SERITI
Mentawai + North Sumatra
The Charter
Steady, from Banyaks to the Ments
Seriti is a solid 25-meter aluminium surf charter built to chase waves in comfort and handle any weather. She sleeps up to 12 surfers in two air-conditioned cabins, with a cozy indoor saloon/dining area, a shaded aft deck also holding all the boards, and a top-deck lookout that’s also a great spot for meals with a view. A small dinghy and a speedboat handle lineup shuttles while the crew keeps the vibe high and the operation tight. The guides are top notch and know these islands better than most, thus scoring more. Trips run on set schedules across the Mentawais and North Sumatra and book out early, so hit us up before they're gone. Solos and small groups are welcome on selected open trips too.
Accommodation
Practical quarters
Seriti sleeps up to 12 surfers in two air-conditioned cabins with 10 king single & 2 double bunk berths, each with its own reading light and power socket. Mattresses are comfortable and the layout is practical, simple, and easy to live in. The indoor saloon is a cool retreat with big sofas, tables, and an entertainment setup. Outside, the shaded aft deck and roomy top deck add plenty of space to hang.

THE SURF
right area at the right time
From The Hole to Treasure Island, Seriti runs set routes through the Mentawais and North Sumatra, putting you in the right area at the right time for the best winds and swell windows. The guides are dialled, reading conditions and crowds better than most, so you end up on the best wave, not the obvious one. With a fast tender and a smaller dinghy, groups can split to chase different waves and dodge crowds. Expect everything from playful points to heavy barrels across Banyaks, Telo, and the Mentawai Islands, with a pro photographer onboard to capture it all.

THE FOOD
The good stuff, every day
On Seriti, food is taken seriously. Chef Ari cooks the way fishermen like to eat: fresh fish straight from the ocean, tropical fruits, and healthy, hearty dishes that feel good after hours in the water. It is gourmet comfort with the soul of the sea and nothing goes on the table unless it is something the owners have tasted and approved themselves.

EXPERIENCES
When surfed out
Days on Seriti slow down nicely once the boards are racked. Cast a line for dinner, kayak around quiet bays, or snorkel over warm reefs between sessions. Beach bonfires and BBQs happen when the mood is right, and sunset hangs on the top deck are a daily ritual. Simple, easy moments that make the trip more than just waves.
