“Hi Belinda
We have nothing but the highest of praise. Everyone had an amazing time and loved the boat and the crew (especially Craig and Salamat)! Also, the whole booking process was very easy and professional which I’m sure isn’t the case with all charter operations. A big thanks to you for this.”

“Just wanted to thank you guys for such an amazing trip. Expectations were exceeded with all the boys and we are stoked. We wanted to take the time to thank the crew again for all their efforts and let you know for some of the boys who have had surf guides before, they hold Craig as the best they have had. He found us uncrowded waves (our main request), was knowledgable on the waves, winds etc but most importantly constantly got along with everyone very well.
We all have such a great time. And with all the charters in the Mentawais nowadays, I feel like it was a privilege to have gone on the Barrenjoey.
Thanks again on behalf of our group (crew),
Rob”
