The vessel classes we broker
Dive liveaboards
24–40 m · 6–14 cabins · steel or ironwood
The flagship asset class in Raja Ampat. Priced on saleable berths, class status, permits and the forward booking book.
Enquire →
Phinisi
25–50 m · Sulawesi-built · guest or private
Completed traditional ironwood hulls finished to guest standard, plus commissioning liaison with the Sulawesi yards.
Enquire →
Catamarans & sailing yachts

Charter businesses
vessel + company + permits + bookings
Turnkey operations for buyers who want to own a working liveaboard business rather than build a brand from a bare hull.
Enquire →Five mandates, one archipelago
Raja Ampat is not a market you can serve from a listings portal in another country. The vessels that matter here are working boats, and their value sits in permits, class files, refit evidence and booking books — not in photographs.
Buy
Buy-side representation across every hull type working the archipelago — shortlist, inspection, structuring and closing.

Businesses for sale →Why a Raja Ampat specialist
A national desk can show you a hull. It cannot tell you whether the vessel may legally carry paying guests inside the marine park, whether the last haul-out was recorded, whether the crew will stay after the sale, or what a Misool itinerary costs to run against a Dampier Strait one. Those answers change the price — so we work inside one archipelago and answer them before an offer is written.

Raja Ampat Yacht Broker is a specialist maritime brand and digital platform under Juara Holding Group. The commercial roles are separated on purpose — the party advising on a vessel is not the party invoicing its repair.
PT Komodo Bahari Nusantara
Brokerage, central agency, charter marketing and sales representation. This site's contracting entity.
PT Komodo Vessel Management
Vessel and charter management contracts.
PT Komodo Galangan Nusantara
Construction, repair, refit and vessel-sale contracts.
Buyer questions, answered
Raja Ampat Yacht Broker is a specialist brokerage covering Raja Ampat, Sorong, Waisai, Misool, Wayag and the Dampier Strait. Brokerage, central agency and charter marketing contracts are issued by PT Komodo Bahari Nusantara, part of Juara Holding Group. The desk handles for-sale mandates, charter, management and full charter-business acquisitions.
Yes. In practice a foreign buyer holds the vessel through an Indonesian company, usually a PT PMA, or acquires an existing operating company that already holds the vessel and its permits. The hull is flagged Indonesian and cleared through customs. The ownership route is chosen before the offer, not after.
Both. The desk runs sell-side central agency mandates for owners, buy-side representation for purchasers, and a charter book for guests and agents. The three sit under different contracts so that a vessel being marketed for sale can keep earning while it is listed.
Sorong is the practical gateway for sea trials, handover and provisioning, with Waisai as the Raja Ampat administrative port. Vessels lying in Misool or the Dampier Strait are usually inspected in place and delivered to Sorong for closing.
