Indonesia - Restrictions

Aug 09, 2025

Chartering in Indonesia:

Yachts are strictly prohibited to charter during their cruising in Indonesian waters. The yacht and crew are only permitted one voyage through Indonesian waters as stated on their cruising declaration form, from their first port of entry to their port of exit with the time period being the same as that on their visitor's visa.

Travel to Irian Jaya requires a special permit from the State Police. Violence is possible in Northern Sumatra and South Maluku.

National Park Restrictions:

Komodo National Park

Komodo National Park Fees are to be paid in IDR to park authorities in Labuan Bajo or Rinca/Komodo Island. The entrance ticket includes access to the entire national park and islands from Padar to Rinca. However, there is an additional fee for guides and activities in the park.

In addition to the park fees, boats and yachts must pay entrance fees, depending on the type and size of the boat. Furthermore, a harbor clearance (depending on boat tonnage) must be obtained with the harbor authorities.

Yachts intending to visit this area should also ensure they are aware of anchoring/mooring buoy rules and guidance for divers/snorkelers. Diving is only permitted from boats that are registered with the National Park authorities and have pre-registered and booked their diving slots. Visit the National Park Headquarters at Loh Liang. See the SE Asia Pilot for more details.
