The Genesis of Bintan Yacht Charter
Founded in 2015, Bintan Yacht Charter emerged from a vision to offer the finest maritime experiences in the Riau Islands. The founder, Adrian Lim, a seasoned sailor with 20 years of sailing experience, saw a gap in the market for luxury yacht charters accessible to both seasoned sailors and novices. The company began with a single yacht and has since expanded to a fleet of five, each tailored to provide a unique experience. Adrian’s deep connection with the sea and commitment to quality service are the core drivers behind the company’s success. The fleet grew strategically, with the acquisition of a 45-foot catamaran in 2017 and a 60-foot luxury yacht in 2020, reflecting the growing demand for exclusive charters.
Our Mission and Values
At Bintan Yacht Charter, the mission is simple: to deliver unparalleled yachting experiences that blend adventure with relaxation. Our commitment to safety, luxury, and environmental sustainability sets us apart.

Our yachts are equipped to support diving activities, with space for gear and knowledgeable guides who are PADI certified. Diving excursions can be added to any charter, ensuring an singular experience beneath the waves.
Cultural Highlights of the Riau Islands
While the natural beauty of the Riau Islands is a major draw, the cultural experiences are equally compelling. Stops at islands like Penyengat offer glimpses into the region’s royal history, with landmarks such as the Sultan’s Palace and the Grand Mosque, built from a mixture of eggs and lime. The local villages provide a taste of traditional life, where guests can engage with artisans crafting local handicrafts.
