One of the Most Affordable Mentawai Charters Around
If you’re looking to surf the world-class waves in the Mentawais on a budget, then look no further than the Wild Cat. This excellent value Mentawai charter is one of the most affordable ways to surf the islands.
Recently refurbished in 2021 with a load of upgrades (new teak interior, larger bathroom, and refurbished engines) Wild Cat is perfect for your next Mentawai trip. With space for up to 10 persons, great food, and 500 Bintangs included on every full charter, Wild Cat offers unbeatable value for money!
The Boat
The Wild Cat is a unique catamaran, offering accommodation to comfortably fit 10 surfers onboard. All guests are accommodated below deck in one of the two pontoons of the catamaran. With the engines having been recently overhauled, the Wild Cat is one of the faster charters in the Mentawais so can get between zones easier, equalling more surf time!
There is an indoor dining and seating area, with large sofas to chill on and a large TV to watch back footage from the day’s waves! The charter is equipped with two small tenders to ferry you to the waves, so there is always someone to drop you to the lineup! Photography services are available onboard on request.
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!
It is a right of passage for every surfer to experience Mentawai perfect at least once and the Wild Cat is a great option to experience this at a budget price.
