- How much does a luxury yacht charter in Indonesia cost?
- Rates are typical and quoted on request, and vary by vessel and season. In Bali, day boats typically run from IDR 12M for a half-day to IDR 195M for a premium full-day. For overnight cruising, Indonesian phinisi are typically IDR 40M–130M per night (explorer), IDR 75M–280M per night (luxury) and IDR 220M–410M per night (bespoke). Every rate is confirmed on request.
- What's included in a private charter?
- A private charter typically includes the full crew, a private chef, fuel within the itinerary, water toys such as snorkel and dive gear, kayaks and SUPs, all onboard meals, soft drinks and basic beer and wine — inclusions vary by vessel. A separate APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance) covers fuel beyond the itinerary, port fees, premium beverages and special requests.
- How many guests can a charter take?
- Guest capacity varies by vessel — intimate crewed yachts typically sleep six to a dozen guests across several cabins, while larger yachts and day boats carry more. Each vessel's exact guest capacity is listed on its page.
- When is the best time to sail Komodo, Raja Ampat or the Banda Sea?
- Komodo is strong from April to October, with many vessels sailing year-round. Raja Ampat is best from October to April, typically as a 10–14 night voyage from Sorong. The Banda Sea and Spice Islands sail only in October–November and April–May.
- How do I book, and what deposit is required?
- Booking follows a simple flow: a no-payment inquiry, a shortlist from our desk, and a captain's hold of up to 14 days while you decide. A deposit then secures the charter — the amount and schedule follow each vessel's own terms and are confirmed in your proposal, never a fixed platform rate. The balance falls due before departure, followed by a pre-charter call, and then your voyage.
