Indonesia Yacht Charters
Firstly, a selection of some of the yachts currently available in Indonesia.
Situated along the equator between the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, the 13,000 diverse and exotic islands of Indonesia have long embodied paradise on Earth. Of course the ideal way to experience the best that this amazing nautical region can offer is by water, on a private luxury Indonesian yacht charter.
From the cityscapes of Java to the designated World Heritage Site of Komodo, home to the world’s largest lizard, Indonesia has everything to offer as an exotic and beautiful charter yacht vacation. Relax on isolated white sand beaches and at luxury spa retreats, or go on an adrenaline-fuelled adventure jetting past ancient mangroves and teeming reefs.

Java, Indonesia[/caption]
The world’s most populous island, Java offers travellers modern luxuries sitting side by side with ancient temples and natural beauty. A perfect destination for history hunters, amongst the museums and galleries Java also contains three cultural UNESCO World Heritage Sites:
- Borobudur Temple Compounds
- Prambanan Temple Compounds
- Sangiran Early Man Site
At the extreme tip of south western Java lies Ujung Kulon, the island’s natural UNESCO World Heritage Site. Visitors to the site may catch a glimpse of smoke from an active volcano, or be lucky enough to see rare and endangered wildlife, including the critically endangered Javan rhinoceros.
Java – and in particular Jakarta – presents a golden opportunity to revel in its contemporary nightlife and its hot, exotic atmosphere. There are plenty of high end bars, restaurants and nightclubs with a distinctly Javanese flavour that make the most of spectacular ocean views and jungle scenery. Relax and enjoy open air entertainment after a long day exploring the luxury and boutique stores.

Famed for its diving sites amongst the Tongean islands, Sulawesi is anything but repetitive: 8 national parks – 4 of them mostly marine – cover large areas of the islands, from the volcanic north to the mountainous south east. Heading into the interior, travellers will uncover ancient caves full of wall paintings and tombs carved out of the mountainsides which are still visited today.
Bitung, a picturesque harbour town in North Sulawesi, acts as the gateway to rich jungle environments home to flora and fauna not found in any other region of the world. Explore the modern city and discover the rich cultural history of the island: its art, music, religion and cuisine are laid out bare for those who go seeking, and Lemeh is its own treasure trove of diving spots.

Client Testimonials
What our clients say about their charter experience.
Hi Trina, O’Mega – just lovely. The overhaul in 2011 has been tastefully done and many appreciated her glossy internal finish. Very well appointed and maintained. We were all very proud to be on-board her that is a definte! The Crew – what a group of professionals. They did an outstanding job. Yannis and Maria in particular were a huge help to me. Everyone spoke good English which encouraged general conversation and interaction with the crew. We all fell in love with Paulo the laundry fairy! The watersport team were very attentive and provided the appropriate instruction and guidance. So much so some guests tried some sports for the first time successfully. The guests very much enjoyed their time with the crew in all its forms. Charter on O'MEGA in Croatia, Jun

Arie and his crew where amazing, we were very pleased with everything, food was great, water sports were great and very fun, the diving instructor was super, 6 of us got there PADI and are very proud. Also the masseuse was superb. Thanks a lot and if we will have another boat trip in the future we will surely think of you. Greetings from all the members of our family and many thanks. MUTIARA LAUT / Komodo / July 3-10
Dear Josh, Thanks a lot for your kind help with the charter in Indonesia. When we got there, we understood how difficult it was for you to find a yacht there! Everything worked perfectly. Emi is the Treasure of Salila. That goes without saying. She was our good angel for the whole trip. And she was perfect in anything she did. She was amazing. The crew was also always friendly and ready to help! And we generally felt very well taken care of. The towable arrangements worked perfect! Exactly as I wanted :-) The diving courses: The ratio of instructors per capita was excellent! All the instructors were knowledgeable, enthusiastic and generally very pleasant people. We enjoyed our time with them. Diving there in Indonesia was spectacular! And Salila is very well prepared for anything related to diving! Alcohol arrangements worked perfect, thanks to Emi :-))))) The food was adequate, given the number of people, different tastes and the one-week-no-harbour travel :-) The boat quality. I would say it was a precise match for an expedition tour. Salila exactly met our expectations. It was not a luxury yacht, but we were not disappointed a single moment :-) Spacious, comfortable, honest, we liked it a lot! And two master-cabins worked sooo well!!! We had our parents and ourselves treated to those rooms, while other guests did not feel downshifted in any manner. So, overall that was a fantastic trip! We ticked all the boxes! - Deserted Islands – yes, - Island with the lake inside - please! - Volcano island - enjoyed! - Comodo dragons - two times - Manta rays - wow! - Hiking, beach combing, snorkelling, kayaking – super - waterfall jumping - yep! So the tour was really rather an adventure for the active people like us! We liked it a lot. Thank you once again. We really appreciated your advice and more and more relied on your opinion when choosing the boat. We will keep bothering you with our future requests. SALILA / Indonesia / July 10-23
Hi Amanda – Thanks for following up. Yes the yacht and crew were fantastic all around. We were very happy. Thanks for your help. JNC Chartered MUSTIQUE in the Caribbean in Jan
Dear Amanda, Apologies for the delayed response, I just returned home from traveling and am finally catching up on emails. The ZEN charter was absolutely incredible! I emailed Eddie as well and let him know how much everyone enjoyed the charter! The yacht and crew were both exceptional, everyone really went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure we were having the best possible experience. We had to change the itinerary a bit as the weather was better in the south than the north, but everything we saw was stunning so absolutely no complaints there as well. Thanks again and happy new year- look forward to working with you in the future!
