 5/5

Truly the most wonderful trip! My husband and I joined Barefoot Yachts in Raja Ampat for our honeymoon and we wished we never had to leave. We traveled from the States and the trip coordinators were so so helpful for every detail. The crew on the ship were friendly and professional. As seasoned travelers, we have to Raja Ampat is by far the most pristine beauty we have ever experienced. The diving was just spectacular! We hope to travel with Barefoot Yachts again soon! Cannot recommend it enough!

Have just finished a fabulous 6 night private charter on LEYLA into mid and northern Raja Ampat. Roman, Dody, Chris and the rest of the crew were totally first class. Nothing was too much trouble. We dived (spectacular albeit viz was not as good as I had hoped), kayaked, paddle boarded, dinners in the beach, hiked up to amazing viewing platforms and lots lots more. All in all, a really memorable family holiday (3 adults and 5 teenage kids), with little to no WiFi (a relief!). Sebastian was first class across all the planning stages and everything went by seamlessly. We shipped in some wine from Bali (recommended) and brought our own spirits (recommended). Food (breakfast, lunch and dinner) was excellent. Highly recommend these guys. Michael and Fiona

Thanks to Barefoot Yachts, we could enjoy an unforgettable yacht trip from Bira to Komodo. The journey was smooth and well structured from the beginning to the end, it was an amazing adventure! Our boat, Duyung Baru, was super spacious, it is an elegant and well thought-through boat which allows comfort and privacy if needed. The crew been super helpful and friendly, we haven't had to think or worry about anything. Big thanks also to the kitchen chef Yani, she was the star on the boat and comforted us with her super delicious meals throughout the day.

Our yacht trip on Senja has made this Indonesia vacation the best holiday we have ever been on. Thank you Barefoot Yachts! Sebastian saw us through 3 years of planning because of covid and we are so lucky he is as good as he is! Then this wonderful boat and crew. Senja is a true work of art and highly recommended if you want to do a more private cruise. The crew was efficient, extremely well trained and excellent at what they do. Anay our massage therapist was one of the best we have ever had. Then Alberto our cruise Director. We cannot praise and thank him enough. As a master diver and instructor, his professionalism, warmth, extensive knowledge and teaching talent is extremely rare to find. Alberto's love of what he does was evident and it rubbed off on all of us. Throughout our 8 day trip, we were wined and dined, loved the fireworks and the special Anniversary and Birthday dinners master chef Khalil came up with. This was truly an exceptional experience. We will be back!

Bucket list holiday, superbly supported by advice from Barefoot and hosted by Tony and the crew on A'boya! This is a remote holiday so you aren't going to get cocktails delivered by the pool, but you will eat like a king and see places and experience things that are all too rare these days.

Amazing boat, attentive crew, dream itinerary, Delicious food (ate too much). I couldnt ask for more, it exceeded all expectations. I look forward to doing another destination trip using this company. I recommend them without reservation. We were on the splendour.

Why visit Komodo National Park

Our Komodo yacht charter service for traditional pinisi boats offers an escape back in time for families and groups of friends beyond the reach of common way holidays.

The most popular highlight of a Komodo boat charter are the famous Komodo dragons on Rinca or Komodo Island. These two islands are the only places in the world to meet this prehistoric predator. Next to reptile inhabitants, the islands around Komodo offer abundant marine sites for diving and snorkeling. The dive sites offer chances to spot large pelagic fish, dugongs, mantas, turtles and sharks.

Komodo Dragon

Meet the last dragons on earth, the Komodo Dragons, while cruising around Komodo National Park. The park was founded in 1980 in order to preserve its fragile habitat, only found in this tiny corner of the world.

Manta Rays

Taka Makassar is one of the most popular site for witnessing large aggregations of Manta Rays. Very often you can also see them close by in and around sites such as Mawan or further south in Manta Alley.

Secret Beaches

Each boat and Cruise Director has some own secret beaches around the Komodo National Park. Let the crew aboard the Yacht guide you to lesser-known and secluded wonders away from the pressure of mainstream tourism.

Padar is a grassland covered picturesque landscape connected by 3 blue bays. Each bay features unique beaches, one is a sparkling white sanded beach, another is a very unique blush pink and the last is a black beach.

Kalong Island

The flying foxes, a varied species of a fruit bat, of Kalong Island ascend at dusk for their nightly hunt. The setting is truly unique with thousands of them rising into the sky during the orange and red glow of a Komodo Sunset.

Komodo is a thrill for advanced divers. Sites like Batu Bolong, Castle Rock and Shotgun are packed with life and can offer some of the best diving in the world. Cruising from one dive site to the next gives you a chance to rediscover some of the most varied undersea flora and fauna.

Beginner Diving

Although Komodo is well known for several advanced diving sites, there are many protected sites for kids and beginners. Sebayur, Kanawa, Siaba Besar, Bidadari are just some of them. Komodo is a wonderful place to get your feet wet and explore the world of diving.
