Here’s why your next trip should be on a surf charter

You might also want to make sure the boat you choose for your trip is up to date with the latest in safety measures, you are going to a remote part of the world so it is important to consider the risks. So, for some, booking a boat in a place they’ve never been before can seem a little confusing. With that in mind, right here, we run through reasons why your next trip should be a surf charter featuring World Surfaris – who just so happen to have a whole range of deals on, for any surfing ability.

Ever fancied a shred across the Maldives? Male and the Northern Atolls? But life, mortgage, plans always seem to get in the way eh?

Maybe you’d be up for a return to everyone’s favourite archipelago Indo? Sure, it’s not the cheapest surf holiday you could do, but when you take into account that’s everything paid for, except flights, it’ll start averaging out. Plus, you can surf a plethora of different spots in the same day, kick back on the deck and let the crew get you to and from. No hassle.

But if you aren’t fussed on the ‘big names’ and want a more mellow vibe then there are plenty of amazing waves in the Mentawais and further North of Sumatra like the Banyaks or the Telo Islands, showing you just how diverse Indonesia really is with surf trip choices.

One thing is for sure, surf charters in a range like World Surfaris are experienced and packed with encyclopaedic knowledge to get you the best waves on the best days throughout the Indian Ocean.

There’s nothing better than rounding out a day in the water than with a few ice cool chillers. Average price for a brew in the Maldives is between $4-5 for something like a Tiger beer, Lion or Heineken. Over in Indo, $1.50-$3 for the staple, Bintang.

Are you a solo surfer in a relationship? Got some non-surfer buddies who want to commit but are worried about things to do while you’re out getting tubed? How about free use of SUPs, snorkelling, fishing, getting a massage. The waters are teeming with wildlife so there’s always something to do once you’re on board.

There are actually some significant bonuses for booking as a group. For example, groups take first priority on sailing dates for a start. The more on board, the cheaper the trip will be (but don’t worry, World Surfaris cap their trips at 10-12 surfers depending on the size of the boat. This means you have to choose your top 10 mates – it’s harder than you think!) Most operators also prefer to guarantee sailings with groups and will give a discounted price to achieve this. You can actually save around $1,000 in some instances.

You also get to set the timescale – a group of your friends plotting the next destination over a few Bintangs is always an enviable experience. You can also share luggage allowances travelling through airports – so feel free to pack an eclectic quiver.

This is a team with more than 20-years experience in surf travel, the team know their stuff. And some trips are discounted right now too. View HERE and HERE. If you don’t want the hassle of handling your useless mates, World Surfaris would love to. Yes, everything from collecting deposits to answering questions about mobile phone reception, what boards to take and how much luggage the airline allows you and so on.
