How much does it cost to charter a yacht in Raja Ampat?

Published whole-vessel rates run from $21,000 per week (Manta Mae, 31 m) to $700,000 per week (Alfa, 70 m), plus expenses — rates verified August 2026. Mid-luxury boats start around $4,500 per night, entry phinisi from about $1,500 per night, and shared cabin charters from roughly $350 per person per night.

What does “Price on application” mean in the table?

Some owners set rates per enquiry because pricing moves with season, itinerary length and routing. Each POA vessel’s page states its class band so you can budget realistically, and our concierge desk confirms an exact quote — usually within 24 hours — before you commit to anything.

When is the best time to charter in Raja Ampat?

October to April brings the calmest seas and best diving visibility, which is why the big-yacht fleet positions there November through April. Raja Ampat is navigable year-round, though, and low-season charters trade a little weather certainty for empty anchorages and softer rates.

Are marine park fees and expenses included in the rate?

No. Weekly rates are base charter rates; expenses cover fuel, provisioning, cruising and village fees, crew gratuity and the Raja Ampat Marine Park entry fee — currently around IDR 700,000–1,000,000 per person per year, confirmed at booking. Your quote itemises all of it before you pay a deposit.

Common Questions

Before you pick a vessel

How do I choose the right vessel?

Start with guest count and budget tier, then narrow by type — Phinisi for traditional character, motor yacht for speed, sailing yacht for a classic experience.

What's the difference between a Phinisi and a motor yacht?

A Phinisi is a traditional Indonesian wooden sailing vessel; a motor yacht is built for speed and range. Both come fully crewed in this fleet.

Do all vessels dive the same sites?

Yes — every vessel in the fleet can reach the same core sites (Cape Kri, Manta Sandy, Wayag), though itinerary length and route vary by charter.

Can I charter just a cabin instead of a whole vessel?

Yes, on select vessels — see our Cabin Charter page for scheduled per-cabin departures.
