the best surf charter BOAT for small groups

Built in Australia and purpose-made for surf travel, Tengirri is a 46-foot power catamaran that has been running charters across the Mentawai, Telo, and Banyak Islands since 2005. It is one of the original boats that helped define the surf charter experience in Indonesia. Fast, stable, and comfortable, Tengirri is designed for surfers who value simplicity, reliability, and time in the water. With space for only eight guests, the experience is personal and relaxed, with great food, a friendly crew, and a focus on finding the best waves each day. From its base in Padang, Tengirri has you surfing the morning after you arrive, maximizing every trip with smart overnight travel and the ability to quickly relocate when conditions change. Known as one of the strongest, safest, and fastest vessels operating surf charters in Indonesia today, Tengirri delivers the ultimate combination of experience and comfort.

The accommodation

Tengirri’s cabins are designed for rest and comfort after long days in the water. Each space is air-conditioned, clean, and thoughtfully laid out to give guests privacy and a good night’s sleep. With room for eight surfers across six cabins, everyone has their own bed, and smaller groups often enjoy their own private cabin. Soft lighting, fresh linen, and the gentle sway of the ocean make the rooms calm and inviting.

the crew

For more than twenty years, Tengirri’s Indonesian crew has been welcoming surfers from all over the world. They know these islands inside out, from the tides and winds to the reefs that only reveal themselves at the right moment. Their experience shows in everything they do, from the way they move the boat to how smoothly each day flows.

Every charter departs with four Indonesian crew and a western surf guide who manages the trip, reads the conditions, and makes sure you are always in the best place for the best waves.

All crew are fully certified and trained, with years of real time at sea behind them. When you step onboard Tengirri, you are looked after by a team who has done this for decades and still loves what they do.
