A Komodo Luxury Collection

Raja Ampat’s Charter Specialist Concierge

A direct-booking, Native-Papuan-led private yacht charter desk — serving discerning travelers since 2014.

Folio I · In Brief

Raja Ampat Private Yacht Charter is a Komodo Luxury Collection brand: a senior travel concierge specializing in private yacht charters across the Indonesian archipelago. We are not a marketplace and not an aggregator — we charter ten specific vessels and answer every enquiry ourselves.


Who We Are
I Chapter

Who We Are

Komodo Luxury Collection has welcomed more than 4,800 international guests since 2014 across our charters in Komodo, Banda, and Raja Ampat. The Raja Ampat desk is led by Native-Papuan specialists who grew up navigating these islands — not commercial agents reading from a brochure.

We curate ten verified vessels for this region. Every captain, every chef, every dive master is someone our travel director has worked with personally. When we tell you a yacht suits honeymooners but is wrong for a family of six, that judgment comes from being aboard the vessel rather than from a database.

The Komodo Luxury Difference
II Chapter

The Komodo Luxury Difference

Most charter websites in Indonesia are aggregators. They list every vessel they can find and take a commission from the operator. The yacht crew never knows you until you arrive, and the markup is buried in the price.

We do the opposite. You speak with Maria Tafurwarsai — our Lead Travel Director, fourteen years in the role — before, during, and after the trip. Pricing is transparent: yacht rate, fuel, marine park fees, and an honest line for crew gratuity. Nothing hidden.

Captain Yance Mambrasar — Senior Phinisi Captain, 25 years across the Raja Ampat and Banda Sea routes. The first call we make when a charter needs a complex itinerary.

Responsible Yachting
IV Chapter

Responsible Yachting

Raja Ampat is a UNESCO-recognized marine biosphere and one of the most biodiverse reef systems on the planet. We sail under PHRI membership, KSOP Sorong licensing, and PADI Five-Star affiliation, and we partner with Reef Check Indonesia on conservation monitoring. Every charter follows reef-safe protocols, respects fishing village customary boundaries, and contributes to local park-management fees that fund ranger patrols.

Good to Know

Frequently Asked Questions

— I

Are you a yacht owner or an aggregator?

Neither. We are a specialist concierge that charters ten specific vessels we know personally. The yacht owners are independent operators, but we work with them under direct charter agreements with no marketplace markup.
— II

Where are you based?

Our charter desk is based in Sorong, West Papua — the gateway port to Raja Ampat — with sister teams in Labuan Bajo (Komodo) and Bali. All Raja Ampat charters depart Sorong (SOQ airport).
— III

How does direct booking save me money?

Aggregator platforms typically add 10–20% commission on top of the yacht rate. Booking through our concierge means you pay the published rate plus operational fees only — no third-party platform margin.
— IV

Do you handle international guests?

Yes — the majority of our guests are international, primarily from Europe, North America, Australia, and Singapore. All concierge correspondence is in English; multilingual crew can be requested for groups.
