S/Y Freedom

If you would like to surf the Mentawais with a small group of friends, the 40’ Catamaran Freedom is the way to go. Freedom was built by an award winning shipyard in South Africa to a very high standard inside and out. She is a beautiful, high tech, and most important a very comfortable boat. The layout maximizes the space, and unless you have been on a catamaran before you won’t believe how much

room there is for a vessel of this size. Freedom is committed to the small group surf charter experience and only takes a maximum 4-5 surfers. This is in comparison to 8-10 surfers on other charter boats.

Freedom is equipped with all modern safety and navigation equipment. She cruises at an unbelievably quiet 7-8 knots under power, and when the wind is right the sails go up for extra speed. With a draft of less than a meter she is perfect for getting close to the surf breaks or inside the lagoons to give you the best view of the waves. Freedom is air-conditioned, has 2 forward cabins with twin berths and one aft cabin with a double berth. Both forward cabins have private flatscreen TV’s and DVD players. There are 3 showers (2 outside 1 inside) with hot and cold water. Freedom’s comfortable interior saloon (with its own TV and DVD player), covered cockpit, and ample deck space which is shaded by awnings, give you a choice of different places to relax. The 2 trampolines up at the bow are like big flat hammocks, great for lazing around and watching the surf or just catching the afternoon breeze. The 3.5 meter rigid hull inflatable dingy is powered by a 15hp outboard for quick and convenient runs to and from the lineup.

Freedom is the best option for a small group of friends who just want to go on charter by themselves and not with a bunch of strangers. Freedom’s skipper is a good surfer who knows all the breaks. Onboard internet weather and swell maps allow him to stay on top of the conditions. He will customize the charter to the surfing level of the group so that you will be in the type of surf and crowd (or no crowd) where YOU feel most comfortable. And if you are keen to catch fish, Freedom has all the gear, including 2 Penn reels. There are always lines out when Freedom is underway, and one group from San Diego caught 17 big fish during their 10-day charter. The western chef will provide plenty of good, healthy food and for you coffee lovers there is an espresso machine.
