LOCAL EXPERT SURF GUIDE ONBOARD

On each trip we are traveling together with an expert local surf guide. Their knowledge of the atolls and swell and wind conditions help us make sure that we are in the right spot, at the right time. Their contacts with other charter boats and guides help us avoid crowds every time that's possible.

SURF FROM SUNRISE TO SUNSET

Most of our days on the boat will start with a sunrise check of the nearest surf spot. Surf, eat a filling breakfast and get back into the water before the sun hits its highest point. After lunch it's time to chill for a bit before returning in the water for a sunset session. We love surfing.
