Charter Infinite Cat, a 36m SilverYachts catamaran (2022) for 8 guests in Raja Ampat. Price on application — rates verified August 2026.
Infinite Cat is a 36-metre (118-foot) luxury catamaran for up to 8 guests, built by SilverYachts in 2022 and available for private charter in Raja Ampat on a price-on-application basis. As the only large modern catamaran in the Raja Ampat charter listing, she pairs shallow-draft access to the archipelago’s lagoons with the stability multihulls are famous for. Comparable mid-size yachts in these waters run from roughly $39,095 to $95,000 per week plus expenses — rates verified August 2026.

Raja Ampat is an archipelago drawn at the wrong scale for most yachts: hundreds of karst islets, hidden lagoons entered through gaps barely wider than a tender, and anchorages where the reef rises fast. This is exactly the geometry a catamaran was made for. Riding on two slim hulls, Infinite Cat draws less water than a comparable monohull, sits flat at anchor without stabilisers working overtime, and spreads her living space across a beam that monohulls of her length cannot match.
Delivered by SilverYachts in 2022, she is also one of the youngest vessels in the entire Raja Ampat fleet — a contemporary yacht in a region where much of the charter tonnage is traditional timber. For guests who want modern naval architecture, current-generation systems and a clean, light-filled platform rather than a heritage phinisi, she occupies a niche of one: no other large catamaran appears in the Raja Ampat charter listing at all.
Her eight-guest capacity keeps the experience deliberately private. One or two families, a dive group of friends, or a couple travelling with staff will find the guest-to-space ratio generous, and the low, wide aft platform of a catamaran makes her a natural base for a week that revolves around the water — divers stride off metres from the surface, snorkellers slip in without ladders and drama.
The prime Raja Ampat season runs October to April, with the calmest seas and the best reef visibility; December to March is peak, typically carrying a 10–20% premium and filling 9–12 months out. The region is navigable year-round, and low-season charters trade a little weather certainty for empty anchorages and softer pricing. Many vessels in the Indonesian fleet reposition to Komodo for May–October, so early enquiry is the only way to pin down where a given yacht will be.
| Season | Window | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Prime season | October – April | Best conditions; book 9–12 months ahead |
| Peak weeks | December – March | 10–20% premium; holiday dates go first |
| Low season | May – September | Quieter, softer rates; confirm positioning |
Infinite Cat’s rate is quoted on application through our concierge desk. For budgeting, the mid-size band of the Raja Ampat fleet is a fair reference: Sanya (33 m) from $39,095 per week and Sea Bear (40 m) from $95,000 per week, both plus expenses. Rates verified August 2026. Park entry fees — currently around IDR 700,000–1,000,000 per person per year — and cruising fees are confirmed at booking; our charter cost guide itemises the full picture.
Lagoon country. A seven-night route from Sorong crosses the Dampier Strait to Arborek and the manta cleaning stations (roughly 53 NM, about eight hours), then threads the Fam group and Piaynemo before pushing north into Wayag, where a catamaran’s modest draft lets her work deeper into the turquoise lagoon system than most monohulls dare. Southbound alternatives trade Wayag for Misool’s Balbulol and Love Lagoon. Start with the full itinerary library or go straight to the northern loop day-by-day.
The Bird’s Head Seascape holds the highest recorded marine biodiversity on the planet — surveys count more than 1,700 fish species and 550 corals. From a catamaran’s low freeboard, the water is right there: tender dives at Blue Magic for oceanic mantas, Cape Kri for sheer fish density, Manta Sandy with its queue-etiquette cleaning station, and Melissa’s Garden’s hard-coral meadows for photographers. Between dives: snorkelling straight off the swim platforms, paddling The Passage’s mangrove channel, village visits at Arborek, and the Piaynemo lookout climb at golden hour.
The gateway is Sorong (SOQ), on the western tip of Papua — around four hours’ flying from Jakarta, with routings via Makassar, Manado or Bali. Our concierge meets guests at the airport and transfers them directly to the harbour for embarkation; boarding at Waisai or in southern Misool can be arranged where the itinerary calls for it. Before you fly, the same team has already handled the invisible work: marine park entry cards for each guest, cruising permissions along the route, provisioning to your preferences, and dive documentation matched to everyone’s certification. It is the difference between arriving to a boat and arriving to a finished plan — you land, you board, and the first karst anchorage is on the horizon by late afternoon.

Up to 8 guests — sized for a single family, two couples travelling together, or a private dive group.
Two hulls mean a shallower draft for lagoon anchorages, near-zero roll at anchor, and far more deck space per metre of length — practical advantages in an archipelago of tight, reef-fringed moorings.
Yes. Much of the Raja Ampat charter fleet is traditional or converted tonnage; a 2022 SilverYachts build places her among the very newest vessels operating in the region.
Send our concierge desk your dates and group profile and we will confirm availability and pricing, then build the route around season and swell. If her calendar is closed, we will shortlist alternatives from the Raja Ampat charter fleet — the closest modern-build comparison is Sanya, a 33-metre motor yacht launched in 2025.
