Luxury Yacht Charter Indonesia
Yacht Charter in Indonesia
There are more than 17,000 islands in Indonesia, which makes it the largest archipelago in the World. And within this beautiful country which stretches the distance of the United States of America and Alaska, there is something for every taste: deserted tropical islands, stunning marine life, undiscovered coves and verdant green landscapes. Again, like much of Asia waters, the region is slowly opening up to yacht charter and the country is a gamut of riches just waiting to be explored.

Weather in Indonesia/h3>
Due to its position on the equator, Indonesia has two seasons: wet, and dry. The wet season usually falls between October and April, and the dry between May and September. The waters surrounding the islands can be particularly lethal in December and January in some areas, although Bali seems to avoid much of the extreme weather. Temperatures remain hot, around 25-30C, all year round.
