Classic Charter Operating in the Mentawai and Banyak Islands!

Jump aboard Seriti! This solid charter was built in the US and is Indonesian-flagged. The 25m aluminum charter has been fully customised for exploring the outer islands of the Indonesian archipelago.

Sleeping up to 12 persons, Seriti operates trips in both the Mentawai and Banyak Islands. With a long history of running trips in Indonesia, this is a great charter for groups or solo travelers to join!

The Boat

The Seriti is a 25m long aluminum charter. This solid and dependable design has a very experienced crew, providing comfort and safety onboard all trips. The charter can comfortably sleep 12 persons across  2 doubles and 10 single bunk beds located in 2 large air-conditioned cabins.

The charter has a large dining room, loads of space to chill throughout, and an epic rear deck to watch sunsets from! The charter comes with 2 support boats, allowing you to split your crew between waves!

The charter is fitted with EPIRB, 7 fire extinguishers, lifeboat for 25 people, 5 bilge pumps, GPS, radar, and the latest generation sonar for your safety!

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 with lower crowds!

The Banyak Islands are located further North of the Mentawais and hold a whole host of world-class waves waiting for you. Generally, a region with lower crowds, this is perfect for those wanting quieter surf.

Why We Love Seriti

The flexibility to offer both the Mentawai and Banyak Island routes!

The charter is well built and managed by a very experienced crew!

The cabins are really comfortable with full air conditioning for all indoor areas!

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.
