Why book 2027 early
The strongest yachts in Raja Ampat operate one main season a year and typically run 20–25 back-to-back charters between October and April. That means only 20–25 possible start dates on the entire yacht — and holiday weeks (Christmas, New Year, Easter, Chinese New Year) are usually taken 12+ months out.
