Great Value Mentawai Charter!

Wave Hunter is a high-quality surf charter offering comfortable accommodation, reliability, and excellent value for money. The boat is run by an experienced charter company with years of experience cruising in the Mentawai and surrounding areas. Primarily running trips to the Mentawai Islands, Wave Hunter can be also chartered to explore the lesser-known areas of the Banyak and Hiniko islands.

With space for up to 12 persons to be accommodated across a large air-conditioned, 12-person bunk room and 2 double cabin rooms, there is tons of space to relax after a long day of surfing! From 2024, the charter will have satellite internet onboard.

The Boat

Wave Hunter comes in at 70ft long with 50mm planking, making for a very solid vessel. It is propelled by 2 Mitsubishi 622s with 280 Hp/ Engine, giving a guaranteed hull speed up to 12 Knots, making it one of the faster cruising charters in the Mentawais. This means less time traveling and more time surfing!

The charter has a large, well decorated indoor dining area with enough space to fit all guests. New for this season is a big sofa and table on the rear deck, perfect for chilling and watching the sunset! The charter comfortably fits up to 12 guests.

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 on either side offering consistent perfect with lower crowds!

It is a right of passage for every surfer to experience Mentawai perfection at least once and Wave Hunter is a great option to experience this at a great price! For more information on the region, see our Ultimate Guide to the Mentawai Islands!

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.
