High standard Mentawai Surf Charter

The Moon Palikir is a classic Mentawai surf charter, built to a high standard and measuring 100ft, this charter is a great option for exploring the Mentawais, Telos or Banyak Islands. Run by an experienced charter company, the Moon Palikir is a large and spacious vessel.

With a large external deck, sturdy finishing, and a well thought out layout, the Moon Palikir is the perfect charter for surfers wanting to experience remote Indonesia in comfort. All rooms are air-conditioned and the sleeping arrangements offer much more space than other boats!

The Boat

Measuring 100ft, the Moon Palikir is one of the largest vessels sailing the Mentawi Islands. With 6 cabins for up to 12 guests, the charter offers loads of space and privacy for those onboard. All cabins have air conditioning for your comfort.

The charter features a large indoor dining area with a 42-inch plasma screen tv, a big deck area with storage for boards, great for chilling with a beer at the end of a long day surfing. The charter has 2 tenders, so there is always a ride out to the waves. The Moon Palikir is a great charter for those looking for a higher level of comfort than your average charter!

The Surf

The Mentawais are like no other island chain in the world. With such a high concentration of world-class waves and incredible consistency, the area has been drawing traveling surfers since the 1980’s when the first pioneers discovered this treasure trove of perfection.

From perfect peeling points to heavy slabbing barrels, high-performance air waves and chilled longboard spots, the Mentawai Islands has something to offer everyone! The peak months of May – September offer regular larger surf, with the months either side offering consistent perfect surf with lower crowds!

Moon Palikir also runs trips to the Telo Islands and the Banyak Islands.

Why We Love Moon Palikir

James and the team at Awave do great work! Our trip was seamless the whole way through, which is really all you can ever ask for...plus the waves were great

We booked a trip to Niyama Maldives (13 - 20 May 2022) with Awave.

Before deciding to go to Niyama I had close contact with Giulia about what would be the best resort for that season. Giulia responded almost immediately and gave us good and detailled advice about the surf and of course also about the resort.

We had a great trip! The resort was just prefect as well as the service! Unfortunately the waves were a bit choppy and the wind cross/ onshore, but that's mother nature....... (and May is a very difficult month for the Maldives). We still surfed every day in fun size waves and had a great time.

Would definitely recommend Niyama as well as booking with Awave!

Great communication, fantastic care and attention from James who is very knowledgeable and approachable, and the product recommended to us as an alternative, Ayada, was a real paradise. We had very high expectations and we were really impressed with everything (apart from the the quality of the surfboards for hire). :)
