Folio I · Overview

Private Yachting in the Last True Marine Frontier

Raja Ampat sits at the very heart of the Coral Triangle — an archipelago of more than fifteen hundred islands that holds the world record for marine biodiversity. The region is too wild and too dispersed for resort holidays. The right way to see it is by yacht: anchored each evening beside a different karst island, snorkeling above coral gardens denser than anywhere else on earth, and waking up to mornings nobody else gets to share.

Komodo Luxury Collection charters ten specific vessels for this journey — not a marketplace, not an aggregator. Our captains, chefs, and dive masters are people we know personally, and our travel director answers your enquiry herself. Pricing is transparent. There are no commission layers between you and the yacht.

From a three-day Dampier Strait sampler to the full fourteen-day Four Kings expedition, every charter is shaped around your dates, your interests, and your pace.

Frequently Asked Questions

— I

What is a private yacht charter in Raja Ampat?

A private yacht charter is exclusive hire of a vessel and its full crew for the entire trip. You are the only guests on board. The itinerary, the dive plan, the menu, the wake-up times — all yours to set.
— II

How long should a Raja Ampat charter be?

Three days is the absolute minimum and only covers the Dampier Strait. Seven days is the most popular length and reaches Wayag or Misool with two full dive days. Ten to fourteen days covers the complete Four Kings route — North (Wayag), Central (Dampier), South (Misool) and the Equator Islands.
— III

What is included in the charter price?

All meals and non-alcoholic beverages, standard cruising fuel, snorkeling equipment, kayaks and paddleboards where available, an English-speaking guide, and the entire crew. Marine park fees, premium wines, scuba dives with tanks, and crew gratuity are typically billed separately for full transparency.
— IV

When is the best time to charter?

October through April is the prime season — calm seas, twenty to forty metre visibility, and manta aggregation peaks. We sail year-round and adjust routes around regional winds.
— V

Do I need diving certifications?

No. PADI Discover Scuba and Open Water courses are available on board, and the snorkeling alone justifies the trip. Certified divers benefit most from the diving charter or private liveaboard.
— VI

How do I get to Sorong?

Fly into Domine Eduard Osok Airport (SOQ) in Sorong, West Papua, Indonesia. Daily connections via Jakarta (CGK) and Makassar (UPG). Our concierge meets you at arrivals; the transfer to your yacht is approximately 20 minutes.
