The Luxury of Subtraction

While the standard El Nido island hopping experience is defined by rigid schedules and crowded six-stop itineraries, Yohak is a masterclass in restraint.

We understand you arrive with a wishlist of the Bacuit Archipelago’s most famous destinations. However, the reality of Palawan is that popularity brings noise. To fiercely protect your peace, we cap our private speedboat charters at exactly four carefully selected locations.

By utilizing the power of our twin-engine vessels, we buy you the ultimate luxury: the time to simply be. Big Lagoon remains our definitive first objective, secured at first light. From there, your Captain dynamically assesses tides and fleet movements, weaving your desires with our mandate for unhurried, exclusive exploration.

After guiding 2,000+ Seatours Palawan expeditions, founder Jovet Rosento crafted Yohak to answer what he learned: the best journeys aren’t about volume. They’re about intimacy. Every detail serves unhurried, curated experiences for the discerning traveler.

07:30 AM Hotel Pickup
True luxury is the removal of friction. A private transfer brings you from your hotel directly to your fully prepped vessel. While we await the Coast Guard’s brief visual clearance, your crew provides a quiet, private introduction to the boat’s amenities. No crowded docks, no chaotic roll calls—just quiet anticipation as the engines warm up.
08:00 AM Big Lagoon
Kayak & Swimming
Because of our early departure and engine speed, Big Lagoon is always our first destination. We aim to arrive while the water is still like glass, giving you the best possible chance to kayak or swim in the quiet majesty of the limestone cliffs before the traditional outriggers arrive.
11:00 AM Pinagbuyutan Island
Private Lunch & Snorkeling
Our highlight. A secluded Island stop dedicated to relaxation and water activities, offering 2 to 4 hours of unhurried downtime away from tour crowds, direct access to clear waters for private snorkeling among undisturbed coral reefs, extended time to rest or sleep on the beach at your own pace, and a premium island picnic.
03:00 PM Entalula Island
Vibrant Silence
The final stop at the highly sought-after Entalula Island, strategically timed for the late afternoon to navigate around peak crowds at Palawan’s premier destination, featuring a thriving coral garden explored with our crew’s deep local knowledge, and supported by watchful yet unobtrusive assistance to ensure a premium, well-managed snorkeling experience.
04:00 PM The Slow Return
We do not rush the journey home. The engines quiet down as we begin a deliberate, scenic cruise back toward El Nido town. You drift past towering limestone corridors one last time, taking in the sheer scale of the archipelago as the afternoon light begins to soften.
04:30 PM The Sunset Reserve
Signature Addition
If you are not ready for the day to end, simply tell your Captain. For an additional ₱10,000, you can instantly upgrade to The Sunset Reserve. We will keep the vessel out until 6:30 PM, anchoring in a secluded cove for private sundowners as the Palawan sky turns to fire.

The Full-Day Private Speedboat Tour is priced at ₱38,000 for a private group of up to 8 guests. You may include the Sunset Extension for an additional ₱10,000 during booking, or decide while on the water. If you choose to extend your expedition mid-tour, simply message our Concierge on WhatsApp for confirmation and notify your captain once finalized. This transparent pricing includes a curated menu, premium snorkeling gear, private land transfers, all environmental fees, and a dedicated captain and crew.

Yes. A shared bangka tour operates on a rigid schedule, often resulting in crowded stops simultaneously with dozens of other boats. A Yohak private speedboat offers absolute kalinaw (tranquility). Because our speedboats are significantly faster, we deploy at first light—allowing you to experience Palawan’s iconic corridors in silence before the crowds arrive.

Absolutely. While standard tours force you through a preset list of locations, our bespoke charters are designed around your rhythm. If you wish to spend three hours snorkeling a single quiet reef or anchor early at Hidden Beach, you have that freedom. We bypass standard routes to deliver an itinerary of solitude.

You can secure your preferred date and complete your payment directly through our secure website. To ensure zero friction during checkout, you are not required to provide your full guest manifest immediately. Simply finalize your booking online, and you can WhatsApp our Concierge later with the names, ages, and countries of your party. Should your travel plans shift, we offer clear, transparent cancellation terms to adjust your itinerary without stress.

Your safety and comfort are our highest priorities. If the Philippine Coast Guard restricts travel due to amihan or habagat wind conditions, or if we determine the water is too rough to provide a premium experience, your charter will be grounded. In this event, you will be offered a priority option to reschedule your charter or receive a full refund. Visit our Cancellation and Refunds Policy for more information.

Yes. Because every charter is bespoke, our crew prepares all meals based on your specific preferences, allergies, or dietary restrictions using fresh local Palawan ingredients. We will finalize your menu preferences during our initial live chat consultation to ensure flawless service on the water.
