Raja Ampat yacht cruising

Raja Ampat

One of the world's most remote and biologically rich marine regions. Hundreds of jungle-covered limestone islands scattered across turquoise seas, defined by scale, silence and extraordinary natural abundance.

Located in eastern Indonesia, Raja Ampat is one of the most remote and biologically rich marine regions on Earth. Comprising hundreds of jungle-covered limestone islands scattered across turquoise seas, Raja Ampat is a destination defined by scale, silence and extraordinary natural abundance.

Vast distances, minimal infrastructure and protected waters make liveaboard-style yacht itineraries essential for accessing its reefs, lagoons and uninhabited islands. This is expedition cruising at its most rewarding, where each day unfolds around tides, light and wildlife.
