Mutiara Laut Raja Ampat Yacht Charter

Why Mutiara Laut works for Raja Ampat

Mutiara Laut is a mainstay of Indonesian yachting: warm timber interiors, seven cabins including a master, and a crew who know Raja Ampat's Misool anchorages well. She offers strong value for larger family charters.

• 7 cabins for up to 14 guests
• Traditional phinisi character with modern comfort
• Well-established Raja Ampat itineraries
• Strong value for larger family charters

Mutiara Laut cabins, layout and deck spaces

Mutiara Laut is a 46-metre traditional phinisi laid out across three levels — wheelhouse, main deck and lower deck. All seven cabins are en-suite, with the Owner's cabin and its private terrace on the main deck and the remaining six cabins (front cabins, doubles and twins) on the lower deck.

Cabin types

• Owner's Cabin — Main deck, private terrace — best cabin on board for couples wanting extra privacy
• Double Cabins — Lower deck, double bed — suited to couples
• Front / Twin Cabins — Lower deck, twin beds or double + single configurations — flexible for families with children or friends
