2027 Raja Ampat yacht charter prices: nightly rates by class, weekly from-rates for 20 yachts, peak premiums and booking windows. Verified August 2026.
For 2027, a whole-vessel Raja Ampat yacht charter costs from roughly $1,500 per night for an entry-level phinisi to $15,000 and above per night for ultra-luxury superyachts, with most private charters closing in the $4,500–10,000 per night band. Weekly from-rates across the charter fleet currently span about $21,000 to $700,000 plus expenses, and peak dates from December to March carry a 10–20% premium. Every figure on this page is quoted in USD and verified August 2026.
Raja Ampat rewards planning more than almost any charter ground in Indonesia. The archipelago sits far from the main marina economy of Bali, the prime season runs October to April, and the best boats rotate between Raja Ampat and Komodo on a fixed calendar. That scarcity is what shapes the 2027 price list below — and why the strongest weeks are already being reserved.
The cleanest way to read the market is by vessel class. Whole-boat rates buy you the entire yacht, crew, and a private itinerary; per-person liveaboard berths are the budget-friendly alternative when you do not need the whole vessel.
| Charter class | Typical 2027 rate (USD) | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Entry phinisi (whole boat) | from ~$1,500 per night | Couples and small groups on smaller traditional boats |
| Mid-luxury vessels | from ~$4,500 per night | First private charters, families, mixed dive groups |
| Premium phinisi | $6,000–10,000 per night | Design-led sailing with full dive programs |
| Flagship class (Lamima, Prana) | $12,000–16,000 per night | Milestone voyages, large parties, full crew service |
| Ultra-luxury superyachts | $15,000+ per night | Expedition superyachts and top-end motor yachts |
| Liveaboard berth (per person) | from ~$350 per night per person | Solo divers and couples joining scheduled departures |
For a packaged alternative, a 9-day, 8-night Raja Ampat itinerary through our network starts at USD 6,400 per person, with higher VVIP tiers available. If you are still deciding between formats, the full charter cost guide and the Raja Ampat liveaboard overview break down what each model includes.
Weekly from-rates below follow the standard charter convention: the base rate covers the yacht and crew, quoted as from-price per week, with expenses — fuel, provisioning, park and village fees — billed separately. Vessels without a published rate are priced on application within their class band. Rates verified August 2026.

Two reference points anchor the spread: Manta Mae, a 31-metre phinisi for 12 guests, opens the market at $21,000 per week, while Alfa, a 70-metre Benetti motor yacht, tops it at $700,000. Between them sit the boats most charterers actually book — premium phinisi such as Lamima and expedition vessels such as Kudanil Explorer, both from $175,000 per week.
Expect a 10–20% premium on published rates for December through March departures, with Christmas and New Year weeks the first to sell and the firmest on price. This is precisely when Raja Ampat is at its best — the prime season for diving and sailing runs October to April — so the premium buys the conditions the destination is famous for. Outside those months the archipelago remains charterable year-round, with quieter anchorages and softer rates in the low season. The best-time guide maps conditions month by month.
The direction of travel is upward, and the reason is structural rather than speculative. The Raja Ampat fleet skews premium — phinisi, expedition yachts, and a small number of flagships — and the biggest vessels spend only part of the year here, rotating to Komodo from May to October. Fewer boats, a compressed season, and steady demand for private buyouts mean flagship weeks clear first and from-rates firm up rather than discount. Practically: 2027 calendars are already filling, and the yachts with the strongest reputations rarely reach the late-booking market at all.
Budget beyond the base rate for the items below. None are hidden, but they are billed separately on most contracts.
Book 9 to 12 months ahead for peak dates — that is the honest window for December–March 2027 on the better-known boats. The sequence is simple: shortlist two or three vessels that fit your party size and diving ambitions, place a hold on dates, and contract at the current published rate before seasonal adjustments. Our concierge desk in Bali runs the whole process end to end, from vessel matching through itinerary design to Sorong logistics, permits, and provisioning.
