kuda laut Surf Charter only 1 person USD 1900 for 10/11 night for small group
The Kuda Laut has been gracing the region for 20 years and has an experienced crew on board. This 58’ wooden motor sailor had a recent refit and is ideal for small groups looking to explore the Mentawai and Telo Islands. She houses 7 guests in a dorm style cabin, complete with flat screen TV, fishing gear and all the navigation and safety gear you’d expect. Certainly good value, each guest has 5 complimentary beers each day.
Kuda Laut is a comfortable boat with friendly and helpful crew that will provide you good atmosphere along the trip. The Chef will satisfy you with delicious Indonesian and Western food. You also get free soft drinks to refresh you after chasing the waves and getting barreled.
The Kuda Laut is one of the original Mentawais surf boats; a 58 foot motor cruiser built with Sumatran Ironwood, she oozes character and the pioneering spirit. Forget about over-priced floating gin-palaces, if you want a real soul-surfing experience the Kuda Laut is the way to go. With over two decades of experience plying the warm waters of the Mentawais, the crew know exactly where to go to find the best and least crowded waves in every condition. Depending on swell conditions and charter exclusivity it’s also possible to explore further afield, and to hunt out long hollow tubes with empty line-ups in Nias, Telos, the Banyaks and more. This is one of the most wave-rich parts of the planet; world class breaks are literally stacked up one on top of the other, just waiting for you to drop in.

OMBAK KABAU
Boat Name Meaning
The name Minangkabau comes from the words Minang which means to win and Kabau which means buffalo. In a legend circulating, the history of the name Minangkabau originated from an expedition carried out by the Majapahit kingdom in the 16th century. To prevent casualties, the local community proposed to pit their buffalo against the Javanese buffalo belonging to the Majapahit troops. At that time, the Majapahit troops were said to have brought a large and aggressive buffalo. While the local community only issued a hungry buffalo
calf. However, they put a knife on each horn of the calf.
As a result, the calf with a knife in its horn was able to defeat the large buffalo belonging to the Majapahit troops. The name Minangkabau then became famous due to the victory event
Therefore we took the word “buffalo” because the buffalo is a symbol of the
victory of West Sumatra. and Mentawai is one of the districts in West Sumatra which has some of the best waves in the world.

The crew aboard this high speed catamaran have over 15 years of combined experience in West Sumatra and with a top speed of 18 knots & cruising speed of 11 knots (most charters cruise at 7-8 knots), there’s no faster way to get you to the surf, meaning more surf time.
