About Yohak
True luxury is the absence of friction. We engineer a new rhythm for Palawan — never the crowded group boats.
The Operations
Distinct disciplines across Palawan
Our private boat charters are divided into distinct disciplines, ensuring comfort across Palawan's waters.
Maritime Charters
Agile speedboats engineered to maneuver into concealed, low-depth coves that larger fleets cannot access.
Traditional Vessels
Multi-hull outriggers reimagined with oversized lounging cushions and premium basecamp infrastructure.
Extended Expeditions
Multi-day crossings through Linapacan and Northern Palawan — empty reefs and beachfront camps.
A Note from the Founder
We do not outsource our soul
I was born and raised in El Nido. When locals went island hopping, we picked one or two islands, dropped anchor, and stayed all day. Time was our greatest luxury.
We named this company Yohak to reflect Yohaku — beauty found in empty space — and Kahoy, the Filipino word for wood spelled backward.
I left to study Architecture and Civil Engineering in Manila. El Nido has grown rapidly. I believe the industry forgot the First Principle of traveling: we travel to seek a contrast to what we usually have.
We strictly cap our destinations for a reason. Every island only reveals its beauty when you give it time. My promise is simple: we have done the heavy lifting so that when you step onto our boats, all you have to do is breathe.
Crafted Space to Breathe.
