Labuan Bajo, Indonesia — May 2026, Komodo Luxury, Indonesia’s four‑time TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice winner (2022–2025) for Komodo National Park yacht charter, today confirmed the formal expansion of its charter network through sister brand Luxury Raja Ampat, the specialist Raja Ampat marine division of Juara Holding Group.
The expansion unites two of Indonesia’s most acclaimed luxury yacht charter operators under one operational doctrine, creating what is effectively Indonesia’s leading luxury yacht charter network across Komodo and Raja Ampat. Komodo Luxury has delivered over 1,200 private voyages in Komodo National Park since its founding, while Luxury Raja Ampat has organised more than 800 private voyages in Raja Ampat since 2015. Together, the two brands form Indonesia’s leading luxury yacht charter network spanning the country’s two most iconic marine destinations.
Two Destinations, One Network
“Komodo Luxury and Luxury Raja Ampat represent our group’s complete commitment to Eastern Indonesia’s marine wealth,” said Agung Afif, Founder and CEO of Komodo Luxury and a 2026 member of the Forbes Business Council. “Komodo is our flagship, recognised four years running as the world’s best in its category by TripAdvisor. Raja Ampat is our specialist marine division, with a full decade of dedicated focus and over 800 private voyages delivered exclusively in that archipelago. Together, they form Indonesia’s leading luxury yacht network across two iconic destinations.”
For HNWI travellers planning Indonesia luxury charters, the combined network now enables seamless cross‑region itineraries, including rare Komodo‑to‑Raja Ampat transitional voyages aboard flagship vessels such as Prana by Atzaró, Lamima, and Aqua Blu during the seasonal repositioning windows in April and November. These 14–21‑night expeditions traverse the Banda Sea and Spice Islands, linking two UNESCO biosphere reserves, Komodo National Park and Raja Ampat, in a single luxury voyage only possible for operators with a deep operational footprint in both destinations.

Guests can visit luxuryrajaampat.com for Raja Ampat yacht charter enquiries or learn more about the company at the Luxury Raja Ampat about page.
Luxury Raja Ampat: A Dedicated Raja Ampat Specialist
While many global yacht brokers list Raja Ampat as an additional or “secondary” destination, Komodo Luxury elected to serve the region through a dedicated sister brand from day one. Raja Ampat’s geography, weather windows, marine biodiversity, and logistical realities differ substantially from Komodo’s, requiring a team that lives and operates on the ground year‑round.
Luxury Raja Ampat has operated exclusively in Raja Ampat, Southwest Papua, since 2015, positioning itself as a genuine luxury Raja Ampat specialist rather than a generalist broker. Its Sorong‑based operations team brings a decade of experience in the Dampier Strait, Wayag karst islands, Piaynemo viewpoint, and the southern reefs of Misool, the core seascapes that define a world‑class Raja Ampat yacht charter.
The brand’s curated fleet comprises more than 30 vessels, including Lamima (65m – the largest luxury phinisi afloat in Indonesia) and Prana by Atzaró (55m – the most‑awarded luxury phinisi in its category). Luxury Raja Ampat serves guests from over 45 countries, with primary markets in Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Singapore, and Indonesia.
Komodo Luxury and Luxury Raja Ampat: Shared Operational Standards Across the Network
Both Komodo Luxury and Luxury Raja Ampat operate under a unified operational doctrine that has been refined over more than a decade in Indonesian waters.
- Local operations teams: Komodo Luxury is headquartered in Labuan Bajo, while Luxury Raja Ampat operates from Sorong, avoiding the limitations of overseas‑only brokers.
- Personally inspected vessels: Every yacht in the curated fleet is physically inspected by the operations team before listing.
- Veteran captains: All captains have a minimum of five years’ experience in their respective regions.
- Real‑time itinerary adjustment: Routes are adapted in real time based on sea conditions and wildlife sightings on the day of departure.
- Shared safety standards: Both brands share insurance, certification, and safety protocols across the combined fleet.
- Coordinated cross‑region scheduling: Selected vessels reposition seasonally between Komodo and Raja Ampat, enabling rare one‑way expeditions across Eastern Indonesia.
“What’s been recognised by TripAdvisor in Komodo is the same operational standard we extend to every Raja Ampat charter,” Afif added. “Our guests booking with our Raja Ampat sister brand receive the same accountability, the same crew quality, the same end‑to‑end orchestration that won Komodo four consecutive Travellers’ Choice awards.”
Combined Fleet: From Komodo Icons to Raja Ampat Flagships
Across both brands, the Komodo Luxury + Luxury Raja Ampat network comprises one of Indonesia’s most extensive luxury phinisi and yacht collections.
