Surf Remote Indonesia in Comfort and Style

Tiger Blue is a unique, truly luxury Indonesian phinisi boat. This yacht has been made specifically for chartering the archipelago and is one of the most luxurious offerings in the country. Based primarily in the diving haven of Raja Ampat, Tiger Blue can be chartered to surf the remote waves of West Papua and North Malukus.

Experience a once in a lifetime experience in true remote Indonesia, exploring and surfing some of the most remote waves in the country!

The Boat

Tiger Blue is a 112ft long traditional Indonesian phinisi boat, constructed in North Sulawesi in 2008. The charter has been fitted out to the highest standard offering incredibly comfortable and luxurious accommodation for up to 12 guests.

With a total of 5 cabins, the charter is well sized to receive families and groups of friends alike. The charter offers all guests plenty of space to relax and unwind in-between surfs full diving equipment to explore the world-famous reefs, and sumptuous cuisine!

The Surf

Tiger Blue offers the chance to surf some of the most remote surf in all of Indonesia. West Papua is one of the last regions that is still relatively untouched by mass surf tourism due to the difficulty of access and higher prices on charters running in the area.

This means that for the adventurous few that venture into the region, uncrowded and sometimes, unnamed spots await! This is a true surf adventure for those lucky enough to be able to make the trip.

The charter can also run a trip to the North Maluku islands, another region rarely surfed with outstanding natural beauty!

Why We Love Tiger Blue

One of the most luxurious charter operations in Indonesia. High-end charters in Remote Indo.

Families and groups of friends love Tiger Blue. It is the perfect boat for exploring the beauty of Eastern Indonesia.

The option to be chartered to the most remote and untouched locations. Experience surfing where very few others have!

Tiger Blue has space for up to 12 guests spread across 5 rooms. There are 2 double Standard cabins for 2 persons, 2 spacious Superior Cabins for up to 3 persons, and the Master Suite on the main deck. The cabins offer resort-level comfort and have been finished to an incredibly high standard!

The dining area is well proportioned and can seat all guests for meals. The inside of the boat has been tastefully decorated and well designed. Up on deck, you’ll find a few areas to sit and relax and loads of space to store your boards and equipment!

Food

The team onboard Tiger Blue makes sure that all meals are beautifully prepared and made with fresh and wholesome ingredients. The charter serves a mix of Asian and Western menus, freshly prepared by the on-board chef with meals served up at the large dining table on the main deck, except when we head to a nearby island for a beach BBQ. the charter strives to keep their food miles as low as possible and can cater for most dietary requirements and, with advance notice, will aim to source any preferred items.

I've used Awave twice ... so far. This is the second time I've used Awave for a trip to the maldives. Stayed in 2 different resorts this time. They've always been incredibly prompt at replying and handled everything for us, making sure the 2 Resorts were in touch to get us transfered half way through our trip. At one of the resorts I even bumped into Giulia and Delia who were out there surfing at the time. There's no doubt in my mind that I'll use awave again if I'm booking a surf trip

Indonesia Surf Trip/ Java/Bali/Sumba - James Colston was my representative from AWAVE - I’m an older solo surfer and James was attentive, respectful, extremely responsive from the initial planning stages all the way through the booking. And he was so patient with all my crazy questions along the way. I couldn’t have been more pleased with James’s level of service. Thank you James

Giulia was an amazing person to book with. I was overwhelmed with choices initially, but AWAVE knew their stuff and helped me with my options and even suggested delaying my trip so I could go to a certain hotel which ended up being the best decision I made all year.

Giulia and James were always on line to answer any question or to give an advice. The Ayada resort is perfect both for families or for couples. We did not have waves as the season goes from April to September, but there are plenty options to have fun and good times. Highly recommended both Awave and Ayada.

The AWAVE team are knowledgable and helpful. Giulia is a very helpful and patient person to deal with, and do not worry, you can trust her. I had to delay my trip to Morocco due to unforeseen circumstances and Giulia was very understanding. I have just returned from having a fantastic week at Amouage in Taghazout. Thanks AWAVE!

Awesome holiday to Hudhuranfushi. Giulia was very helpful and quick to respond and overall we were very impressed with Awave Travel.
Lohi's is a private, on site, awesome left hander that just kept giving. Also had options of 2 daily surf boat trips that went to other local breaks such as Sultans, Ninja's, Cokes, Jails. The surf team are amazing and we scored great waves the whole time we were there.
Stayed in a Sunset family beach villa which was perfect for a family of 4, then upgraded for the last 3 nights to Ocean Villas, both great for different reasons!
Island staff are so helpful and welcoming, and there's a good variety of food options available. Lots of other things to do such as paddleboarding, jet ski-ing, spa treatments, yoga and amazing snorkelling - with sharks, turtles and rays! We also hired bikes to get around and do morning surf checks!
An amazing trip, thank you Awave and Hudhuranfushi!

We had an amazing time on the Mentawai islands booked through Awave Travel.
Giulia was very helpful and available at all times during the booking process. And we had the best time on the Mentawais on the Maki Boat. The staff were amazing. Raul the surf guide was very helpful, friendly and coached us on the waves. Kaique the photographer produced top quality pictures and videos from the water, boat and drone.
Overall very happy and would highly recommend it.

We charted Seafarer for a 10 day trip in the Maldives. We booked with AWAVE about 12 months before. James was super helpful, really responsive and just easy to deal with. We even made a very last minute change to go to the central atolls which he arranged pretty much straight away. The trip itself was unreal, great surf, amazing wildlife and scenery. If you’re thinking about a surf charter, do it and book through these guys!
