Yacht charter in Indonesia: a world to explore,
with a guide who knows it from the inside

Indonesia is one of the most breathtaking destinations on earth — and one of the least understood. With more than 17,000 islands, marine biodiversity unmatched anywhere else, and cultures that shift with every anchorage, this archipelago is built to be discovered by sea.

A yacht charter in Indonesia aboard a luxury yacht or a traditional phinisi opens up anchorages you cannot reach any other way, world-class dive sites — from Komodo sailing to the reefs of Raja Ampat — and a fully tailor-made adventure, with no crowds and no compromise.

Pick your course for your Indonesia yacht charter

Three exceptional archipelagos, three unique experiences. Komodo, Raja Ampat or the Banda Islands — your Indonesia yacht charter starts here.

To plan your yacht charter in Indonesia, the official resources of Komodo National Park and the UNESCO listing for Raja Ampat are excellent starting points.

Yacht Komodo — volcanic landscapes and turquoise waters of Komodo National Park Best season · April – October
Destination 01

Yacht Charter Komodo

Ranked among the top ten destinations in the world by National Geographic, Komodo National Park is a one-hour direct flight from Bali. Its reputation is well earned: a yacht Komodo charter delivers volcanic landscapes, some of the richest waters on the planet, and an encounter with the legendary Komodo dragons.

Ideal for a 3-day Komodo sailing trip from Labuan Bajo, or an extended 7-night cruise combining Flores, Rinca and the wrecks of Banta Island.

Yacht Raja Ampat — karst islands and pristine reefs of the Last Paradise Best season · November – March
Destination 02

Yacht Charter Raja Ampat

Nicknamed the Last Paradise, Raja Ampat brings together more than 1,500 islands at the eastern edge of Indonesia. Its marine biodiversity is the highest measured anywhere on earth: whale sharks, manta rays, and untouched coral reefs make a yacht Raja Ampat charter an extraordinary diving experience.

A private yacht in Raja Ampat unlocks secret anchorages well off the beaten track, set against karst rock formations and forests that fall straight into the sea.

Yacht charter Banda Islands — pristine beaches and the spice history of the Moluccas Best season · June – October
Destination 03

Yacht Charter Banda Islands

Once the world capital of the spice trade, Banda Neira is the main island of the Moluccas archipelago. Here history meets diving: 17th-century Dutch forts overlook crystal-clear waters patrolled by sharks, turtles and Napoleon wrasse.

The Banda Islands are among the most preserved diving destinations in South-East Asia — a secret only a yacht charter in Indonesia can fully reveal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before you sail

The seasons are inverted, so you can sail year-round. For Komodo sailing, the ideal window is April to October. For Raja Ampat, the best time to dive is November to April, with smooth seas and outstanding underwater visibility.
Yes. The classic sailing Komodo 3D2N itinerary departs from Labuan Bajo, a one-hour direct flight from Bali. We can build a 3-day private yacht escape, or extend to 4–7 nights to add Padar, Pink Beach, Manta Point and the dive sites of Banta Island.
Indonesia is best known for sailing Komodo phinisi — traditional two-masted wooden sailing boats built in South Sulawesi using a 600-year-old craft, refitted to luxury yacht standards. Motor yachts are also available for faster transfers and more contemporary interiors. There are no catamarans cruising in Indonesia, in order to protect this local know-how.
Pricing varies with yacht size, season and itinerary. Cabin charters in Komodo or Raja Ampat start from around 380–740 USD per night per person. Full private yacht charters run from 2,800 USD per night for a small phinisi up to 22,000 USD per night for a large luxury yacht. Park fees, fuel, dives and gratuities may be charged separately.
No. Bareboat charters are not permitted in Indonesian waters. Every private yacht charter must include a licensed captain and crew. The upside: you sail with people who know every reef, anchorage and dive site personally.
Absolutely. All our itineraries are "snorkeling-friendly". Each day you have access to shallow reefs, iconic beaches, jungle hikes and cultural stops. A dedicated guide accompanies you in the water and on land — including the Komodo dragon trek and Padar viewpoints.
