What It Costs, and Why
Boats here are chartered per boat and split across your group, not sold per seat. Here are the rates, the fixed extras, and the four things that move the number.
Get a QuoteIn short
A Raja Ampat speedboat day trip is chartered per boat and split across your group, so the per-person figure falls as the group grows; we quote each trip on request. The marine park permit is separate at around IDR 1,000,000 per person.
- Per boat, not per person
- Six people pay roughly a third each of what two pay
- Permit, flights and lodging sit outside the rate
- All figures indicative as of June 2026

We quote each trip rather than publish a fixed rate, because the number moves with fuel, season, route distance and boat availability. Send your dates and group size and we will come back in IDR, in writing.
Why per boat, not per person
There is no seat to buy. You charter the whole boat and divide the cost across your group, which is how every operator here works — the fuel and the skipper cost the same whether two people or eight are aboard.
So the per-person figure is arithmetic, not a price list. Six people split one boat six ways; two split the same boat two ways. Same boat, same day, a far lower of the cost.
That is why the first thing we ask is how many of you there are. Any quote given before that number is a guess, and any operator quoting you a firm per-person price without it is rounding in their own favour.
