MENTAWAI - INDONESIA
PREMIUM SURF CHARTER
THE BOAT
Designed for long days in the water and relaxed moments in between, our liveaboard blends the charm of a traditional Indonesian boat with the comfort of a modern surf expedition. Featuring 8 air-conditioned en-suite cabins (4 bunk and 4 twin/double), plus spacious indoor and outdoor lounge areas, it’s the perfect place to unwind, reconnect, and enjoy life at sea.
SURF
Mentawai is home to some of the world’s most iconic reef breaks. A surf boat trip gives you the freedom to chase the best conditions, with our captain and surf guides planning each session around the swell, wind, tides, crowds, safety, and the group’s surfing ability. Expect 2–4 sessions a day. Designed for intermediate to expert surfers.

Days on board follow the rhythm of the ocean. Surf, eat, rest and repeat, with time to move between breaks, enjoy long lunches on deck, fish, snorkel or explore an island.

LOCATION:
Mentawai Islands
Off the west coast of Sumatra lies a chain of tropical islands shaped by the Indian Ocean. The Mentawais are legendary among surfers for their consistency, variety and extraordinary concentration of world-class reef breaks. Travelling by liveaboard opens a wider map. Instead of committing to one island or one wave, we can move through the archipelago and adapt the route as conditions change.
around the ocean
Life in Mentawai is inseparable from the sea. Villages, fishing boats, coral reefs and dense tropical landscapes create a destination that feels remote, alive and very different from everyday life on land.
different seasons,
the same purpose
From May to September, Mentawai generally receives larger and more consistent swells, with more powerful and technical conditions. From October to April, the pace is often more relaxed, with smaller surf and fewer crowds. Quality waves can arrive throughout the year, which is why Dreamsea organize trips all year long.
freedom to move
Wind, swell direction and tides can transform a surf forecast from one island to the next. Our advantage is mobility: if a better option is available, the liveaboard can reposition and put the group closer to the conditions we are looking for.
the dreamsea way
We bring the community and warmth of Dreamsea into a surf expedition designed around comfort, flexibility and time in the water. Professional guiding and an experienced operational team take care of the details, while the atmosphere stays informal, welcoming and connected to the ocean.
