  • "Thanks to Jules and his team for an amazing surf trip! The Pelagic was my 7th boat trip in the Mentawai's and the best. The boat is fast and super comfortable. We went to waves that many other boats don't travel to and got waves to ourselves, as well as scoring uncrowded sessions at the name breaks we wanted to chase. The crew was always keen to fish and we ate unbelievably well. Highly recommend - Thanks Jules"

  • "Best boat trip ever! The crew are unreal, so helpful in every way possible. The food is next level!
Luke the skipper was unbelievable, he was so good at finding us the best waves on the day and some how able to dodge most of the crowds. Could not recommend a trip on the pelagic any higher.
Julian and Alan are super easy to work with in booking and picking the dates too!"

  • "In 15 years of travelling to Indonesia, this was the most incredible surf trip I have ever been on! If it wasn't for our guide Wade, and the crew it just wouldn't have been anything close to the experience and high level of service we had. Truly outstanding customer service from the crew, what good blokes and amazing food.   The guiding from Wade provided an experience you just wouldn't get from anyone else with a less intimate knowledge and easy going attitude. It was like we were just hanging out with a mate and everything was super easy and no problem. He ensured we surfed uncrowded waves despite a lack of swell and 4 boats anchored on the same break, and gave us great activities when we weren't surfing if we had the energy. He gave us an all rounded experience of the Ments like no other,  truly memorable once in a lifetime trip." Gareth Cope

  • "Trip of a lifetime, hands down. The boat, crew and waves were beyond anything I could have dreamed of and the memories will last forever. Imagine waking up in paradise on a beautiful boat with your mates, staring at perfect empty barrels. Pelagic is quick and gets to the breaks before anyone else. Grab a coffee, jump straight into the lineup, spend a few hours surfing the best waves of your life, then get picked up by the tender so there’s hardly any paddling. Back on the boat you’re handed an ice-cold drink and a clean towel. Breakfast might be avocado and eggs on toast with a flat white while you laugh with your mates about the session. That was every morning. It wasn’t just the surf – the whole experience was incredible. Wade and Mull kept the adventures flowing, Jhoni and Yuris made exploring the north and south Ments safe and fun, and Dyan and Beni are absolute magicians in the kitchen, every meal a 10 out of 10. Unlimited Bintangs didn’t hurt either."

  • “Dear Pelagic Charters, My name is Gary Mountford and was lucky enough to be on the Jan 9-25 charter. I have been surfing for some 52 years now and the last 2 weeks were probably the best 15 consecutive days of my surfing life. As one of the founders of Gorilla Grip and F.C.S. I have been fortunate enough to surf many countries over many years so I feel the above comment has a little merit. Not only were the waves and weather great, but the boat and in particular the crew were outstanding, always smiling and ever helpful.   Attention to detail was amazing and it was easy to see that they love and appreciate their employment. Nito the skipper is obviously a true professional. I have just reviewed the disc of photos that  Luke and the crew so kindly provided. Great shots and great coverage. It seems there must have been a camera clicking non stop. The boat itself is a credit to whoever designed it. Anyway, all the very best and thank you for providing a great service.”

  • "Dear Alan,
I was on the recent charter with the Pelagic which returned on the 24th of October.
I would like to congratulate you and your team on the great service. I was really impressed with both Mat and the Indo crew. The staff were always busy, showing initiative, and constantly thinking about and focused on the client. There were many small touches of service that really added to our holiday, ensuring we were chasing and on the best breaks and always comfortable. I do not normally go out of my way to provide feedback, but I thought this time I had to pass on my thanks and let you know I think the team are doing a great job."

  • "Well Lads – What an awesome couple of weeks, I so badly want to be back there taking off on bombs and getting rolled around on reefs, slamming bintangs (Fire in hole, Reload), having zero responsibilities, getting Eadie to cook me fried rice and omelette, movies when I can't surf no more, hearing the zinging noise as another fish smashes one of our lures, ahahhhhahaaaaaaaaaa, get me back there!!"

  • "Surf charter is amazing. I suggest getting on their with a group of your mates and having the time of your life. Foods awesome and the staff running the boat are very welcoming and make your time on the boat very easy. All round good experience for ever level surfer. Cold beers to ;)"

  • "Our recent trip with the Pelagic Surf Charter was outstanding, exceeding all expectations. Julian ensured we consistently surfed the best uncrowded spots, demonstrating expert local knowledge. The crew was exceptional, always providing five-star service. The food quality was consistently high, with the chef catering to all including those with vegetarian and pescatarian diets. A standout detail was the crew meeting us at the dinghy with cold water and fresh towels immediately after every session, a small touch that made a huge difference. If you are looking for a top-tier, service-focused surf experience in the Mentawais, I highly recommend the Pelagic Charter. I would absolutely love to return."

  • "The boat itself is in great condition and kept clean, Luke and Ego were able to find us uncrowded surf spots - it wasn't easy due to always changing weather, wind, conditions. The food was amazing and different - from before dawn breakfast to dinners with desserts and snacks in between! Loved the crew and fellow surfers, didn't want to get off the boat in the end! already asking to come back same time next year! :)"
