Raja Ampat Islands - Docking

Marinas / Anchorages:

There is now a yacht marina at the Port of Waisai, on the south-east coast of the island of Waigeo . This new facility is being managed by Meridian Adventure Marina Club & Dive Resort.  Temporary membership is available to transient yachts with prices starting at US$15 per day which gives access to the Marina Club’s facilities.

In the absence of berth availability, Waisai offers a free, calm, safe, and clean anchorage. Meridian Adventure provides water taxi services at no charge to club members to and from the Marina Club and the anchorage.

Moorings:

Pulau Pef

Pulau Pef in central Raja Ampat is a privately owned island with a dive resort that has two moorings for private yachts. There is no anchoring permitted around the island. If yachts want to stay at Pulau Pef, there is a sheltered bay on the east side of the island where mooring on two buoys is possible for a daily service fee. This fee is mandatory - see details below.

Daram Island

The first two moorings in the new Raja Ampat Mooring System (RAMS) have been placed at Daram Island, which is located off the east coast of Misool Island, one of the four main islands in the Raja Ampat Marine Protected Area.  At the moment there is no charge to use these moorings which will help protect coral in this popular dive site.  For more information, see the following news item.
