When done properly, opting for a yacht charter presents the ultimate opportunity to relish yacht experiences without the responsibilities associated with ownership. Once aboard, you have complete autonomy to shape each day according to your desires. This liberating choice of chartering offers an exceptional way to create lasting holiday memories with our nearest and dearest.

To experience the unique sense of spaciousness, privacy, and top-notch service exclusive to private yachts, there are two straightforward choices. You can either purchase a yacht, assemble a crew, and take on the various duties of ownership, or opt to charter one. Chartering a yacht means committing only to the days you spend onboard, freeing you from the hassles of maintenance, crew management, and permits. While on a charter, your sole concern should be crafting cherished memories and relishing each day to the fullest.

During a private charter, you have the freedom to shape each day according to your desires. Whether you choose to wake up leisurely or witness the breathtaking sunrise, the choice is yours. Indulge in a breakfast tailored to your tastes before embarking on activities like snorkeling or relaxing on deck with a good book.

The crew is adept at arranging beach chairs for you on pristine stretches of white sand beside crystal-clear waters. Explore scenic hikes, dive into the vibrant underwater world, and culminate your day with a gourmet dinner as the sun sets. With its captivating landscapes and diverse offerings, Indonesia offers some of the most exhilarating charter experiences on the planet.

The ideal yacht is one that resonates with you personally. Yachts vary in size and amenities, catering to different preferences. Regardless of their differences, each yacht is unique, much like every charter guest. It's often said that the sky and the sea remain constant, regardless of the vessel you're on. What truly matters is selecting the yacht that suits your needs and preferences.

At the top end of the market, there are superyachts boasting state-of-the-art engineering systems and crews offering service akin to the world's finest resorts. These vessels epitomize luxury and sophistication.

Luxury yachts, while slightly below the superyacht tier in terms of amenities and price, still offer beautifully finished interiors, top-notch service, and friendly crews.

In Indonesia, the majority of charter yachts are geared towards scuba diving trips. Careful consideration is given to selecting the best vessels in terms of knowledgeable crews, safety measures, and onboard amenities, categorizing them as liveaboard yachts.

Each category comprises only the finest yachts available for charter in Indonesia, each capable of creating unforgettable memories at sea tailored to the specific needs and preferences of the client.

Yacht charters in Indonesia typically encompass exclusive use of the yacht, crew services, fuel, all meals, and activities, ensuring transparent pricing and minimal surprises in terms of additional costs.

While some charters may require extra expenses for alcoholic beverages and national park fees, a select few offer all-inclusive rates covering these items. Crew tips and dive courses are usually the only exclusions from the charter rate. For detailed information regarding inclusions and exclusions specific to each yacht, please inquire, and we will gladly provide a personalized overview on a case-by-case basis.

Private charters are scheduled based on your availability. Simply inform us of your preferred dates, and we will arrange for the yacht to be positioned at your chosen location and ready for departure. While last-minute bookings may be feasible in certain cases (within 1-2 weeks), we generally recommend booking at least six months in advance to guarantee your desired yacht, destination, and dates. It's important to note that some highly sought-after charter yachts are often reserved up to a year in advance, especially during peak seasons.

Indonesia's equatorial location ensures excellent weather conditions year-round. Seasonal variations align with calm seas and abundant sunshine. Generally, the period from April to September is optimal for cruising between Bali and Komodo. In October, yachts transition eastward through the Spice Islands to Raja Ampat, where they remain stationed from November to March. They then return westward through the Spice Islands to be based in Komodo by April.

Beyond these typical seasons and routes, exploration opportunities extend to Cenderawasih Bay, East Nusa Tenggara, and even Wakatobi. Repositioning fees may apply to cover yacht relocation expenses, but there are numerous destinations to discover beyond the usual cruising areas.

During a private charter, you have complete autonomy over your daily activities. While there will be a flexible itinerary based on your preferences, you have the freedom to modify it as you see fit. If you find yourself preferring certain activities or destinations over others, the cruise director will accommodate your wishes accordingly. Additionally, adjustments may be made to the itinerary based on weather conditions, such as reversing the route or altering sections to avoid adverse weather like rain or strong winds.

We're enthusiastic about assisting you! In fact, it's our passion that led us to pursue this career. Simply share your desires with us, and we'll generate numerous suggestions, refining them based on your feedback. We'll attentively consider your expectations and preferences, crafting a personalized itinerary. This will be complemented by a selection of suitable yachts, and we'll continue refining the plan until every detail aligns seamlessly. It's a privilege for us to contribute to such memorable journeys, and we derive immense satisfaction from being a part of creating unforgettable experiences during charters in Indonesia.

While certain yachts may require a minimum charter duration of 4 nights, we offer single-night charters and even day charters coupled with private jet flights for dragon sightings. For a truly satisfying charter experience in Komodo, we typically suggest a minimum of 3 to 6 nights, and no less than 5 nights in Raja Ampat.

Scuba diving for certified divers is covered by the charter rates. However, there might be cases where extra dive guides are necessary for larger groups, leading to an additional fee if the yacht's standard provision for dive masters or instructors is exceeded.

For anyone who wishes to try diving for the first time or is not yet certified, some yachts will offer Discovery Scuba Dives (DSDs) under the supervision of a PADI certified Instructor. Please let us know well in advance if you would like to try this as you will be required to fill out a medical questionnaire and possibly visit a physician prior to diving.

Komodo dragons flourish within the Komodo National Park located in Flores. The nearest airport and harbor are situated in Labuan Bajo. Among the park's islands, Rinca and Komodo are the largest and most frequently visited. However, during your private charter, you'll have the opportunity to explore some of the less frequented islands within the park as well.

There are numerous locations across Indonesia where you might have the chance to spot the elusive whale sharks. Our top recommendations are Triton Bay or Cenderawasih Bay, both located in West Papua. These sightings can be arranged through charters departing from various points such as Biak, Nabire, Manokwari, Kaimana, and even Ambon or Sorong, depending on your preference for adventure and cruising.

If you're traveling with children, we're delighted to suggest yachts that are specially equipped with the youngest travelers in mind. Certain yachts are purposefully designed with features such as high railings, enclosed indoor areas, and even onboard toys to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for children.

We've welcomed young sailors onboard as young as just a few weeks old. There's truly no age restriction for children and parents to enjoy a charter together.

Should you desire some exclusive time with your significant other, we can arrange for a nanny to accompany your charter. Qualified nannies are available for an extra fee, and we're happy to recommend reliable professionals upon request.

Typically, it's advisable to obtain a comprehensive travel insurance policy that includes emergency medical evacuation coverage. If you intend to scuba dive, it's recommended to acquire specialty dive insurance. It's important to note that travel insurance usually does not cover incidents related to diving.

Indonesia spans a vast archipelago comprising around 17,000 islands, extending approximately 5,000km (3,100 miles) along the equator. Some of these islands host active volcanoes, with occasional eruptions occurring. However, in recent years, such eruptions have led to less than two full days of regional airport closures. Consequently, the likelihood of a volcano disrupting your holiday or flights is indeed minimal.

Earthquakes are frequent along the Ring of Fire due to the movement of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface, leading to the release of accumulated pressure. While seismic activity poses risks on land, there are typically no known dangers associated with earthquakes at sea.

It may come as a surprise, but being at sea during a tsunami is considered a safe location.
