Moon Palikir Charter :: OVERVIEW

Moon Palikir is the newest boat in the fleet of Mentawai Surf Charters, a surf travel company run by Carlos Kadu and Marlon Beztrucha. They are two surfers from Brazil who first visited the Mentawais in the mid-1990s. They loved the place and figured since they were spending most of their time there, they should make a business of it. They formed Mentawai Surf Charters in 2008 and began doing surf exploration in a 76’ wooden, custom-built surf explorer.

Three years later Moon Palikir was inspired by guests commenting that they would appreciate the opportunity to charter with their crew aboard a more upscale and spacious vessel. Their second boat is 89 feet long, custom built of fiberglass, powered by twin 420 HP diesel engines and outfitted with all the modern conveniences. Moon Palikir is a goer, and designed to deliver surfers to the best waves with speed and safety, protect them in comfort in air conditioned rooms, fill their stomachs with delicious quality food and their heads with good times.
