North Sumatra Surf |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
Powerful Indian Ocean swells make for great waves all along the exposed Indonesian archipelago. Once-remote islands like Nias and the Mentawais are now famous surf destinations. Lesser known, less accessible breaks off Sumatra's north can still be reached on a live-aboard charter boat. The surf season runs from March to mid-October, when winds are from the east and southeast - a skipper who knows the area can reliably find a break with perfect offshore conditions. |

About Bohemian |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Bohemian is a fully air-conditioned 48-ft aluminium
catamaran. It is purpose-built for Indonesian surf charters by skipper
Steve Bridge, based on his years of experience surfing and cruising
in tropical waters. Flared hulls and lots of headroom make it spacious,
comfortable and stable. With only three private, twin-berth cabins and just six surfers on board, Bohemian is never crowded. The light and airy saloon has ample seating, TV, VCD, and stereo. Generators and batteries provide power 24 hours a day. |

She has been in charge of the galley for three years, and makes tasty, healthy meals using local and imported ingredients, as well as the fish we catch along the way. Bohemian is fully equipped for long range surf charters with two Yanmar diesel engines, all modern navigational and safety equipment, satellite phone and water desalinator. |

Bohemian Tour Packages |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Holiday tour packages usually include flights
via Singapore and Medan to Sibolga or Nias, on Sumatra's north-west coast.
Sibolga and Nias are the closest airpports to Nias and the Banyak islands, and allow Bohemian to get to the North Sumatra surf much sooner than
boats from Padang. Generally, guests arrive in Medan early on a Monday morning, where they're met by a Bohemian representative and transferred to the domestic terminal for the flight to Sibolga or Nias. On arrival at Sibolga or Nias, guests are met at the airport and transferred directly to the port where the boat is waiting. Bohemian departs Monday afternoon/evening and guests will be surfing the next morning. At the end of the charter, Bohemian returns to Sibolga or Nias early Friday morning, and guests are transferred to the airport for the flight to Medan. Onward connections to Singapore or elsewhere are usually on the afternoon of the same day (Friday). Holiday packages include all airport transfers and 10 days/11 nights on Bohemian, including all meals, non-alcoholic drinks, on-board fishing equipment and snorkeling gear. |
