Raja Ampat Yacht Charter with Diving Equipment
Private yachts with full onboard diving setups — tanks, weights, compressors, tenders, PADI-trained guides and dedicated dive decks for Misool, Dampier Strait and Wayag.
A Raja Ampat yacht charter with diving equipment should be chosen based on tanks, compressor, dive guides, tenders, safety setup and whether diving is included or charged separately. Not every private yacht carries the same dive setup — equipment and inclusions should be confirmed before booking.

Snorkelling equipment
All well-run Raja Ampat yachts carry a full snorkelling kit — masks, fins, snorkels and, on many yachts, wetsuits and rash guards. Kids' sizing is available on family-friendly yachts. See family yacht charters.
Tender and dive support
Dive-ready yachts run two tenders — one for dives, one for snorkelling or beach transfers — so mixed-ability groups aren't stuck waiting. Tender specs (length, engine, dive-recall procedure) are yacht-specific.

Frequently asked questions
Do Raja Ampat yachts include tanks and weights?+
Most dive-ready Raja Ampat yachts include tanks and weights in the base dive package, with a per-day or per-dive supplement for guides where applicable. Exact inclusions are yacht-specific — request current diving setup before booking.
Do yachts have a dive compressor onboard?+
Most yachts with a proper dive setup carry an onboard compressor and enough tank stock for 3+ dives per day. Some smaller phinisi rely on shore refills — confirm before booking a diving-heavy trip.
Is Nitrox available in Raja Ampat?+
Nitrox fills are available on selected yachts and usually charged as a supplement per fill. Not every yacht has a Nitrox membrane onboard — confirm availability per yacht.
Can I rent full dive gear onboard?+
Most dive-ready yachts rent full gear (BCD, regulator, wetsuit, mask, fins, dive computer). Rental fleet and sizing are yacht-specific — send sizes in advance.
How many tenders and dive guides per group?+
Well-set-up yachts run two tenders and split the group by ability. Guide-to-diver ratios are usually 1:4 or 1:6. Full details per yacht are confirmed pre-charter.
Is a DAN oxygen kit onboard?+
Yes on all well-run dive-ready yachts, alongside a first-aid kit, dive-recall procedure and clear evacuation planning.
