Charter Solace, a 57m Feadship motor yacht refitted 2025, for 12 guests in Raja Ampat. From US$450,000/week + expenses. Rates verified August 2026.
Solace is a 57-metre Feadship motor yacht for 12 guests — built in 2005 by the storied Dutch yard and refitted in 2025, so what you board is a classic pedigree running on current systems. Raja Ampat charters start from US$450,000 per week plus expenses (Rates verified August 2026), in the flagship tier of the market. Her name describes the brief precisely: deep comfort, delivered in the most remote marine wilderness Indonesia has.

Feadship is the name yacht owners mention in the same breath as the great watchmaking houses — Dutch custom builders whose hulls are engineered to be kept, not replaced. Solace carries that inheritance at 57 metres, and her 2025 refit means the craftsmanship arrives paired with today’s systems and interiors rather than a museum’s. The effect on board is of a grand hotel suite that happens to glide.
In Raja Ampat that combination earns its keep daily. The archipelago offers no marinas and no shoreside services; every comfort is the yacht’s own responsibility. A Feadship with professional crew turns remoteness into the luxury itself — anchored in a silence money rarely buys, with the tender waiting and the galley working. The crew set the day’s rhythm around you — dive briefings after breakfast, the awning rigged before the midday heat, sundowners timed to the light on the karst. The current equipment and tender inventory for your dates is confirmed by our concierge desk at enquiry.
Around her spreads the Bird’s Head Seascape, the most biodiverse marine region researchers have documented anywhere — more than 1,700 fish species and over 550 species of coral. From Solace’s aft deck the evidence is casual: fusiliers under the hull at breakfast, turtles crossing the anchorage by noon.
Solace charters from US$450,000 per week plus expenses (Rates verified August 2026), and she periodically carries special-offer positioning — ask the desk for live terms on your dates. Raja Ampat’s prime season runs October to April; December to March peak weeks typically add a 10–20% premium, with Christmas and New Year the most contested dates on the calendar.
| Window | Region | Notes |

Expenses — fuel, provisioning, cruising, anchorage and village fees — are additional, normally via an advance provisioning allowance. Guests also require the Raja Ampat Marine Park entry (PIN card), currently around IDR 700,000–1,000,000 per person per year, confirmed at booking. Budget the full picture with our Raja Ampat yacht charter cost guide, and for peak weeks book 9–12 months out — 2027 is filling fast.
Where the north is a highlight reel, the south is a slow reveal. A seven-night southern route runs from Sorong toward Misool: the pinnacle maze of Balbulol, the untouched Daram islands, Wayil and its lagoon (known to many as Love Lagoon), the manta theatre of Magic Mountain — Shadow Reef, the arches of Boo Windows and the caves and walls of Farondi, before turning for home. It is the connoisseur’s Raja Ampat: fewer boats, softer light, and anchorages that feel borrowed rather than visited. For longer voyages, Misool is also the springboard for a rarer chapter: Triton Bay and Kaimana, about two days’ sail further east, where soft-coral gardens and the whale sharks of Namatota and the Iris Strait reward the October–April season. The full day-by-day plan is in our southern loop Misool itinerary; a 10–12 night combined route adds the northern icons.
The southern sites she can hold station over. Magic Mountain (Shadow Reef) is one of the few places where reef mantas and oceanic mantas share a cleaning station; Boo Windows gives photographers its famous swim-through arches; Farondi adds caverns and overhangs draped in soft coral. Dive guides, equipment and permits are arranged ahead by the concierge team, and briefings cover the park’s etiquette codes at sensitive sites. Non-divers get equal riches — lagoon kayaking, karst viewpoints, and snorkelling straight off the swim platform.
Embarkation is at Sorong, reached via Domine Eduard Osok Airport (SOQ) — about four hours from Jakarta, with connections through Makassar, Manado or Bali. The concierge desk arranges the airport meet, the harbour transfer and every permit before arrival, including the marine park entry card for each guest. Boarding is normally at Sorong harbour; for southern-loop routings a Misool-area embarkation can be arranged so the voyage starts already deep in the lagoon country. Either way, the objective is the same — a same-day transition from airline seat to aft deck.
From US$450,000 per week plus expenses (Rates verified August 2026), with a 10–20% premium typical for December–March peak weeks. She periodically carries special offers — the desk confirms live terms for your dates.
Solace was refitted in 2025. Feadship hulls are built to be renewed for decades, and the refit means systems and interiors are up to today’s charter standard; the specific inventory for your dates is confirmed at enquiry.
Up to 12 guests with full crew — the standard international charter capacity. Cabin configuration for your party is confirmed at enquiry.
October to April, with the calmest conditions and best visibility; May to October she would typically follow the large-yacht rotation toward Komodo, making the shoulder months natural crossing windows.
