The Elegance of Brevity

We do not believe that profound experiences require exhaustion. While a standard full-day tour can often feel like a marathon, the Brief Charter is a masterclass in focused exploration.
By harnessing the agility and raw power of our speedboat, we distill the archipelago’s finest moments into four uncompromising hours.

This is not a rushed itinerary; it is a highly edited one. We bypass the transit times of traditional outriggers, leaving you deeply fulfilled, yet retaining the ultimate luxury: a free afternoon or a restful morning back on shore.

The Yohak Fleet

The Brief Charter offers the exact same uncompromising Yohak experience and crew. Your choice simply depends on the rhythm of your day.

The Expansive Charter

Commanding Agility

Twin engines ensure a stable, unshakeable ride through the archipelago.

Expansive Space

The expansive 30 ft deck grants your group absolute freedom to stretch out.

Tactile Comfort

Defined by deep olive accents and oversized raw linen lounging cushions.

Shared Silence

Engineered for 4 to 8 guests to outpace the crowds in shared silence.

The Intimate Charter

Agile Frame

A sleek 22-foot speedboat engineered for swift, frictionless coastal transit.

Efficient Propulsion

A single 175HP engine delivering necessary velocity with a quiet wake.

Shallow Access

Maneuvers into concealed, low-depth coves inaccessible to larger fleets.

Private Capacity

Calibrated for 1 to 4 essentialists, ensuring an uncompromisingly intimate escape.

Unhurried Itinerary

We offer a deeply flexible four-hour window, dictated only by your personal rhythm and the light you wish to chase.

The Morning Canvas (08:00 AM — 12:00 PM)

For the early essentialist. We depart while the air is crisp, securing glass-like waters and profound quiet before the fleet arrives.

The Golden Languor (01:00 PM — 05:00 PM)

A sun-drenched, unhurried afternoon culminating in a private, spectacular view of the Palawan twilight from our deck.

Expand All
Hour 1 The Grand Canvas
Big Lagoon
A swift, effortless approach. You are given the space to kayak and drift among the towering limestone sentinels, experiencing the profound quiet of the lagoon while the water remains like glass.
Hour 2 The Vibrant Silence
Shimizu Island
We anchor at a thriving, protected reef. Slip into the water with premium gear to glide alongside sea turtles and vibrant coral, supported by our crew’s watchful but invisible service.
Hour 3 The Hidden Corridors
Secret Lagoon
We weave through the imposing karst formations. Our vessel’s agility allows a precise, seamless approach to the lagoon’s concealed entrance, finding stillness where larger boats cannot follow.
Hour 4 Anchor and the Ice
Seven Commandos Beach
A final pause on a pristine stretch of white sand. Sink into raw linen deck cushions with an ice-cold local craft beer, savoring the warmth before a smooth, powerful return to the harbor.

The Yohak Accord

We do not believe in punitive terms and conditions. We believe in mutual respect between us, our guests, and the island of Palawan.
Rhythm of the Tide
We are guests of the ocean. If the elements compromise your safety or the elegance of the journey prior to departure, we will seamlessly reschedule your expedition or provide a frictionless 100% refund.
Grace of Time
This is your private charter. To ensure we bypass the crowds and capture the morning light, we ask that you meet us precisely at your scheduled time. Out of respect for the crew and the elements, the vessel will wait a maximum of 45 minutes before the journey is gracefully forfeited.
The Luxury of Empty Space
We do not follow the herd. While standard tours operate on rigid, congested schedules, we dynamically reverse-engineer our routes to arrive when the lagoons are quiet. Your journey is crafted not just around where to go, but exactly when to be there, ensuring unhurried, private exploration.
Fluidity
True luxury requires meticulous preparation. You may seamlessly adjust your expedition dates up to 14 days prior to departure. Beyond that window, our premium crew, provisions, and vessel are entirely locked in and reserved exclusively for your private use.

To guarantee the highest standard of safety and service, all Yohak expeditions strictly adhere to our Terms of Passage.
