Private Yacht Charter for 10 to 12 Guests in Indonesia

Which yachts take 10 to 12 guests?

Group size is only half the question. The real constraint is cabins: twelve guests as six couples need six double cabins, while a family with children can share fewer, larger cabins. Check the cabin count before the guest maximum.

How much does it cost per person?

Because you pay for the whole yacht, a full group is the most efficient way to charter. Raffles at US$3,800 per night with 14 guests is about US$271 per guest per night. Andamari, with six cabins at US$5,500 per night, is about US$458 per guest when full with 12. A 5 night Komodo charter on Teman comes to US$21,250 for the yacht, or roughly US$1,770 per guest for 12 people before park fees, drinks and gratuity.

Larger luxury yachts change the picture but not the logic. Aliikai takes 14 guests in 7 cabins at US$9,900 per night, about US$707 per guest when full, and Otium, built in 2026 with 6 cabins, is US$14,000 per night for 12 guests. Groups that want extra space often book a yacht rated for more guests than they have, so nobody shares a cabin they would rather not.

What should a group check before booking?

Larger groups have more opinions and more dietary needs. A few questions answered early make the trip far smoother.

• Cabin mix: how many doubles, twins and bunk cabins, and whether each has its own bathroom
• Tender capacity: whether everyone can go ashore together or in two runs
• Diving: how many guests dive, since gear and guides are charged extra
• Dining: whether the whole group can sit at one table
• Payment: usually 50% to confirm and 50% 60 days before the charter, so agree internally who pays what

Komodo or Raja Ampat for a group?

Komodo has the widest choice for 10 to 12 guests and the lowest prices, departs from Labuan Bajo about 1 hour 15 minutes from Bali, and is best from April to November. Raja Ampat departs from Sorong, is best from October to April and has fewer yachts at this size, with prices for 12 guests starting at US$4,900 per night on Jakare. Each charter stays in one region, so choose based on your travel month.

How we help groups decide

Most groups of this size arrive with a mix of couples, singles and children. We start by mapping who sleeps where, then shortlist three or four yachts that fit the cabin plan and the budget, with the full price for the whole yacht and an estimate of extras per guest. Our team is based in Labuan Bajo and replies within 10 minutes on WhatsApp, which helps when a group organiser needs quick answers for everyone.
