Raja Ampat Motor Yacht Charter — Explorer & Motor Vessels

In One Sentence

Speed and range, when time in the water matters most

A Raja Ampat motor yacht charter trades sail for hydraulic-stabilised comfort and 12–18 knot cruising speed — covering more of the archipelago's 1,500+ fish species and coral gardens in less transit time. With a range of over 1,500 nautical miles, vessels like Gaia Love, Rascal, Aqua Blu, and Kudanil Explorer run extended itineraries without refuelling stops.

Whole-boat charters range from roughly USD 3,000–37,714 per night; per-cabin rates from USD 400–2,000 per night.
