World-Class Waves, Year-Round

Located off the coast of West Sumatra, the Mentawai Islands receive consistent swells from the Indian Ocean, offering a wide variety of breaks for every level of surfer. From the mechanical perfection of Rifles to the playful lefts at Macaronis, every day on the water is a chance to score the session of a lifetime.

Explore the Uncrowded North

Beyond the famous breaks, our charters venture north to Telos, Banyaks, Nias, and West Aceh, uncovering lesser-known perfection with fewer crowds. These regions offer everything from long, rippable walls to hollow barrels, all set against the backdrop of pristine islands and palm-lined beaches.

Our Mentawai surf charters are designed for those who want more than just waves. With luxury accommodations, onboard chefs, dedicated surf guides, and chilled post-surf sundowners on deck, this is surfing without compromise.

 

Mentawai Surf Charter FAQs

Quick answers to the most common questions about Mentawai Surf Charters with links to more in depth articles and informational pages. 

The peak surf season in the Mentawais runs from April to October, when powerful Indian Ocean swells create consistent, world-class waves. Shoulder seasons (March and November) can also offer great conditions with fewer crowds.

Most trips begin in Padang, West Sumatra. From there, guests are transferred to the yacht to begin the voyage. Padang is accessible via domestic flights from Jakarta, Bali, or INternationally via Singapore and Kuala Lumpur.

Depending on swell, wind, and your crew’s skill level, you could surf iconic breaks like HTs, Macaronis, Rifles, Lances Right/Left, Bintangs, Greenbush, and many more—including lesser-known, uncrowded spots farther north in Telos, Nias, Banyaks, and Aceh.

Mentwai Surf Charters come in varying sizes and capacities.  Luxurious boats like Siloina One and Two typically accommodate up to 12 guests, with private cabins, shared charters, or full boat bookings available. Each trip includes a full crew, surf guide, chef, and support staff.

While many breaks are powerful reef setups suited to intermediate and advanced surfers, there are plenty of mellower waves suitable for progressing surfers—especially with a flexible charter that adapts to your level.

Are the surf charters all-inclusive?
Yes. Most charters include accommodation, all meals, surf transfers, tender support, a full crew, a few crates of beer and soft drinks, and daily guiding. Optional extras include surf photography and scuba diving on select vessels.

We recommend:

  • 2–3 surfboards (bring backups)
  • Tropical wax, spare fins & leash
  • Rash guards and reef booties
  • Reef-safe sunscreen
  • Basic first aid
  • Dry bags & personal toiletries
  • A good playlist (optional, but appreciated)

Boatique Charters partners with luxury-standard surf vessels like Siloina One and Two—offering air-conditioned cabins, onboard chefs, premium bar service, Wi-Fi, entertainment lounges, and full surf support. It’s a long way from sleeping on a damp beanbag.

Both options are available. Shared charters are ideal for solo travelers or small groups. Private charters allow full customization of the route, pace, and onboard vibe. We’ll help you choose the best setup.

Absolutely. All trips are led by experienced surf guides who monitor swell and wind forecasts daily, ensuring you’re at the right break at the right time—with local knowledge that unlocks hidden gems.
