North Sumatra Surf
Powerful Indian Ocean swells make for great waves all along the exposed Indonesian archipelago. Once-remote islands off the coast of Sumatra, like Nias and the Mentawais, are now famous surf destinations but there are many lesser known, less accessible breaks and the best way to reach them is 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. (Indonesia Surf)
Tour Packages «
Tour packages usually include flights via Singapore and Medan to Sibolga, on Sumatra's north-west coast. Sibolga is the closest port to Nias and the Banyak islands, and allows Bohemian to get to the North Sumatra surf much sooner than boats from Padang.
Generally, guests arrive in Medan on Sunday, where they will be met by a Bohemian representative and transferred to the domestic terminal for the flight to Sibolga. (Surboards are carried by truck from Medan to the port at Sibolga and will be ready for Bohemian's departure). Guests are met at Sibolga airport and transferred directly to the port. Bohemian departs Sunday evening and guests will be surfing the next morning.

After 10 days of surfing and cruising, Bohemian returns to port at Sibolga on Thursday morning, and guests are transferred to the airport for the flight to Medan. There's a final night staying at Danau Toba Hotel in Medan before flying to Singapore on Friday.

Tour packages include accommodation in Medan after the trip, all airport transfers and 10 days/11 nights on Bohemian, including all meals and non-alcoholic drinks.

About Bohemian «
Bohemian is a 48-ft aluminium catamaran, purpose-built for Indonesian surf charters by skipper Steve Bridge, using the knowledge he has gained from years of experience surfing and cruising in tropical waters. Flared hulls and lots of headroom make Bohemian spacious, comfortable and stable. It's fully equipped for long range surf charters with two Yanmar diesel engines, all modern navigational and safety equipment, satellite phone and water desalinator.

The boat is fully air-conditioned and the light and airy saloon has ample seating, TV, VCD, and stereo. On-board generators and batteries provide power 24 hours a day. Accommodation is in private twin-berth cabins and Bohemian carries just six surfers, so it's never cramped or crowded.
The on-board chef cooks a scrumptious variety of Thai and Western dishes and deserts, guaranteed to satisfy the hungriest surfers. She has been in charge of the galley for three years, and she knows how to make the tastiest, healthiest meals using local and imported ingredients, as well as preparing the fish we catch along the way.
