How much does a luxury charter in Raja Ampat cost?

Premium phinisi run $6,000–10,000 per night whole-vessel and flagships $12,000–16,000, with weekly brokerage rates from $119,000 (Vela) to $175,000 (Lamima, Kudanil Explorer) plus expenses. Rates verified August 2026; peak December–March dates carry a 10–20% premium.

Are luxury charter rates all-inclusive?

Phinisi rates come close — crew, meals, diving and water toys are generally in. Park permits, alcohol, spa and a ~10% crew gratuity are customarily extra, and superyacht-class listings add running expenses. Your proposal itemises everything before deposit.

When should I sail for the best conditions?

October to April is prime, with the flagship vessels in residence November to April before repositioning to Komodo. Low-season charters trade a little weather certainty for empty anchorages and softer rates — details in our seasonal guide.
