Nomad Surf Boat Charter

Since 1995, the Nomad and its crew have been searching for the perfect Sumatran wave, a journey which they share with every guest.

The Nomad is a traditional 60ft Indonesian sailing 'Phinisi' with a crew of 4 experienced boatmen. She cruises at a speed of 8 knots powered by a 220 HP engine, and sleeps groups of 8 guests comfortably. With all the mod cons you could need, like aircon and a flat screen TV, reviewing the days surf has never been so easy.

Captain, Jake Thompson is a keen surfer and experienced sailor with almost a decade of insider knowledge about every surf break in the region. Jake and his crew will go the extra mile when it comes to finding the sickest, least crowded waves.

From the Mentawais, through to Banyak, the Nomad crew will take you on a surf adventure of a lifetime. With world-renowned breaks like Playgrounds, Macaronis and Pasti, you're guaranteed waves that meet your every desire; from long deep barrels and perfect peaks to longer rides.

You won't be left hungry, the crew prepare fresh, healthy meals for you round the clock. A combination of Western and Indonesian cuisine, as well as daily fresh caught fish, will give you the energy you need.

Trips vary from 7- 14 days and are flexible; they can start from Padang, heading to the Mentawais or further North.
