Bintang Surf Charters is a 115ft ocean going Schooner, its one of the largest and longest running Mentawai surf charters boat. The Bintang sleeps 10 (recommended) to 12 guests on each Mentawai Surf Charter. With plenty of deck space and fully air conditioned rooms, you can always find somewhere to kick back and relax between surfing the Indonesian islands.
Our boat trips cover all of the Mentawai, Telo, and Banyaks. We are the sole operators and owner of the surf charter boat. The knowledge of our skipper is Second to none in knowing when to trust the forecast or follow the conditions. There are still many waves you can surf out here alone, heavy waves for chargers, and more friendly spots for the less experienced surfer.
Bintang is a sturdy sail boat built by Classic Yachts in Perth in 1988. With a beam of 28 feet. Under 350 HP of diesel power she cruises at 8 knots powered by a German Made D 2866 LE MAN ENGINE .
Early 2017 Bintang went under a complete rebuild in Malaysia with new rigging to insure we get the best out of the winds and insure you get the sailing experience we advertise.
The vessel is sleeker, faster and more efficient for any type of surfer on the planet.
More space and comfort has been added and all beds have been made bigger for the comfort of resting up between surfing or fishing and always guaranteeing a good nights sleep on Our boat. The entire boat has been re-airconditioned and all bedrooms are ensuite to ensure the comfort of all our passengers.
A brand new Kitchen has been put in place and is more practical and allows our master chef Gerry to take his full cooking skills to the next level.
The entire top deck has been modified and we have made it a lot more practical for everyone, opening up the front deck and placing a yoga platform on the roof as well as benches to enjoy those magnificent mentawai sunsets from the top of the vessel after surfing.
