Mentawai Blue Surf Charter (Padang, Indonesia) ★★★

Launched in late ’99, The Naga Laut has been continually upgraded to ensure a comfortable and unique experience. Naga Laut has been designed exclusively for upmarket surf charters in the Mentawai Islands. The interior has been beautifully finished in polished local timbers. A spacious living area onboard provides all the amenities of home including full air conditioning, a new satellite phone, TV, DVD, VCD, WIFI, fridge, freezer, fishing and snorkeling gear. Naga Laut has 4 comfortable two-bed cabins, and 1 big four-bed cabin, all with multiple power sockets to keep your laptops, phones and cameras charged, safe, and out of the way. On special request, Naga Laut can hold up to 14 surfers but sails most comfortably with 8 to 10.
We have two tenders, a Boston Whaler fiberglass speedboat with a Yamaha 85 hp to get you quickly and comfortably to the line-up, and a smaller zodiac with a 15hp. Both are always on standby to quickly get you to the waves, do shore excursions or go fishing.

FISHING ON MENTAWAI SURF CHARTER BOAT
Fishing as a sport in the Mentawais is still in its infancy though indications of its potential can be seen in the types of fish caught by surf charter operators over the last few years. These fish include the common pelagic such as Spanish Mackerel, Tuna, Wahoo and Barracuda. More exotic species such as Sailfish and Marlin have been caught recently trolling in the Sipora channel. Other fish commonly caught close by are Golden Travelly and Coral Trout.
The zone around ‘Setan Island’, North Sipora, is possibly the most abundant fishing ground in the Mentawais. Another spot populated of schools of tuna and the giants GT is a secret spot close to the Ht’s area. Onboard the Naga Laut trolling rigs are available for guests to use. We also have a range of spinning rods for your use. Of course you are more than welcome to bring your own gear.
Spearfishing is allowed in limited areas for free divers only. The Mentawais has been featured as a spearfishing destination on several Hawaiian dive magazine articles.
We always aim to implement a ‘catch what we eat’ policy and we are more than happy to have our chefs prepare your catch cooked in the style you like. WE CATCH WHAT WE EAT – NO LESS NO MORE
