delivers big schooling fish in the current; Blue Magic draws oceanic mantas and passing pelagics; Manta Sandy runs a strict queue-and-etiquette code at its cleaning station that our guides brief you on before you drop. Sardine Reef adds a wall of movement on the right tide. Dive guides, equipment and permits are arranged in advance by the concierge team. Non-divers are never an afterthought: the Piaynemo boardwalk, the Wayag ridge climb, glass-calm lagoon paddling and village visits at Arborek fill a day just as completely.
From US$700,000 per week plus expenses (Rates verified August 2026). Peak weeks from December to March typically carry a 10–20% premium, and running expenses — fuel, provisioning, park, cruising and village fees — are additional, settled via advance provisioning allowance.
Alfa hosts up to 12 guests, the standard capacity for international charter yachts. The cabin configuration for your party — couples, families, single-cabin guests — is confirmed at enquiry along with the current equipment inventory.
October to April is the prime window, with the best diving and sailing conditions. Yachts of Alfa’s size typically spend May to October in Komodo, so April/May and October/November open rare repositioning voyages between the two regions.
Sorong, gateway to Raja Ampat, served by Domine Eduard Osok Airport (SOQ) — about four hours’ flight from Jakarta, with connections via Makassar, Manado and Bali. Boarding is normally at Sorong harbour, with Waisai or southern Misool possible by arrangement.
