Raja Ampat Boat Builder is a specialist maritime brand under Juara Holding Group that coordinates and supervises new-build boat projects for operators across Raja Ampat and wider Indonesia. We turn operational briefs into specifications, place builds at established Indonesian partner yards, supervise construction, and deliver finished boats to West Papua.
What we do: coordination and supervision of new builds
We are a build desk, not a shed. Our work is the chain of judgement around a construction project: translating how you operate into a buildable specification, selecting the yard whose capability actually matches your craft class and material, contracting the build properly, inspecting it at milestones, proving the boat at sea trials, and landing it in Raja Ampat with a crew who can run it. We say this plainly because the industry often does not: we do not claim to own a shipyard. Our value is independence — because we do not defend one yard’s order book, the recommendation you receive is driven by your project, and our supervision reports to you, not to the builder. The full method is described in the commissioning guide, and the craft classes we specify — dive tenders, liveaboard tenders, resort speedboats, workboats and survey craft — each have their own page.
A specialist maritime brand under Juara Holding Group
Raja Ampat Boat Builder operates as one of the specialist maritime brands under Juara Holding Group, an Indonesian group active in marine tourism and maritime services since 2015, with Komodo Luxury as the group’s flagship brand. Working inside a group ecosystem matters practically: specification standards, yard relationships, supervision practice and delivery logistics are shared across the group’s maritime brands and sharpened on real projects across Eastern Indonesia — from Komodo to Raja Ampat. This desk applies that accumulated practice to one clearly defined lane: commissioning boats built for Raja Ampat operations.
Contracts issued by PT Komodo Galangan Nusantara
Clarity about who you contract with is a mark of a serious project. Construction contracts for our projects are issued by PT Komodo Galangan Nusantara, the group’s legal entity for construction, repair, refit and vessel-sale contracting. Your contract names the entity, annexes the specification, defines the milestone schedule, and ties staged payments in USD to verifiable build states. We do not hold client funds, and government fees, where they apply, are stated factually in IDR.
Our partner-yard network
Builds are placed across a network of established Indonesian yards — aluminium fabricators, FRP builders and timber yards — each selected per project for capability, current workload and quality track record. We inspect at defined milestones with photographic reports against the specification, and we compare candidate yards openly with owners during selection, as described on the Indonesia dive boat builder page. Raja Ampat is our reference environment: every specification assumes strong current, short chop, equatorial sun and long distances from service — the standard set out across our commissioning guide for Raja Ampat.
Where we sit in the group’s maritime ecosystem
Part of Juara Holding Group. Construction, repair, refit, and vessel-sale contracts are issued by PT Komodo Galangan Nusantara. Boat-management contracts are issued by PT Komodo Vessel Management. Brokerage, central agency, charter marketing, and commercial representation contracts are issued by PT Komodo Bahari Nusantara. Separate contracts. Separate fees. Separate ledgers. One integrated maritime ecosystem. This disclosure appears on every page of this site because owners deserve to know exactly which entity stands behind each service they engage.
How we work: honest framing, documented builds
Three commitments run through every project. First, honest framing: we describe our role exactly as it is — coordination and supervision of builds at partner yards — and we make no claims we cannot document. Second, verifiable money: payments are staged against inspected milestones, quoted in USD, with government fees stated factually in IDR where they apply. Third, documentation: every project closes with a build file — specification, contract, milestone reports with photographs, sea-trial results and operating documentation — because a boat without its paperwork is worth less than it should be, to its owner, its insurer and its next buyer. Indicative budgets and the payment structure are published openly in the cost guide.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you help me compare different Indonesian yards for building a Raja Ampat tender?
Yes, we work with multiple Indonesian partner yards, each with different strengths in materials, boat types, and scales. We can outline typical capabilities, discuss which are more suited to your project, and then manage the tendering, specification, and build supervision process through the yard you choose.
How involved do I need to be personally during the build of a Raja Ampat boat in Indonesia?
You define the key decisions and approve milestones, but you don’t need to be on-site constantly if someone trustworthy is coordinating and reporting. Our core function is to be that coordination and supervision layer with the yard—translating your brief, tracking progress, sharing updates, and flagging issues for your decisions as the build moves toward delivery in Raja Ampat.
How do payments usually work when building boats at Indonesian yards?
Boat builds typically use staged payments linked to milestones (e.g., contract signing, hull completion, launching, handover), often backed by a clear build contract and specification. We don’t handle client funds, but we help you structure the payment schedule with the yard, align it with inspection points, and report progress throughout the build.
