INDONESIA: Yacht Charter in Raja Ampat, Komodo & Bali
Explore Indonesia by yacht across two complementary seasons: Raja Ampat from November to April, followed by Komodo and Bali from May to October. Five BGYB yachts are available throughout the archipelago, from a 30-metre phinisi to a 40-metre expedition yacht for private cruising.
Indonesia Yacht Charter: Two Seasons
Charter a yacht in Indonesia and plan your journey around the archipelago’s two main cruising seasons. From November to April, Raja Ampat reveals the reefs of the Coral Triangle in particularly favourable conditions. From May to October, Komodo and Bali take over, from Rinca and Padar to the anchorages of Lombok. THE ORACLE and CELESTIA alternate between Raja Ampat in winter and Komodo in summer, while ANNE BONNY cruises both regions year-round. KAYRA and KAILANA PREMIER focus on Komodo and Bali. From a 30-metre phinisi to a 40-metre expedition yacht, the five available yachts offer different ways to explore Indonesia by sea, with rates starting at USD 32,550 per week + ALL.
Why Charter a Yacht in Indonesia?
When Should You Cruise Raja Ampat?
From November to April, Raja Ampat becomes one of Indonesia’s principal cruising grounds. Located at the heart of the Coral Triangle, the archipelago is particularly renowned for the richness of its reefs and marine biodiversity. THE ORACLE and CELESTIA spend their winter season here, while ANNE BONNY can also cruise the region year-round.
When Should You Explore Komodo and Bali?
From May to October, cruising shifts towards Komodo and Bali. Around Komodo, itineraries can combine the landscapes of Padar, the dragons of Rinca and remote island anchorages, while Bali and Lombok extend the journey further west. All five yachts offer programmes suited to this part of the Indonesian cruising season.
Which Yachts Are Available in Indonesia?
Five BGYB yachts currently offer the opportunity to explore the archipelago: THE ORACLE, CELESTIA, ANNE BONNY, KAYRA and KAILANA PREMIER. Their programmes vary by season and cruising area, with the fleet ranging from a 30-metre phinisi to a 40-metre expedition yacht. Rates start from USD 32,550 per week + ALL.
Why Is Indonesia Best Explored by Sea?
With more than 17,000 islands spread across three time zones, Indonesia offers exceptional variety for yacht cruising. A private charter can connect coral reefs, volcanic landscapes, secluded anchorages and remote archipelagos, allowing guests to experience areas that are often far easier to reach and understand from the sea.
What Culture Can You Discover Along the Way?
The experience extends far beyond beaches and marine life. Stops can reveal temple ceremonies in Bali, traditional boatbuilding communities in Sulawesi and the trading history of the Spice Islands. Each cruising region adds a different cultural dimension to a yacht charter through Indonesia.
