Raja Ampat Yacht Charter for 10–12 Guests
Seven yachts sleep ten to twelve. The one question that decides between them is whether every couple gets a cabin of their own.
7 Raja Ampat yachts sleep 10 to 12 guests, with published rates from USD 4,830 – USD 18,700 per night. 5 of them hold two guests per cabin, so every couple has a room. Silolona sleeps twelve in five suites and Fenides eleven in five, which means one cabin takes three people.

Sorted by nightly rate. The berths-per-cabin column is the one to read first: 2.0 means nobody shares with anyone they did not arrive with.

The question that decides the shortlist
Six couples travelling together need six lockable doors. At this capacity that is not a given, and it is the single most common reason a charter falls apart late in the process.
Nataraja, Kayra Phinisi, The Oracle, Alila Purnama, Vela all divide their berths two to a cabin. Fenides carries 11 guests in 5 cabins, and Silolona carries 12 guests in 5 cabins — workable for a family, awkward for a group of friends. Ask which specific cabin absorbs the third person before you agree the rate, because it is usually the master, and the person in it will be sharing with a day bed rather than a bed.

Where the money goes at this size
The spread inside this one capacity band is wider than most people expect: Nataraja at USD 4,830 and Silolona at USD 18,700 both sleep twelve. Nearly four times the rate buys a purist 47.85-metre phinisi with five antique-detailed master and guest suites, seventeen crew, a PADI dive centre, three tenders and unlimited massage. The cheaper end buys the hull, the crew and the route, which for many groups is the whole point.
Per person the arithmetic flatters this group size. A full twelve-guest charter on the median yacht in this band lands near USD 899 per person per night, against roughly USD 1,033 for the median yacht in the four-to-eight band. See the full charter cost breakdown for what sits on top of the nightly rate.

10–12 guest charter questions
Can twelve guests each have their own cabin on a Raja Ampat yacht?+
Six couples need six cabins, and Nataraja, Kayra Phinisi, The Oracle, Vela each provide exactly that. Silolona sleeps twelve across five suites, so one suite has to take three people. Fenides sleeps eleven in five cabins because its 20 m² master carries a double plus a single day bed.
What is the cheapest Raja Ampat yacht for a group of twelve?+
Nataraja at USD 4,830 per night — USD 403 per person with the boat full. It is a 46-metre two-masted classic phinisi with six cabins and twelve crew. The premium and luxury tiers at the same capacity run to USD 18,700 a night.
How can a yacht sleep eleven when eleven is an odd number?+
Because one cabin is not a pair. Fenides puts a 20 m² master on the lower deck with a double bed plus a single day bed, so a family of three takes one room. The remaining four cabins are two upper-deck doubles and two lower-deck twins. It is the standard way a phinisi reaches an odd berth count.
Is a twelve-guest charter better value per person than a six-guest one?+
Substantially. The median yacht at 10–12 berths works out at roughly USD 899 per person per night when full. The median yacht at 4–8 berths works out at around USD 1,033 per person. You are dividing a whole-yacht rate across twice as many people while the vessel itself only gets marginally more expensive.
Do bigger cabins come with the bigger yacht?+
Not reliably. Celestia's lower-deck staterooms are 14 m² on a 45-metre hull, while Kudanil Explorer gives every one of its eight cabins 30.5 m² including an 11 m² private balcony. Cabin area at this capacity depends on how the interior volume was divided, not on the length of the boat.
How much crew comes with a twelve-guest charter?+
Between ten and eighteen, depending on the vessel. The Oracle runs ten crew for twelve guests, Alila Purnama eighteen for ten. The gap shows up in how quickly a second tender launches, whether a dive guide is dedicated to your group, and whether the galley can run a beach dinner and a dinner on board on the same night.
