Small group charter of Indonesian liveaboard anyone?

[Varuna]

Hi, I'm wondering if there are 4 people here who may be interested in getting a liveaboard in Raja Ampat, Indonesia for a month?? I'm thinking sometime Oct 08 - March 09.
I'm just a guy who wants to go sailing/diving for a month in Indonesia (not a travel agent etc.), but I don't want to charter a boat by myself...
Cost would be about $5k each all in - boat (nice 25m Phinisi), crew, fuel, food etc. for one month.
$3500+ for 10 days is going rate for the better operators in the area, but most are booked up this year already.
If enough people are interested, we could split a spot, and do two weeks $2500, or one month $5k.

If the idea is of interest to you, please email me your ph/contact info: m a r t e p m o (at) gmail

I think you are going to have a hard time finding a group that can take a month off work. Most people only get 1-2 weeks vacation per year and getting more than that off work isn't possible.
