How we ranked value
We divided each yacht's published price per night by its maximum guest capacity to get a price per guest per night, then ranked from lowest upwards. That is the fairest single number for groups that share the cost, but it only holds when the yacht is full.
We then checked the tradeoffs behind each number, such as cabin count, length and build year, so you can see what you give up for the lower price.
Raffles ranks best value overall, even though Augustine is a few dollars cheaper per guest, because Raffles is newer, built in 2023, and spreads 14 guests across 6 cabins instead of 4. That is a better balance for most groups. Velocean is included as the value choice for groups that want a large yacht of 50 m.
- Price per guest per night when the yacht is full.
- Cabins compared with guests, since low per guest prices often mean shared cabins.
- Length and build year as a guide to space and age.
- Regions, because most value yachts are listed for Komodo only.
The honest tradeoffs
Value usually means sharing. Augustine sleeps 15 guests in 4 cabins, so most guests share with two or three others. Raffles and Ikan Kayu spread guests across more cabins, which suits groups of friends better than families wanting privacy.
Value is mostly a Komodo story. Augustine, Raffles, Ikan Kayu, Splendour and Teman are listed for Komodo, and Augustine also for Sumbawa. Jakare is the strongest value pick that is also listed for Raja Ampat, where prices start higher.
Small groups should look at total price, not per guest price. A couple pays the full nightly rate either way, so a small yacht like Splendour, from US$2,490 per night, will cost less overall than a large yacht with a low per guest figure.
Value also depends on how long you stay. A 5 night Komodo charter on Raffles costs five times its nightly rate of US$3,800 for the whole yacht before extras, which divides to a modest per person cost for a full group. Run the same sum for your shortlist and your real headcount before deciding.
Value yacht prices compared
Prices are for the whole yacht per night and include crew, meals and fuel for the standard route. Park fees, diving, alcohol and gratuity are extra. The fleet median is about US$7,500 per night, so every yacht here sits well below a typical charter except Velocean, which is included as the best value large yacht.

How to get the most value from your booking
Fill the yacht. The per guest figures above only apply at full capacity, so confirm your headcount before comparing. Choose 3 to 5 nights in Komodo, where most value yachts sail, and consider shoulder months within the April to November season.
Add the extras to your budget: Komodo park fees of roughly US$50 to 120 per guest for a 3 to 4 night charter, a crew tip of about 10% of the charter fee, and drinks. We book at direct owner rates with no broker fees, and our team replies within 10 minutes on WhatsApp.
If you are a small group or a couple, look at our cabin charters page, where you pay for a cabin on select yachts instead of the whole yacht.
