A week aboard

Seven days, and nowhere to be.

How a week in Raja Ampat actually unfolds — dawn snorkels, a hike above Piaynemo, dinner on a beach nobody else reached.

In short

A yacht holiday is the charter without the dive schedule: the same vessel and crew, paced for people who want the archipelago rather than the bottom time.

  • Snorkelling, island hikes and village visits alongside the diving
  • Seven nights covers the central archipelago comfortably
  • October to April for calm seas and the best visibility
  • Works for couples and for families — the pace is yours

Day by day

How a week unfolds

A typical seven-night route. Yours will differ — this is the shape, not a timetable.

  1. 01

    Arrive & sail

    Into Sorong, aboard by afternoon, and anchored off Mioskon by dusk.

  2. 02

    Dampier Strait

    Cape Kri in the morning, then Mansuar Island and a shallow reef for the snorkellers.

  3. 03

    Wayag

    The karst lagoons, and the climb for the view everyone has seen and few have stood in.

  4. 04

    Piaynemo

    A boardwalk hike above the islets, then a long afternoon at anchor.

  5. 05

    Boo & Fiabacet

    Swim-throughs at the Boo Islands, and snorkelling over the southern reefs.

  6. 06

    Manta Sandy

    The cleaning station in the morning, Cape Kri again if the current is right.

  7. 07

    Back to Sorong

    Breakfast at sea, alongside by mid-morning, and the airport half an hour away.

Four nights covers the Dampier core. Ten adds Misool; eleven adds Cendrawasih Bay.

Who it is for

Couples and families, differently

The same vessel serves both, but the week is built differently.

Couples

Quiet anchorages, late breakfasts and a beach dinner the crew sets while you are still in the water.

Families

Shallow snorkel sites, space to spread out, and a crew used to children aboard.

Mixed parties

Divers dive while everyone else snorkels or hikes. The tender runs both ways.

Milestones

Anniversaries and birthdays, with the crew briefed before you board.

The season

When to come

October to April is the season: calmest seas, best visibility, and the reefs at their most active.

Mantas peak December to March. Whale sharks are in Cendrawasih Bay year-round, if your route reaches that far.
