Pearl of Papua — 30m — Raja Ampat & Papua, Indonesia

A purpose-built Indonesian liveaboard designed for guests who want remote reef access, contemporary comfort, and a charter experience shaped by meaningful time in the water.

At 30 meters, Pearl of Papua offers a more intimate style of yacht charter in Indonesia, centered on marine exploration, practical comfort, and long-range access to some of the country’s richest underwater regions. Built in Indonesia and launched in 2010, she was originally designed with divers in mind, though her warm layout and well-balanced onboard experience now make her equally appealing to families, photographers, and small private groups. Traditional phinisi craftsmanship is paired with a clean, functional interior that supports extended days at sea without losing its sense of ease. Cruising primarily through Raja Ampat, Misool, and Cenderawasih Bay, Pearl of Papua is best suited to guests who want their voyage defined by reef access, wildlife encounters, and the calm immersion of remote eastern Indonesia.

The Vessel

Pearl of Papua is built around purpose. Her strength lies in offering reliable access to remote waters while keeping life onboard comfortable, unfussy, and well organized. She is not defined by theatrical luxury, but by the kind of thoughtful design that matters most once the voyage is underway—good flow, practical systems, and an atmosphere that stays easy over consecutive days at sea.

That character makes her especially compelling for guests drawn to Indonesia’s marine environments. She suits travelers who want their charter to feel engaged and immersive, with enough comfort and care onboard to support long days of exploration without complication.

Spaces & Layout

Pearl of Papua’s layout reflects her expedition-minded nature, but with a warmth that keeps the onboard experience inviting rather than technical. Her seven ensuite cabins create a balanced setup for private groups, while the yacht’s shared spaces are arranged to support both recovery and connection between excursions. This makes her particularly effective on itineraries where time in the water is central to the day, and the yacht must function as both retreat and operational base.

Inside, the lounge and dining area provide a comfortable communal setting, supported by an entertainment system and onboard library that give the yacht a more settled and personal feel. The dive deck is one of the vessel’s defining features, designed to make scuba operations efficient while supporting guests who travel with cameras and specialist gear. Across the yacht, the atmosphere remains practical, relaxed, and highly suited to remote cruising.

  • Diving

  • Snorkeling

  • Kayaking

  • Paddle-boarding

  • Beach excursions

This creates a charter rhythm that feels naturally connected to the environment, with each day shaped by reefs, wildlife, island landings, and time spent moving between remote anchorages.

Charter Experiences

Pearl of Papua is particularly well suited to Raja Ampat, Misool, and Cenderawasih Bay, where reef systems, marine biodiversity, and distance between destinations make the journey itself part of the value. She is best matched to guests who want a private yacht charter in Indonesia centered on underwater access and nature-led discovery rather than a more social or entertainment-driven onboard program.

Days aboard are defined by a steady and immersive cadence—morning dives, snorkeling sessions, beach landings, scenic passages, and relaxed evenings back on deck or in the lounge. For photographers, marine enthusiasts, and private groups wanting closer access to eastern Indonesia’s most extraordinary waters, Pearl of Papua offers a refined liveaboard experience built around substance, comfort, and the privilege of reaching places that remain genuinely remote.
