Mentawai Surf Charters



 

MV Saranya

Saranya is an established Mentawai boat that has gotten even better.  Matt Cruden of Mangalui Ndulu (the respected Sumatran surf charter boat) is now the majority owner of Saranya. Matt will be instrumental in the operation of Saranya and work with skipper and crew to ensure that guests receive the same “Mangalui quality” charter experience.  Saranya is a seventeen meter, custom-built steel-hulled twin-engined charter vessel. Built specifically for long distance cruising and with a range of 1,000 nautical miles, Saranya can reach all the best

     

 surfing locations in West Sumatra.  She is well-appointed with all the necessary equipment to ensure that the guests do not have to sacrifice any creature comforts while they are out on charter.  Saranya can carry up to 8 passengers in air-conditioned comfort.

Matt will be putting one of his friends on board as surf guide.  This means that Saranya will be in the right place at the right time to guarantee that you will get maximum surf time.  Saranya has a 3.5 meter dingy with a 15 HP Yamaha outboard for quick runs to and from the line-up or in to the beach for some exploring.  If you enjoy fishing you will like the assortment of  rods, reels & tackle available.     

Saranya has all the modern safety and navigation equipment.  The skipper is an experienced captain who is worked in the Mentawais and throughout SE Asia.  The chef will prepare plenty of delicious, healthy food.  The surf guide will make sure you are where you should be to get the sort of waves you want.  Come for a surfing holiday on Saranya and the only thing you need to be concerned with is whether or not to have another beer.

Saranya will be busy supporting tsunami relief efforts up in Aceh until the end of July, but will be available for Mentawai surf charters from August through mid-November.   And best of all, Saranya will be offered at a special low price this season.
