Charter Details and Pricing

Our charter model is built on transparency and bespoke service. We provide all-inclusive proposals for journeys typically ranging from 7 to 12 nights, ensuring there are no surprises. With bookings often made 6 to 12 months in advance, the following questions address the fundamentals of our charter rates and what is included in your private voyage.

What are the charter rates for the zero emission phinisi?

Rates, which can vary by up to 20% between high and low seasons, are determined by destination and charter duration. We provide fully customised quotes for up to 12 guests upon consultation, with all-inclusive charters typically starting from $8,000 USD per night. This approach allows us to tailor every detail, from culinary programmes to dive itineraries, ensuring the price reflects your bespoke experience.

What is included in the charter fee?

The fee includes exclusive use of the yacht for your party, a full professional crew of 12, a private chef, and a PADI-certified dive master. All gourmet meals, snacks, and standard bar selections are included, as are onboard activities. National park fees, such as the Komodo entrance fee of approximately IDR 3,750,000 for foreign visitors, scuba diving, and premium spirits are typically additional expenses.

How do I book a charter?

The process begins with a consultation to understand your vision, after which our team crafts a sample itinerary and quote. To confirm your dates, a signed charter agreement and a 50% deposit are required. The final balance is typically due 60 days prior to embarkation. From there, we work closely with you to refine every aspect of your journey before you step aboard.

Itinerary and Customisation

A private charter is an expression of personal freedom across Indonesia’s 17,504 islands. Our expertise lies in translating your desires into a seamless voyage, often covering over 200 nautical miles in a single trip. We pride ourselves on flexibility and an intimate knowledge of the archipelago, from the Flores Sea to the Dampier Strait.

Can our itinerary be customised?

Absolutely. Customisation is the essence of a private charter. While we offer sample itineraries, the final route is crafted around your interests. Whether you wish to dedicate more time to diving among Misool’s 200+ documented sites, trekking to the iconic 300-meter viewpoint on Padar Island, or simply finding a secluded anchorage to relax, the journey is yours to define.

What is the best time of year to charter in Indonesia?

Indonesia’s vastness means there is always a perfect season for sailing. For Komodo, the dry season from April to October offers ideal conditions with water temperatures averaging 28°C. For Raja Ampat, the optimal period is October to April, when seas are calmest and visibility can exceed 30 meters, making it perfect for spotting large aggregations of manta rays.

Is the phinisi suitable for families with children?

Yes, our zero emission phinisi provides a superb and safe environment for multi-generational families. The crew is adept at engaging younger guests with tailored activities, from guided snorkelling in calm lagoons to nature walks on uninhabited islands. We can create child-friendly menus and ensure all necessary safety equipment is on board for peace of mind.

Sustainability and Technology

Our vessel represents a paradigm shift in luxury marine tourism. The core of our identity is a deep-seated commitment to preserving the fragile ecosystems we explore. This is achieved through pioneering technology and uncompromising operational standards.

How does the “zero emission” technology function?

Our vessel is propelled by a state-of-the-art electric motor powered by a substantial marine-grade battery bank. These batteries are recharged by an extensive array of high-efficiency solar panels integrated into the yacht’s design. This system allows for hours of silent, emission-free cruising, eliminating the noise, vibration, and pollution of traditional diesel engines and ensuring minimal disturbance to marine life.

What other sustainable practices are in place?

Our commitment extends far beyond propulsion. We operate with a strict single-use plastic ban, employ advanced onboard water treatment and waste management systems, and source provisions from local, organic, and sustainable suppliers. We actively support local conservation projects and adhere to a “leave no trace” philosophy in every anchorage we visit.

Safety and Logistics

Your safety and comfort are our highest priorities. The vessel is built and maintained to the most rigorous international standards, and our crew are seasoned professionals with extensive experience navigating the Indonesian archipelago.

What safety standards are followed on board?

The yacht complies with and often exceeds all international maritime safety regulations (SOLAS). It is equipped with the latest navigation, communication, and safety equipment, including life rafts, EPIRB, and comprehensive medical kits. Our crew is fully certified in first aid, firefighting, and emergency procedures, conducting regular drills to ensure preparedness.

How do we travel to the yacht’s embarkation point?

We facilitate all ground and air transfers to ensure a seamless connection. For Komodo itineraries, the primary airport is Labuan Bajo (LBJ). For Raja Ampat voyages, guests fly into Sorong (SOQ). Upon your arrival, our representatives will greet you and arrange a private transfer to the harbour where the yacht and its crew will be waiting to welcome you.
