Entry Phinisi

Entry Phinisi in One Sentence

Traditional wooden phinisi · $3,500–$6,800 per day · 8–12 guests

The entry phinisi tier is the most accessible way to experience Raja Ampat by private yacht. Same Sorong departures, same dive crew quality, same archipelago — at 40–60% lower nightly rate than the luxury tier. Trade-off: standard cabin finish, fewer onboard amenities, single-region focus per charter.
