Indonesia Yacht Charter Inclusions
Indonesia yacht charter inclusions vary by yacht and destination. Private charters typically include the yacht, crew, all meals, non-alcoholic drinks, route planning, snorkeling equipment and selected water toys. Common extras include diving, alcohol, national park fees, transfers, gratuity and premium special requests.
Why inclusions vary yacht by yacht
Indonesian yacht charters are not standardised the way Mediterranean charters are. Each owner sets their own inclusions package: some quote 'all-in plus park fees', others itemise fuel, chef surcharges or premium drinks. This is why we always send a written inclusions sheet before the deposit.

Food and drink onboard
Full-board meals are standard: breakfast, lunch, dinner and afternoon snacks, mixing Indonesian and Western dishes. Menus are personalised in advance — vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal, kids' menus and allergies are all handled routinely.
Non-alcoholic drinks (water, soft drinks, tea, coffee, juices) are included. Alcohol policy depends on the yacht: some include beer and house wine, others operate a bring-your-own policy or charge per bottle.
National park and marine park fees
Komodo National Park and activity fees typically come to roughly USD 50 to 120 per person for a 3 to 4 night trip; the Raja Ampat marine park tag and regency levy are around USD 120 per person. These are always payable — the operator either collects them upfront and pays locally, or you settle them on arrival.
Diving and instructor time
Diving is usually a separate line item: USD 45 – 75 per dive on most yachts, or a fixed package for a full 5 – 10 dive trip. A handful of yachts include unlimited diving in their base rate — we flag those in the shortlist.
Crew gratuity — how it works
Gratuity is not included and is customary at 5 – 15% of the yacht fee, paid to the captain to distribute at the end of the trip. It is discretionary — based on service — and can be paid in cash or transfer.
