10 Days of Unrivalled Fun
Exciting news for amateur sailors looking for a “live-aboard” holiday in one of the most beautiful places on earth; 7 to 12 days of almost total privacy, with an ever-attentive crew waiting on all your needs.
There are still a few berths on a number of exclusive yachts available for private voyages around the magnificent islands of East Indonesia - the best spot to catch sight of this year's much anticipated full solar eclipse on the 9th March.
Out at sea away from light pollution and right in the path of the solar eclipse, guests on board a private yacht will experience this incredible phenomenon as part of the trip of a lifetime.
The “secret spot” for catching the best view of the eclipse is Raja Ampat, a chain of pristine islands located off the coast of West Papua which will be darkened by the solar eclipse.
The extraordinary environment of Raja Ampat is made up of four main islands, surrounded by approximately 1,500 islets cloaked in jungle and edged with white sand beaches, a remarkable place to sail, with a unique underwater landscape to rival any other.

The beautiful 30m phinisi expedition yacht Mischief was recently launched in Indonesia. She was built by legendary shipbuilder Pak Haji Wahab at the Konjo Boat Builder’s facility in South Sulawesi between 2013 - 2015 as a custom project by her owner, designed to explore the Indonesian archipelago and its islands in luxury, style and comfort. The yacht was built to resemble the traditional style of Phinisi trading boats still found cruising in the Indian Ocean, the Java Sea, the Timor Sea, the Banda Sea and the Celebes Sea.
Prices for private charter vary between
