"Raja Laut" is part of a number of sail charters that operates around the Asia-Pacific region. The vessel has only six cabins, with a maximum of 12 passengers. In January 2011, "Raja Laut" was involved in a more unusual charter when she was hired as one of the sets for the making of a feature film about 50 German World War One marines left stranded by the light cruiser during the Battle of Cocos. The film was being made by the veteran filmmaker Berengar Pfahl.
