Small Private Charter cruising the Mamanucas

Live your dream of surfing some world-class breaks on board of Gipsea! Ideal private charter for small groups looking for an extraordinary experience of endless tropical waves!

The Boat

Gipsea is a 46-foot steel monohull, single-masted yacht, best suited for groups of 4 to 6 guests and up to 8 people maximum, cruising the surf paradise of Mamanuca Islands!

This small private charter provides a professional crew (captain, chef/deckhand), tender, snorkeling and fishing gear.

The boat is comfortable and rustic, offering wide shaded areas, cushioned seating, indoor toilets, outdoor showers, a galley and sound system.

The Surf

Mamanuca Islands is a magical archipelago of white sand beaches ringed by shallow coral reefs, which get bombed by heavy, hollow waves that set the standard for wave quality around the world. The Mamanucas are home to Fijiโ€™s most famous surf break, Cloudbreak, as well as several other powerful reef breaks as Restaurants, Wilkes, Namotu Lefts, Tavarua Rights, Swimming Pools, and more!

Fiji is blessed by one of the best swell exposures in the world and receive swells all-year-round! Swells range in size from 3-15ft, with occasional freak swells hitting 20ft+ at 18 seconds, during the favoured March-Nov South Pacific swell season. The summer rainy season (Nov-March) has smaller, less consistent swells in the 2-6ft range and generally lighter winds.

Why We Love Gipsea

Experience Fiji at their best sailing around the archipelago!

World-class powerful waves! Surf in a natural aquarium!

Charters starting with just 4 persons!

Accommodation

Gipsea offers an open plan cabin with saloon, kitchen, 3 single and 2 double beds. The front bed has a curtain. There is a back cabin completely separated for 2 guests. There is one toilet with a sink inside and a shower outside beside the swimming ladder.

The yacht has shades and outdoor mattresses for overnights under the stars whenever the weather allows it.

Food

For us, there is nothing more important on a surf charter than the fuel for the waves! The chef of Gipsea will take care of providing 3 healthy and energetic meals for the guests to recharge the energies before and after the surf sessions! Snacks, seasonal fruit platters, soft drinks and bottled water are provided on board too.

The fishing in Fiji is amazing and the chef is always happy to cook up the dayโ€™s catch for you!

Alcohol is available onboard for an extra charge, so you can enjoy a cold beer at the end of a long day in the water!

My wife and I booked an 8 day surf charter on the Gahaa with a dedicated surf guide Moussa who was worth his weight in gold knowing what breaks would be firing and his knowledge of marine life and Maldivian environment enlightening for my wife and I. From the initial booking and contact Guilia at AWAVE made the whole process seamless communication was excellent. I have traveled extensively and surfed many parts of the world this trip truly exceeded my expectations the crew were incredible taking us to excellent surf and snorkeling locations. The boat itself is a converted fishing Dohni that exudes old world charm is clean and meticulously cared for. The meals prepared for us were nothing short of exceptional excellent variety and plenty of it a mix of western and Maldivian fare. We are definitely coming back and certainly using AWAVE again! Thank you Giulia and Moussa our trusted surf guide who gave us incredible insights into Maldivian culture.

Absolutely Recommended. Giulia and James are top professionals: I will be using Awave for all my future surf trips. I have been surfing for 30 years and travelled the world so I have dealt with a lot of agents. Awave is in the top spot as far as I am concerned. I spent 10 days with them on a boat trip in Maldivesโ€™ central atolls: not only their recommendations were spot on but being a boutique agency they tailor the surf experience to the very specific needs. They are surfers (real chargers) and know personally each spot and surf operator they recommend (wtether it is a guest house or a resort or a boat).

Trip of a lifetime. First and foremost I'd like to thank James Colston from Awave Travel, for assisting me in every which way to help book one of the most memorable experiences I've had in my life. He was extremely responsive and answered every single question I had, even the dumb ones haha. As for AYADA, holy dooly, that place is paradise! Absolutely breathtaking, I couldn't believe I was actually walking around such a beautiful island! Big love to the staff at Magu Restaurant, seeing as how I ate there pretty much everyday, they were amazing! Very switched on and quick off the mark to help with anything that was needed. A special mention to Dhaboa and the captain who took me out surfing! I cannot speak highly enough about their friendly, helpful and straight up on point expertise. With Dhaboa picking the spots to surf and tips on where to sit to catch the best waves on the day, to the wonderful captain himself, filming and sending me videos of the waves I caught.
Absolute legends! Made my surf trip! Best holiday I've ever been on to this date.

Reliable travel agency to book a surf trip - Both Giulia and James were very reactive and adivsed on the best options. In our case we made a boat trip in Maldives. It is the second time we use Awave Travel to do a surftrip to Maldives and we have had a very good experience in both cases. They are a reliable and trustworthy travel agency, I highly recommend them.
