Unlike compact Mediterranean cruising grounds, Indonesia's vast archipelago means yachts sometimes need to reposition between charter seasons or base ports. Understanding relocation and fuel fees helps guests avoid surprises.
What Are Relocation Fees?
When a yacht needs to travel from its base to your embarkation port (e.g., from Labuan Bajo to Sorong for a Raja Ampat charter), the fuel and crew costs for this transit may be passed to the charter guest. These can range from €2,000 to €15,000 depending on distance.
How to Minimize Costs
- Choose yachts already positioned in your desired region
- Book during a yacht's regular seasonal rotation
- Consider one-way itineraries that align with the yacht's relocation
- Ask Navélia about yachts offering repositioning discounts
