El Aleph Liveaboard Charter in Raja Ampat

El Aleph is a 38-meter VVIP phinisi purpose-built for private Raja Ampat voyages. With five en-suite cabins for up to ten guests, a 3.4-meter draft for stable passages, and a full fleet of dive, snorkel, and water-sports equipment, the yacht is configured for families, dive groups, and small charters who want comfort, range, and hands-on adventure across Misool, Wayag, and Piaynemo. The resident crew includes a PADI dive instructor, two private chefs, and tender pilots trained to read local tides and currents.

Vessel overview and technical specifications

El Aleph measures 38 meters in length with a 3.4-meter draft, giving it a confident footprint in open crossings while still allowing close approach to sheltered lagoons. The deck plan favors private time: five cabins each have a dedicated en-suite bathroom, and generous indoor and outdoor living areas let guests spread out rather than compete for space. Air conditioning runs throughout the vessel, and Wi-Fi is available onboard for guests who need to stay connected between dives. A saloon, indoor dining area, outdoor dining area, and a navigation deck give clear zones for eating, resting, and scanning the horizon. The class is VVIP and the boat remains available for 2026 Raja Ampat charters through Boat Komodo Trip, with capacity for up to 10 guests.

Cabins and onboard living

Accommodations are arranged as a Master Cabin plus four further cabins (Cabin 1 through Cabin 4), each with a private en-suite. The layout supports couples, small family groups, and dive buddies equally well. Communal spaces are the real centerpiece: the saloon doubles as a lounge for board and card games on weather days, the indoor dining area stays cool in the afternoon heat, and the outdoor dining area is designed for long meals over the water. Two private chefs prepare all food onboard, and non-alcoholic beverages are included. Laundry service is provided (dry cleaning is not available onboard). The meet-and-greet service begins at international arrival, with two-way airport and harbor transfers built into the package.

Diving, water sports, and tender operations

El Aleph carries a full scuba kit and a resident PADI dive instructor, so certified divers and newcomers alike have a clear path into Raja Ampat's reef systems. Beyond the dive deck, the yacht stocks snorkel gear, kayaks, and stand-up paddleboards for independent exploration. Water-sports enthusiasts will find wakeboarding, water skiing, an inflatable towable mattress, and a banana boat onboard. Two inflatable tenders expand the range of each anchorage, moving guests from the main vessel to secluded beaches, bird-nesting hills, and back-reef snorkel points that larger boats cannot reach. All activities and equipment rentals are included in the charter.
