KUDANIL EXPLORER
Indonesia
The Charter
REMOTE EXPEDITIONS IN ULTIMATE COMFORT
Once a long-range exploration vessel, now reimagined for luxurious adventure, this is one of Indonesia’s most spacious and purpose-built charter yachts. Built for performance and designed for comfort, it journeys deep into the lesser-traveled regions of the archipelago—across both the Indian and Pacific Oceans—delivering immersive experiences far from the crowds. With unmatched knowledge, a dialed-in surf operation, and the furthest reach, the yacht consistently offers exceptional access to remote, world-class waves. Combining adventure, cultural discovery, and refined living, it has become a favorite among returning guests. Whether you're chasing perfect surf, diving lively reefs, or simply exploring in style, this vessel sets a new standard for expedition travel in Indonesia.
Accommodation
The largest usable guest area on a surf charter
Boasting over 1,000 sqm (11,700 sqft) of guest space, and beyond your private 35 sqm (376 sqft) cabin (one of eight onboard) you’ll find a variety of inviting spaces to relax, dine, and gather. We love that each cabin features wide ocean and landscape views plus a private balcony, offering the perfect blend of comfort and connection to your surroundings. Whether you’re sipping your morning brew, unwinding after an epic surf, or simply soaking in the scenery, every corner of the yacht is designed for spacious, stylish living at sea.

THE SURF
A CLEAR GOAL: UNCROWDED SURF
Having a vessel this capable, with so much accumulated knowledge onboard and a focus on the remote East—navigating both the Indian Ocean (Sumba, Savu, Rote, Sumbawa, and more) and the Pacific (from West Papua to Northern Maluku)—comes with serious perks. We were there from the very beginning, organizing Kudanil’s first two surf charters. Since then, they’ve explored far and wide, constantly discovering and protecting hidden gems. Every itinerary is custom-made, with full flexibility to chase waves and score. Whether you’re after dreamy barrels, playful peelers, or a perfect mix of both, it’s all possible. Just reach out: we’ll guide you on when and where to go.
