Description

Experience the Mentawai Islands aboard "Maki," a handcrafted Indonesian Phinisi designed for surfers seeking world-class waves, uncrowded lineups, and comfortable adventures at sea.

Originally built in Sulawesi by the legendary Bugis boatbuilders, Maki combines traditional Indonesian craftsmanship with modern comforts. After serving as a luxury dive vessel in Komodo, she was refitted specifically for surf exploration and now operates throughout the Mentawai Islands.

With an experienced captain, crew, and dedicated surf guide onboard, every trip is built around one goal: getting you to the best waves at the right time. We track swell direction, wind, tides, and crowd movements to maximize your time in the water and help you score unforgettable sessions.

After surfing, relax in spacious indoor and outdoor lounge areas, enjoy freshly prepared meals, watch the sunset from the upper deck, or review the day's highlights with fellow surfers.

Whether you're chasing perfect barrels, long playful walls, or simply an unforgettable surf adventure, Maki delivers a safe, comfortable, and authentic Mentawai experience.

Mentawai is the ultimate playground for all levels of surfers. Lefts, rights, hollow, mushy, long, short, every type of wave in a small chain of islands. Breaking over coral reef, the perfection surprises even the most experienced travellers.

As it provides so much fun and progression, most people come back for more. The atmosphere of a boat trip with friends in such high quality waves and great boat is just priceless
